#Mobile internet speed is not as high as PC
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
How is your internet so fast!?!
What phone do you have? The wifi chips in phones tend to vary greatly between manufacturers and devices
Gigabit 
upload so low because coax connection xd
I’m jealous lmao, I get 60 down, 15 up
My phone is one plus ce nord 5G. It has 5G in its name so I figure it's capable of 5G. It spec on the web site also said it can readch up to 1200 , I think ......
that 1200 is always with an asterisk of "depends on conditions", and in this case only applies to the mobile network 
And the only way you're gonna be hitting 5g speeds that high is if you're directly on a network that supports it (not an MVNO) and living within a city in direct or close to direct line of view to them towers
My head explode with all these words 🥹
I mean technical words
It does support wifi ac which is a theoretical max of 1.2g but you're very likely never going to see them speeds.. it also heavily depends on the provider of that wifi chip, quality of antennas and the placement of them, etc.. Also depends on the software support/setup of that wifi chip by the oem using it
the caveman tldr: phone not stronk enough, words on paper never mean direct "what you'll get"
I see just like the illust on cup noodle right
I just watched a youtube about British people calling Cup noodle one of the best food they have eaten although it suppose to be just simple fast food ....
It's just my bro who is in the same house as me also use this Wifi and he can reached 600 . I would have not made such a big deal but his speed made me realized there might just be something is bottlenecking my phone ,if software-wise , maybe I can fix it
his phone is poco f4
That phone supports wifi 6, very likely why
Isn't much you can do for your phone other than.. buy a new one
It does also make sense because iirc, oneplus's lineup of "nord" devices is essentially their budget phones, they cut corners on them
If you care about always getting the best everything possible/not hitting bottlenecks of hardware, always stick to main flagship lineups (samsung s series, google's pixel lineup excluding the "a" devices, oneplus "number" devices, etc..) hopefully you get what i'm hinting at from that
It'll (almost, there are few exceptions sometimes) always get you an overall well-rounded device that's actually designed properly and will function entirely as you'd expect
With phones it varries so much
^^ always gotta look at in-depth reviews and testing in a variety of scenarios if you want to make a decision of buying a phone
wait so does that mean my phone does not support wifi 6 ? O_O
Yours supports up to wifi 5 ac, not wifi 6
damn now that explain why
I thought it can do 5G so it automatically support wifi 6 too
Now it all makes sense
Mobile modems and wifi modems function the same in terms of what they do and the very general idea of how they receive signals
How they actually work are massively different though xd
Ever notice that laptops almost never have the ability to connect to mobile networks? It's because it would require an entire second modem chip and seperate antennas routed to be able to support it, hence why it's really only ever seen on business laptops
Same thing as you technically could design a phone that literally only supports 2.4g wifi, but supports latest 5g standards for mobile networks
I am starting to see the LIGHT
I hope ..........

I am reading on wifi 6 and 5G now but It's too hard ffor me to process. I just know 5G is better than 2.4 and wifi 6 is better than wifi 5 and that is just waht I was looking for in my new rotuer
I just test the speed on my old phone which is 11 pro max, it said it support wifi 6 but the speed I got there is only 400 so maybe there could be something wrong with my wireless network ?
cause my pc uses ethernet
Comes full circle back to the differences in phone manufacturing
Of course the budget phone is going to perform worse than the iphone when testing the "same" shit xd
That's the only thing i will give apple credit for in their phones, consistency of functionality between devices (ignoring the whole issue of parts replacements, etc..)
When it comes to processing it, it'll take time but it'll suddenly click one day
The biggest thing that you need to realize and do, is to stop comparing mobile networks to wifi networks
Wifi: 2.4ghz, 5ghz, 6ghz, etc..
Mobile networks: 2g, 3g, 4g, 5g, etc..
In most scenarios, wifi will be listed as "ghz", mobile networks will be listed as "g", they are not comparable to each other as they are completely different hardware-wise
I see so does that mean Wifi 6 suppose to produce speed up to 6 Ghz ?
It's the wavelengths/"bands" that they broadcast, not the speed
For finding the speeds of each one, gotta pull out the handy google
Very generally speaking, the higher the number, the faster it is.. each has their own set of optimal use conditions though
OH I see. It's ASUS or router maker Fault then . Cause my old Tp link and my new Asus Router all call their wifi 2.4 g and 5G so I thought this 5G was the mobile network but it's not . It suppse to be 5GHZ
General rule of thumb is.. if it's not a giant cell tower, it's not a mobile network xd
I see thank you so much I am starting to see the difference
Ever see one of these? This is where your mobile network connection comes from, one of these fuckers xd
so bascailly 5G just is not relevant to our current topic now all we care about is wifi 6 right
bingo
if you ever see any mention or correlation to wifi, assume it's wifi and not mobile network
So uhm what were we talking about .....
Whole topic started from your phone not being as fast as your brother, lead into the talk of what wifi bands your phone supports vs your brothers 
Which then turned into explaining the difference between mobile and wifi networks

So I guess my best solution at this point based on what you said to ultilize the gigabit connection is getting SAMSUNG GALAXY ULTRA S22 OR IPHONE 15 PRO MAX 512 GB , Something like that right
nothing can salvage my phone from getting higher than 300 , am i rite ?
🥹
Wouldn't have to go to that level of extreme, but generally speaking ye
When do you even use more than that on a phone
I know but the thing it's just I paid for the whole 1giga bit each month so I just don't want my money wasted you know. What if I don't have PC , then although i paid for 1000 mbps but all i use every day is 300 then I might just buy a cheaper internet plan instead
Actually hit the bingo on what i was typing, damn your fingers are fast
It's one of those "my network can do it, so i want my devices to support it" type of deal
AWWW , you are the first person to understand me so deeply ❤️
everyone in other thread is just making fun of me for trying to get more speed on my phone
yeah of course I am not going to fully use any of that but I already paid for it any way. might just as well use all of it
if you already pay for the internet, there's no shame in wanting a device that can saturate it.. in the end you literally just end up with faster downloads/etc
It's def something i personally wouldn't replace a working phone otherwise over though unless i had other issues with the device as well
yeah thank you so much for your suggestion . My phone has been acting weird since the first day I got it .but now it is normal in my daily use so I guess I don't need to replace it now
But one thing still on my mind is why the 11 pro max only get 400 on the internet speed. I thought it at least can go up to 600 like my bor's Poco
I'd honestly just throw the blame onto apple's software and ignore it, it should be getting them speeds (or higher) but 
is what it is
The only way anyone could ever get me to use an apple device, is if it's as a work exclusive device.. aint no way in hell i would daily drive one
yeah Apple of not capable of online file download is already a menace to me
Well If I have tons of money and pay for every paid app and services there on apple then yeah , it could be good but no sane people would do that
Why do that when i can go yoink the apk for free and just sideload it on android 
Totally wouldn't do that or anything, yep definitely not

Yessir
