Poor Wifi performance

[Rui Vaz]

The top connection speed i’ve seen so far on windows wi-fi status (only tested on 2 wifi N routers) is 65Mbps.

Just got the device and I’m having problems with the WiFi, it just seems very slow. I took the cube to the router and it does pickup a lot. My phone next to the cube i9 can load videos on youtube faster and in higher quality.

The Wi-Fi is a big let down, otherwise the device is fantastic for the price. Is it really connected internally via USB 2.0?
One solution could be an external USB 3.0 dongle, I used to use one of those with my PC as a student and never experienced speeds this slow.

I also have problems with wifi when usb 3.0 flash drive is plugged in on my cube i9. Internet just stops working but as soon as I take away usb flash it immediately  starts working again and pages load as usual.

Then I tried old usb 2.0 flash drive and the was no any issues at all!

It is very annoying. Have not tried usb c.

That’s the same problem i have.

The workaround i have adopted until the present time, is using only USB 2.0 devices, or if i need to connect a USB 3.0, i will only do it when i am not needing the Wifi connecting… because it’s going to drop!

Also the Wifi tops speed is around 45Mbits, but it drops to around 20Mbits when using a Bluetooth mouse with the built-in cube Bluetooth connection.

I guess the Wifi is the biggest drawback of this device.

Does anyone here has replaced the Wifi card?

After installing the drivers found on XDA it seems to be a bit better, or I could be imagining it!

my problem with poor wifi signal is when connect one BT device.. so i think the problem is a bad wifi-BT card… i tried connect my headset, one speaker Bt and my lg g4 with same result.. it reduce speed..even spotify lag!
