hi there been doing some tests and most rooted roms have wifi speed issues where if there non-rooted (stock) the speeds are good

ie: rooted wifi download speed max =2.4 megs

non-rooted wifi download speeds max 19.7 megs

can anyone explain that or even look into fixing pls

I don't know about root firmwares from other sources but for the ones I built here on arctablet.com, I don't see any impact of my modifications on the WiFI speed or stability.

I wonder if your WiFI tests are precisely measured and all parameters are equal when you check speed between two firmwares. If you are measuring Internet bandwidth there are a lot of factors than can influence the results, the only reliable measurement I would see if measuring network speed on a local area network.

Cheers.

hi there admin i use a wifi ftp that is a foot away from my router and when i use the non- rooted 4.2.2 that was released on the 10 may it was transfering between 12 and 19 megs now i installed the lastest off this site and also used few others from this site and i cant get a transfer higher than 2.4 megs i did try and reinstalled the 10th may firmware but link never worked but i must add the only differance between my original and the lastest one on here is that it rooted ....its a pain cos love this latest 2.04 fast as and every running sweet other than the slow wifi

oh and i have tried 3 differant routers cos i have 2 in room and all still same the rooted is slower than the original non-rooted one

thx bud

Where can I find stock 4.2.2 rom? I probably have the same issue as you, 2Mb/s speed with all custom 4.2.2 roms. All links I tried are in China and timing out on download.
