N900 connection speed!
 

Dear members,

First of all, thank you for every post on maemo.org. It really helped me with my N900.


One of the main reasons I bought the N900 was its modem, but after using it for a while I was disappointed.

Comparing my experience with the Samsung Innov8 (7.2Mbps) the N900 teathering is nothing.


When connecting my Innov8 with my mac I got an average speed of 2.5mbps, while with N900 its down to 0.5mbps.

I really would appreaciate your comments and help.

Sincerely,

Ahmad

What connection method are you using to tether the two phones?

Re: N900 connection speed!
 

I've tried both, cable and bluetooth.

With bluetooth, you're doing pretty well to be getting 0.5mbit, this is bluetooth's fault, not the n900's.
With the cable you should have no problems and i'd be more inclined to suggest the slowdown is your provider more than the phone, you may wish to make sure there're no bottlenecks in the actual tethering process though, which you can do by running a speedtest on any number of connection testing websites on your n900 and then on your mac while tethered via the cable, and see if the speeds are the same.

Make sure you manually disconnect the phone from internet (3G) before tethering. If I recall correctly I had the same problem once.

Re: N900 connection speed!
 

Well, when I test my speed from the mobile I got around 3 - 4mbps, but when tethering its down to 0.5mbps, so how can I figure out where is the problem? Is it the modem script I'm using? If so, where can I find a modem script that will boost my connection speed to meet the one I got from the mobile?

I start the connection from the computer connection manager, while I'm not connected in the phone, thanks! ;-)
