Do I have the wifi issue?

Do you have another iOS device to run the same test. Also does your wifi router broadcast in dual band 2.4 and 5 Ghz?

 

Try rebooting your router, and reset network settings on the phone, then reconnect manually to your wifi. If you're still having problems you likely do have an issue, probably an incompatability between the router and phone. My belief is most of these issues can and will be fixed in an update.

 

The combo router/modems are notoriously crappy. Get a seperate router, hook up to modem and turn off the wifi router on modem.

 

Sure you phone is fine, way to many other factors for it to be your phone.

 

Not always. My cable company provides me with 50 to 60 Mbs DL speeds. I consistently get those speeds via wifi and also ethernet connections.

 

I agree. I work for a cable provider and our Gateways suck. The reach is pathetic. Same room, ok, but after that, you won't get good wifi strength. How far are you from the router when you do the test? What does your computer get? Do yourself a favor and get a N router. Just use your current Gateway modem as a bridge. I have the 50 service too and I just got 31.92 mbsp down and 11.69 mbps up on my iPhone 5. I have a standard Netgear router I got from the cable company when they were suppling them for free.

 

Most likely the problem is with the router ... Probably its support on b and g standards and i dont think its a issue cuz probably u r not downloadin movies from your phone right ? 4-8 mbps its more than enough for phone if u have the same score with your computer u definetly have to change ur router good luck

 

Yeah but we cant single out the phone. We don't know too much about the situation. Could be the phone could be the router/area.

 

Very true.

 

I assume your Gateway is a newer DOCSIS 3.0? If it's 2.0, then I think the max you get is 25 down even with a 50 service. But your phone should be getting at least 10-15 even if it was a 2.0 router.
