I have a Time Capsule and I have a/b/g/n enabled. I just purchased an iPhone 5 and my wife has the iPhone 4S. I noticed that my speeds in wifi seemed slow. I decided to run some speed test using speedtest.net app. The results have all been the same. The iPhone 4S gets 7.0-8.5 MBS down on my 10MB connection while the iPhone 5 only gets 1.0-2.0MBS. I have tried several different servers and the results are still the same. I verified that both of the phones are connected the same way. Anyone else have the same issue?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 5 vs iPhone 42 WiFi Speed Tests

I have noticed the same issue on my wifi network, but I did not have the issue on a friend's wifi network (where the iPhone 5 was faster). The issue may be specific to certain routers and/or router settings. I intend to perform more testing tomorrow.
Make sure both devices are using the same server in the SpeedTest.net app. Mine were different at first and they had drastically different results. After I selected the same servers, they were still different but much closer.
BTW, I tested my iPhone 5 against a new iPad. I am too lazy to go check on my wife's iPhone 4... Maybe in the morning.

I made sure I was using the same servers and then tried several different servers and the results are the same. I also tried my iPad2 with iOS6 and it had the same results as my wife's iPhone 4S with iOS5. I will try other networks tomorrow.
Yes I noticed right away that I have iPhone 42 in the title instead of iPhone 4S. I am sure you will find a lot more wrong with my post then that. Have fun, but still interested in solving the issue with the WiFi.
You have to open your NAT settings for it. Go to your port forwarding tab in your router and type in your phones IP address. That should fix ur problem.
