Question file transfer speeds, usb2.0 vs wifi 6 - Asus Zenfone 9

The 90s called Asus about them returning the usb2.0 speeds, but I guess no one at the company picked the phone, and now the zenfone 9 is stuck with that.
Or maybe Asus systems designers thought, "let's keep it smaller by saving usb 3.0 or 3.1 speeds because via wifi 6e the phone is already able of doing up to 9.6gbps speeds and wifi is the future."
Can someone do some benchmarks on wifi 6, by locally transferring some big files, and post their results? This is kind of an important factor to know for people who are thinking of shooting many 8k videos, or (what I am thinking of) edit 360 videos via insta360 app, and then being able to transfer large files to the pc.
usb2.0 to transfer those large files is a deal breaker, absence of sd card slot with good speeds could be an alternative, but no: We are left with the wireless options that, theoretically, are the answer but in practice I'd like to see some tests.
Thanks!

All Xiaomi devices even with 12S Ultra also only USB 2.0, OnePlus 10T and even iPhone 14 for example. There are more devices with old spec USB than you might think.
Back to the wifi transfer. I only have wifi 6. Using Asus file transfer and I got about 20 MB/s.
Maybe there is a better way but for now that's what I got

be sure to turn on dual band wifi to maybe get your wifi to hit a gigabit.

[Q] Usb Wireless Dongle/adapter

In light of all the recent wifi issues with the Asus Transformer Prime. I got thinking.. Would it be possible for the prime to theoretically use a USB wifi dongle as the receiver through the keyboard dock?
Obviously android since gingerbread has had USB hosting and the ability to use mice, keyboards, game controllers and other devices, but how about a USB wireless networking adapter?
Thoughts?
Interesting thought and I have no idea... For average use wifi suffices but might be a nice option when going to a place where wifi is crap (like vacation house or something).
Iwas thinking the samething. The question is would there be driver issues with the USB device?
Not quite yet
If you are simply talking about a Wireless N Wifi dongle, there would be little gain, While not the best, a properly functioning Prime gets reasonable WiFi performance. Witness mine, which I regularly see 15-20 Mbit downloads speeds, so not great, but certainly acceptable.
If insetad you want a 3G wireless stick, at the present this is not an option. Honeycomb and even ICS do not provide support for these natively, though a rooted device I believe can be made to work with 1 or 2 3G sticks. When talking 3G, the best move is just root your phone and tether to that, but watch to 300 Mb game downloads folks. AT&T will make your head spin with the $ if you go over the measly 2 Gb plan (I was grandfathered in on an "Unlimited' data plan, and lost it... no biggie, they still bust you if you repeatedly use high bandwidth.
Good evening
I was wondering if there is any other thoughts on using a USB WiFi dongle with the prime. The reason I ask is that I note several retailers are starting to get stock in the UK and I am on the verge of purchasing.
The only issue I have is the WiFi range issue as I work on an offshore oil rig which has a WiFi network and I can currently use this within my cabin on a night with my net book to surf the net. However as there are a fair few partitions and a good distance etc between the WiFi router and the cabins, I don't think the Primes WiFi range would be sufficient (based on others posting issues when they are trying to pass through a few walls).
If a USB WiFi dongle could be made to work i would buy a prime tomorrow, otherwise I think I am going to stick with the net book for a while longer and wait for another model / manufacturer with Tegra 3 (I really don't want to follow the crowd and get an Apple!)
Many thanks!

Should knlw what that could be a good idea. THERES a guy in developement thread named Saturnde. He has made a thread called new or added drivers or something. He compiled a list of new drivers into a zip file for support of new USB devices that aren't normally supported by prime. He said if you want drivers for a particular device tl let him know. He will need name of device n model number or something. Won't hurt to run it past him and see if its feasible or possible. Let us know how it goes.

Slow usb transfers 16gb rooted

Anyone else having extremely slow transfer speeds?? Im seeing usb 1.0 speeds. I've tried switching cables, ports, everything. Here's a screen cap.
how big was the original file? the nook usb cable is known to be a usb 1.0.cable. I've used a usb 2.0 cable and I have noticed speeds increase. if u are tranferring a file that's 1+ GB then speeds will be more or less the same.

I've tried switching to my cable for my Evo but it didn't make much of a difference. The file is about 200mb, nothing huge... For now I'm ejecting the microsd and using a usb card reader but its pretty irritating.
I uploaded 60 Mb and 70 Mb video files fast, but when tried to transfer lot of pictures with all small size, the transfer almost took hours, so I guess the transfer of a big file will do fine, but for lot of small files, will take longer.
What I haven't tried is thru wifi transfer, will update later.
I find it hard to believe that everyone else has the same transfer speeds. Is it possible that its my nook?

You're not the only one - same goes for me 16GB rooted. I mean slow is putting it nicely. It would top out at 2/3 MB/s and fall way below 700kb - eventually settling in at 40-80kb/s. 5 days to transfer 10GB! Now I don't even bother. Just take the card out and put it in my card reader on the PC and transfer. I couldn't do this while I was on holiday however with a laptop with no SD card slot, so it was extremely frustrating.
Same here , but normaly my speed is about 40-80kbit. It takes ages to copy something

Yeah, I bought a usb sdcard reader and use that when I don't have access to my laptop. Or I transfer via wifi with ftp from my home server. It would be nice to find the problem though. Did anyone have this problem pre-rooting their device?
My numbers:
1.4.0 rooted
SanDisk Mobile Ultra 16GB Class 6
Two different "Nook" cables.
Large file (600MB video)
USB - 4.5 MB/sec
Wifi - 3.75 MB/sec
Small files (1-4MB jpg)
USB - 2.5 MB/sec
Wifi - 1.2 MB/sec
My experience has been that if something else is running on the Nook it can slow everything else down.

Define something else. Usually the only thing I have running in the background is andchat.
not sure if this will make a difference but there is an app on the market.. sd card speed booster (or something.. search it) i changed the value from 128 to 1024.. now getting write speed of ~10Mbps while transferring big files via stock cable..
btw i am on cm7.. and i also use teracopy for windows..
Oh yes forgot to mention i have 16gb class10 transcend microsd (ultimate) card
Haha, I only have a class 4 sd card. So that can be some of the issue. I also have started using SwiFTP. I get around 2-3 MB/s transfers with it and I don't have to unplug my nook cable from the wall. So it's a win win sort of thing now.
Same problem. Even if I use the Wifi transfer mode and put data in nook's internal memory or the sd card, the speed never goes beyond 3mbps. :-/

bad wifi strength on M8S PRO

I recently purchased a M8S PRO as my android tv box. I upgrade [purchased it] specifically because it supports 5ghz and i thought the wifi would perform better.
However whether Im streaming with the browser or even playing movies off my nas i have latency issues
I believe this is due to the internal wifi chip because i also have a nvidia shield tablet which has none of these issues even if i put it in the same location as the M8S PRO
Should I buy a range extender or a new wifi dongle for it (like this one)?
Does Android support more then one wifi adapter? Will i be able to disable the internal one?
Or should i try a custom rom (i dont see how this will help but maybe im wrong about it being a hardware issue)?
Try various configuration in your router, you can try 20 or 40 mhz bandwidth, maybe disable legacy modes and use AC only, I had issues before with 5Ghz when legacy modes were enabled like A B or G. let me know, as I just purchased this box and im still waiting for it. , also you can check the 2.4GHz band.
regards.
screw these dam things
as far as i can tell the wifi chip in this thing sucks
i put the dam thing right next to the router and its still horrible
topping out at 400-500 kb/s on lan transfers over a minimum presence 5ghz wifi
sorry for late reponse, i was loading lede onto my router and trying other things to fix the issues i have with this device playing items across the lan (via samba)

Very dissapointed with USB transfer speed.

I've been testing the usb transfer speed for the Mi8 using several computers with USB 3.0 and 3.1 and I'm very disappointed.
Transfering a large 3GB video file takes 95 seconds. That's around 32MB/s.
This is as slow as my six years old mobile.
Is there any setting to boost that speed?
Or is it really so bad?
I expected at least a USB 3.0 speed on this "state-of-the art" Xiaomi phone.
On the other hand the dual GPS is not working as expected yet. They advertise it but it but it's accuracy is very bad.
None of the Xiaomi devices uses USB 3(.1).
And there are gps issues for some users, you can read everywhere.
Both of them are known things.

Yes, that's why I'm disappointed.
The USB doesn't have solution. (I expected at least USB 3.0)
The GPS we hope it has a solution soon.

Hard drive

God morning from the Philippines! This is about file transferring. when it comes to transferring files on and to a hard drive and otg usb it takes too long than normal or than my other devices (samsung c9 pro an old model and huawei nova 3i). I needed to know or wanted to know if those who have updated their poco has resolved this issue and if not. If there will be an update to upgrade the transfer speed. Mine is not rooted. Not updated. All stocks from the box. Thank you!

I am on 9.3.7 and the file transfer speed to/from pc,otg is still slow

I noticed it too. While using a portable HDD(2 TB) for transferring files, transfer speeds were very low 200-500 kBps but when I used a simple pen drive (32 GB) I was getting standard USB 2.0 speeds around 5 to 9 mBps. A point to know that the HDD I used DIDN'T have any external power and used the power from the usb port for driving itself. Maybe our phone isn't sending enough power through the USB port that's necessary for driving a portable HDD. I don't have any HDD that needs external power to work, so I can't test it. If I can get my hands on one, I'll post the results here.
