Ok so i have access to 1Gbps internet so i was wondering if there is a way i can use all that bandwidth efficiently, is there such a thing as a 1Gbps modem? Wireless N top speed is like 100mbps should i get a switch 1Gb, i have 4 computers and all if them will be wirelessly connected so should i her more than 1 wifi router i need suggestions thank u.

hmm.. there's a few things you have to consider...
first WiFi N tops out at roughly 300 Mbps not 100 as you think.
i think you are confusing it with the standard wired 100 Mbps networks
1 Gbps can easily be archived in a wired network, with 1 Gbps switches / routers, but 1 Gbps modems are less common, and very expensive, usually reserved for real business use only.
highest consumer based modems ADSL / Cable goes up to roughly 300 Mbps to 400 Mbps depending on country or region example http://www.motorola.com/Video-Solut...le-Modems/ci.SURFboard_SB6180_US-EN.resources
so, please clarify which ISP service you are using, as it seems very confused.
Well ISP is Triolan Ukraine they say its 1Gbps to the port which i believe its achieved by fiber optics so i don't know if they provide the modem that can give me that speed or if i don't need a modem but i have 2 laptops an 2 phones that will be downloading crap constantly during peak hours so should i buy a switch to connect both laptops through wire or can i connect 2 wwireless N routers ti a switch and use 2 WIFI networks hope this clarifies a little about the Isp

assuming they give you a proper modem that can actually use 1Gbps, then all you need is a good 1Gbps router to share that connection between your machines, then perhaps a 1Gbps switch if the router doesn't provide enough ports to share the 1Gbps
So is it possibly to connect two wireless N routers to a switch to use 600mbps of bandwidth wirelessly ?

300 Mbps on the best connection
but average best is between 270 Mbps to 280 Mbps
But if i connect 2 routers to the modem an 2 different wifi networks can i get 600mbps tops?

Providing they weren't transmitting on the same (or nearby) channels then yes, but for the sake of the speed I'd personally go for cables all over the house and having 1Gb everywhere!
Lol i am married my wife will kill me but thanks for the channel tip so will be like modem then switch then routers?

even so each laptop will still only get 300 Mbps max, due the nature of WiFi N
also in that scenario you will also need 2 modems, and 2 internet service
if you want max speed do as johncmolyneux suggested
if you want convenience of having WiFi then that's all you get
even if each laptop max out at 300 Mbps + 300 Mbps you still have lots of room left over from the 1000 Mbps
so technically you can have like 3 laptops running max speed (300 each) on WiFi N and still not max out the internet connection, downloading all the whatever you feel like on torrents

Hello,
I've just upgraded my home router, in order to speed up and future proof my home network, I've upgraded from a netgear DG834GT to a DGND3700, (mainly to add faster wifi and 1Gb ethernet).
On my old router my wifi connection from my phone was always 72Mbps. So I installed the new router and configured it to what I think is all the max settings, however my initial wifi speed on the phone was a lower 65Mps!?
After a while I realised that if I switched the phone wifi setting to max performance it would achieve 72Mbps (even though before with the older router it could always achieve this speed with this setting the other way). I'm no means an expert on wifi..etc.(clearly) can anyone explain... (please)
Another question is, what is the fastest speed anyone has had wifi running on the Desire S?
My new(ish) laptop manages to get a 300Mpbs wifi link to the new router! am I missing some configuration option?
Thanks
I've only had 72 mbps too, with a WNDR4000 -
I've tried setting the router's 2.4gHz to deliver it as fast as 300 mps or at 145 - makes no difference just 1.5 metres from the router.
I don't know if there's any way to set the Desire S to find the 5Ghz signal.
Disappointing
What do you use to check the speed ?
Edit : Also what is your normal broad band connection supposed to be?
I'm on 16 Mb line with Sky and phone pulls in at 8.21 Mbps over wifi
Just checked on WIFI settings on phone and for Sky it says 54Mbps with singal strength as excellent
i dont know much about this topic but have you tried setting the channel to auto,transmit power to 100%,turned on 802.11n?
As far as I'm aware, the Desire S is only officially wireless G protocol so 54mbps theoretical max.
However, it may be like the older HD2 which has, albeit by method of registry change, wireless N support.

I have Edimax BR-6324nL router which is Wifi-N tecnology capable, But my Inspire is unable to connect to this router if I set it up to N only. It just connect to the previous tecnologies like G at 54MBps.
When the router is set up to N only my network appear in my inspire but it just say connecting and then disconnected.
Just with this router or you don't see other N wifi neither? What radio do you have?

I haven't tried with another router, all router I have access to around here are B/G only. I have a Wireless USB adaptar that is N, So I will connect it in AP Mode, and will try with it.
I Have the Android Revolution HD 6.3.1 with the 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M Radio recomended by mike1986.
Problem solved. I tried with my USB adapter and it wasn't able to connect in N only mode. I sent an email to Edimax and they give me a solution. It was password encryption problem. N standard need the WPA2-AES to work fine. I just set the password to this standard and problem solved.
Wifi-N standard is working fine, but I just get 65/72Mbps. and signal coverage is not what I expected. it is less as what I got with my Aspen which is just B/G standard.
if anything else is connected to this router via b or g it will scale the speed down to them. Also how are you testing the speeds of your connection?
I have my N router setup for backwards compatibility and the best I connect at is 65mbps. With wireless N, speed is faster, but range is shorter, it does not penetrate walls as well, and it is more susceptible to interference. I had to move my router to a more centralized location and I have not had problems since.

Nothing else with backward standard is connected, since I have it set up to N only. But the thing is that I have more or less the same signal coverage than before when I had my Aspen which is B/G only. In any case I should have more coverage that what I had with the G standard with my Aspen, and it is practically the same or less. According with Edimax website in N standard the speed is up to 6 time and coverage up to 4 times.
The speed is showed in the Wi-Fi connection in the device. Just go to wi-fi settings and hit the active wi-fi connection and a pop-up windows will appear with the info.
But according to my research, the speed limitation to 72MB is due to the 20mhz of channel width of the Inspire. I connected a USB Wi-Fi adapter and it is at 40mhz and it connect at 135MB.
Anyway my major concern is not about connection speed is about signal coverage that is not what I expected. Anyway I will try with another wireless device to see if the speed range issue is the router or my Inspire.

I ended up having to use mixed mode on my router here at home. Was curious as to if anyone knew how to tell if I'm running (i727 AOKP right now) on 802.11n or 802.11g? I know that my macbook shows that I'm running on N, and I know that my girlfriends Dell *the reason why I have to use mixed mode* shows that she is running on G. But what is my skyrocket running on?
Thanks in advance
It supports a/b/g/n.

This is true... But as a network the radio would pick a/b/g/n as a preferred connection type.

If you go to WiFi then advance there is a option to have it use 2.4 or 5ghz....also if you long press on the WiFi connection that's active and go to edit and check show advance and scroll down it will show you link speed

So we all understand abgn is all the same frequency just different channels and packet packaging. I would recommend you use the 5ghz band if possible. As the 2.4 has push power through walls but is interfered with by anything electrical really...
Access points can only support the weakest link so if your using N on your laptop than your connected with old something using g then you will all use g

Half of this is right... abgn is not the same frequency different channels, 802.11 bgn is 2.4 and 802.11an is 5ghz, n-mode being compatible in both bands. Combined, u get an 802.11abgn radio that is capable of usage in both 2.4 and 5ghz bands.
Yes 2.4 does receive interference from CERTAIN electrical devices but its capacity is far greater than 5ghz, due to physics and the lengths of the wavelengths.

Now again i will state if you can go N only for best possible through put, what happens is your router will pick the best channels to use 2.4 or 5 and use two of them to make magic, like he said above 5ghz has better channels as they are only 20mhz wide not 40 like 2.4. So with less interference from other devices if you have a LOS then 5ghz will perform better. (hardware limitations not taken into account)
its capacity is not greater than 5ghz, you should re think your physics... think of it this way...the cable that you plug into your router/computer etc.
CAT5E cable is 100MHZ maz speed of 100/mbps
CAT6 Cable is 250mhz max speed of 1000mbps
CAT6A Cable is 500mhz max speed of 10Gbps all cables are almost the same thing...4 pairs of twisted wire the higher the frequency the greater the bandwidth (wider the highway)
see the escalation here?
As far as interference goes, microwaves, Xbxox controllers, Bluetooth, "Older" tv's with CRT, cordless phones, baby monitors, wireless security systems, ?? have i mentioned enough normal things in peoples houses? any electric "motor" such as fans for example. all interfere on the 2.4 range of frequencies.
We finally got 4g on Sprint (have HTC EVO and S3) at 21mb download and 7mb upload while best we can get DSl is still 6mb d/l 512k u/l so I am thinking hey if I add another line for $19.99 to our family unlimited plan, connect that phone to a router we have cheap and high speed networking.
I know they sell data cards with wifi etc but they charge high price and have limited data. So how can I do this? Simply and cheaply?

So, I've just spent the last few hours watching football and reading through a bunch of threads regarding WiFi connection issues with the N5. Well, here's another thread about a specific issue. I'm not seeing anything over 54Mbps connection to my Netgear R6200 with firmware V1.0.1.48_1.0.37. I'm connecting to the 5GHz SSID, I'm getting a solid 300Mbps connection on 3 other 5GHz devices (my laptop, desktop with USB WLAN adapter and the wife's laptop), my freebie Samsung Galaxy Victory is even mocking me, connecting to the 5GHz SSID at 135Mbps! The N5 just refuses to connect at anything above G speeds, nevermind AC speeds. I've done a factory reset, not restoring backed up data, I've tried disabling mobile data when connected to WiFi, I've tried every 5GHz channel, I've restarted the device, I've even tried using the 2.4Ghz SSID. Nothing. I'm about 8 fee from the router, no walls between me and it. Actually, I'm staring right at it as it sits there, chuckling at me.
Anyone have any ideas? If it's the router, then fine...should I buy the Asus to get true AC speeds from my N5? It matters to me for internal video streaming from my HDHR, and ripped blue rays, moving large files back and forth and other bandwidth-critical activities. For basic web surfing, it's not a big deal at all.
Well my N5 right now is connected at 72Mbps (2.4GHz) and 150Mbps on 5GHz, so it's not limited to 54Mbps...though why yours is I have no clue.

Yup, I tried 5GHz only. Hmmm, I may have to look into that router. The R6200 is a decent AC router though, but it would not be the first time that different manufacturers have taken different directions with a proposed standard.
Go to Wifi go to settings Uncheck Wi-Fi optimization
it will make it go faster (with a heavier battery drain)

It's certainly not the N5, I have a Netgear D6300 router and my N5 is connected at 433Mbps on the 5GHz band which seems to be the maximum link speed for the device (my HTC One also connects at 433Mbps max). My desktop and laptop connect with a max speed of 866Mbps.

Ditto. I get same results on same bands. Asus RT-N66U router.
Thanks for all the input folks. From what I'm hearing it looks like something screwy with the router and the N5 combo. Not surprising but disappointing. Was kinda hoping that some would see this and chime in with "oh, I have that router too and just changed this setting and bam!". Oh well....time to look for a new router. :fingers crossed:
Got same 433 mbps as rider Which He says should be max for our device. Thought I saw only 300 not that it makes any difference.
But Op is there a way to try connecting to some other 5ghz or same router some place else to see if it's because of the phone your router or combo of two
try 'FORGETTING' All your wifi settings, disable data, reboot
login 5g or maybe it's better to use WPS
test, good luck it worked for me
I have precisely the same problem using a Netgear R7000. My other devices connect at up to 450Mbps but my Nexus 5 won't connect above 54Mbps. Very odd. If anyone has found a solution or even an explanation I'd be happy to hear from them.
