[Q] 5ghz Wirless Band

Hi, I was just wondering if the tf300 is capable of using wireless N on the 5ghz frequency, or if like the Prime, it can only use 2.4ghz? Can anyone confirm that it does or doesn't work?
Thanks

Under advanced Wifi settings for the TF300 you have "Auto, 5Ghz only and 2.4 Ghz only"
judging by this I'd say it works on 5Ghz, so you're in luck ;D

Oh man that's very good to hear. I assume you are on a custom ROM and am wondering if it is just an option on it, because the Asus website specs for the TF300 says "WLAN 802.11 b/g/[email protected]". Did you see this same option on the stock ROM?
Can anyone on the forum who is still on the stock ROM confirm this option under wifi advanced settings?
Fingers crossed

I can't find that option I'm on stock rom, but I'm also only connected to a 2.4 ghz network. I do see advanced wifi but its greyed out.

Im on stock ROM, .29US rooted....I have looked under advanced WiFi and see no option to select 5Ghz. Damn, I wanted it too

Q: wifi speeds problems

Hello, i havent had this for long but im noticing lag while on wifi. I watch movies and youtube and the connection sucks. Im still not sure if i will keep it because if not i would root it and flash a custom rom and kernel but just wondering if this is common with this tablet of maybe its just my connection. My link speed is 54Mbps so it shouldnt be a problem

54mpbs itsn't really that high, your practical output is more near 2-3mbits.
I have 300mbits and i can easily stream full hd from my nas to my tf300t and tf300tg. Tried to set the pad to full speed?

Yeah i turned up to performance. With my cell i never have problems and there are times where the speed is fine on the laptop. I havent had to increase my Internet Speed
Dont know

Does your WiFi suck too?

This is my second Asus tablet. I still have a TF101 that I've used for the past 16 or 17 months that had this same problem. That problem is WiFi connectivity. As I type this I'm sitting about five feet from my router and have, at maximum, a 19Mbps WiFi connection on the TF700. I've seen it as low as 5Mbps.
I can't even stream HD Youtube videos on this tablet without it buffering literally every 3 seconds of playback. And that's five feet from the router. Meanwhile, my Galaxy Nexus will play the same video in HD from multiple rooms away with no pauses for buffering.
I've read complaints in the past about Asus tablets and their connectivity issues, but I was under the impression that this has been resolved with the plastic strip at the top of the device.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

No issues for me. I stream from my pc at about 30 feet away and still dont experience these issues. I have fios. and my speeds are pretty damn good.

I'm on a 24Mbps internet connection, so I know that's not the issue. And as I said, my Nexus streams everything just fine. This is really frustrating...

Your issue sounds like it's all you. The WiFi has vastly improved since the TF201.

None with mine.

Way way better than my tf201. With YouTube I have a better connection on the web than I do with the app.

Absolutely no issues!!! Loving it!

Nope, mine is actually running better than my nexus. Getting 22meg download speeds on my T700, Galaxy Nexus, just a tad less. Was constantly getting buffering on my TF201 but not the TF700. I am about 30 feet from my router.

Workin' good here
Steady good connection thru a coupla walls...

Mine is fairly consistent, no drops, but not the best speeds. I have a 50mbps connection but can only get about 25mbps down on the Infinity. My Galaxy Note gets much better speeds because I can utilize the 5ghz spectrum on it.
I know - quit complaining.... lots of people would love to get 25mbps download speed

What keeps me happy is that I can now watch You Tube with no lag or buffering at all. Never could do that with the prime.

I am using WPA2-PSK encryption and my wifi is awful compared to my laptop.
I have 90-95Mbit/s on average on my laptop while my tf700 gets between 15-25Mbit/s.
So no, it's not just you!

Again - this does not indicate a problem - the wifi in the Infinity is not supposed to be as fast as the wifi in your laptop! The max speed of the wifi hardware in the Infinity is 65mbps (actually, I've read one report of someone getting up to 72Mbps), but most laptops have 300Mbps wifi cards.
Of course it's not going to be as fast as your laptop.... Has to do with the number of antennas, etc...

Ok, so then it's my bad for thinking that a premium tablet would have decent wifi hardware. But now I know better!

Where would you need any more speed than that in tablet use?
Even if you downloaded some bigass 'linux distros' using torrents, wlan technology is least of your concerns to get same speeds than desktop/laptop.
I have 200mbit internet connection and i wouldnt even think needing 1/4 of it for tablet
For OPs question: Havent tested my speeds yet but signal is excellent even from htc sensation tether!

To answer the OP's question: Yes the wifi speed does suck, but apparently that's to be expected on tablets.

It does not "suck" - it's appropriate for the devices expected usage. There is a big difference.

I have a Linksys E4200 and i am outside of my house, by the water, about 60-70 feet away from my router and i get one bar, but that more than enough for streaming HD videos on youtube and 1080p videos off my NAS without lag. So yes, this issue sound specific to you and since you've had the same with your tablet, im guessing it's youre router.
Change channels? dont thinl it'll do anyhting but youve got nothing to lose

Does TF700T Support 3G USB Modem?

I had been waiting for this tf700t for 4 months and it's finally arrived but not the 3G version. I am out of patience now and thinking about buying a tf300tg unless tf700t supports 3g USB modem. Does it support? What would I miss if bought tf300 instead? Help please. I am about to get crazy!!! :banghead:

Or a way of using 3G on this tablet anyway?

I use my cell phone's 3G connection in tether mode - as a modem for my TF700T.

That's what I thought to do but unfortunatly my phone doesn't support 3G, only edge. So I startded searching for other ways.

You could always get a MiFi device. In case you don't know its a very small modem which takes a 3G SIM and then acts like a wifi hostspot. You can connect up to 5 devices to the 3G network with it. So if your phone has wifi you can connect that as well as your tablet and laptop etc.

Now, that is the best solution for such a condition. Thanks for the hint and enjoy your TF700T :good:

i'm using this device, it works great, even supports HSPA+ and is quite affordable in comparison to other similar devices:

if you have the asus USB adapter you can even charge the mifi device through the tablet

Thanks but the thing is, i can't find most of these nice tools in Turkey. So I'll try to do my best with the available options.

Actually, if you look at that website and select your region at the top of the page, Turkey is listed and has a link for it.

Yeah I saw that and tried but i couldn't find a clear adress for a "Huawei Shop". That's why i said that. But I'll try my chances to find it.

I'm using a Huawei E586 wireless 3G modem as well. Best thing I ever bought. Turn it on leave in pocket or bag and you have 3G wireless connectivity everywhere you go.

Hi sbdags,
How do you find the battery life with your E586.

Pretty good mate. I think it's rated for 6 to 7 hours of continuous use. It's not run down on me during a day of use. It shows you the usage on the screen so I can track how much I am using a month as well.

[Q] is it or would it be possible to use a 3G dongle with the TF700T?

Hello everybody,
On my previous tablet a TF101 (which belong now to my wife) with Megatron ROM
I used a 3G dongle on some places without wifi. Works very well, the tablet act as a phone.
Any chance to have the same possibility with the TF700T on some ROM?
Cheers

It seems that some dongles work on the Infinity. I am not sure where, maybe on the Asus forum I read about it. Will do some research as soon as I reach my PC.

Check this thread out, I think it would be helpful to you

Use a 3G or 4G mifi device instead. You put your simple in it and it connects wirelessly over wifi. Works beautifully. You can connect up to 5 devices at on time too. I use a Huawei e583

Tethering from your phone or using one of those 4G hotspots would be a lot easier.
