Can't pick up wifi network...PLEASE HELP - Asus Transformer TF700

I just purchased a dual band router because I have to use the 5.0 wifi channel in my apartment due to interference. My galaxy S3 picks up the channel but my tablet doesn't.
Is there any antenna mod/hack that I can due to pick up that signal? Any suggestions would help because it sucks not being able to use the internet when at home.
I am rooted and running Hairybean now but am open to any other roms also if that leads to fixing the problem.
Thanks!

Unfortunately the transformer series don't support the 5GHz band frequency channels. You are stuck with 2.4 I'm afraid.

Did you try using different channels? There are apps that show what channels are being used near you. Try to find one for your phone to see if there are any channels not being used.

Wireless Data Network
WLAN 802.11 b/g/[email protected]
IEEE 802.11a is the 5Ghz band. No 5Ghz band = No detecting 5Ghz signals.
As for the interference, you could try using a signal amplifier/repeater. Or moving your router (I've had to, there's iron framing inside the concrete walls.) to a point where the signal isn't blocked. If the interference is coming from other flats, try lining the wall with aluminum foil. (You can put wallpaper over it)
Also, use InSSIDer (PC) or an App to find out the channels used by surrounding networks, and change your channels to empty or less-used ones.

[Q] G2X and Wireless N

Has anyone been able to successfully connect to 802.11n? I have a Cisco Linksys E3000 Advanced Dual-Band Wireless-N Router and my laptop connects to N without issue. My G2x has no issue finding my G band and connecting to it, but the N isn't even detected. I'm not filtering by MAC address and the N band has plenty of ip's available in the DHCP pool. Additionally, Other devices can connect to the N band without issue. I saw someone had mentioned something about wireless N previously, but I can't find the post anymore.

I am the one having this issue also, but mine is with my dual band Time Capsule..Is there a setting somewhere how to activate the N on our phones?????
bueller? I'm just Curious. Seems we both are using Dual band routers. Anyone running strait 802.11n at home or the office?
Mine only saw my G band, not the N on my dual-band Linksys.

i am and its connected and blazing fast good luck guys belkin
I just double checked a few spec sheets, just to make sure, but this is what they all say...
Connectivity
Bluetooth:Yes
Wi-Fi: Yes (802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n)
So I'm fairly certain I'm not all hopped up on crazy pills like Mugatu. Is it possible this feature is disabled like the FM radio?
working here - dlink dir655 connected over N.
Wireless N works perfect here, using, umm, no idea what router my office uses
I'm able to connect to wireless n router also a dlink.

nope its not picking up my wireless N band on my dual router (vizio), I think its more a froyo thing than anything
my mytouch wouldnt pick it up either, until I ran 2.3.3
Mine won't connect when I set my wifi (asus rt-n12 w/ dd-wrt) to wireless-n only. My nexus one had no problems with this.
I have a Netgear WNR3500L and set to 300Mbps.
Phone can only connect up to 72Mbps.

I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT400N and all the phones (Nexus One-Super AOSP 2.3.3, G2-CM7 Nightly #40 2.3.3 and G2X Rooted Froyo 2.2.2) connect fine. Only when I was changing kernels or something did I ever have an issue.

At most our phones can theoreticaly connect at 150 mbps, to do more than that you have to have dual band antenas inside of the phone which I don't know if there are any phones that even do that.
The phone does only 2.4 ghz N not 5 ghz N so check your routers to see what bands its using. Also 5 ghz N can go up to 300 mbps and 2.4 ghz N only goes up to 120 i believe.

It definitely supports N. I have a dual band router and my 2.4ghz radio was running 802.11G/802.11N and my G2X in Speedtest would hit 30mbps down and 20mbps up.
With JUST 802.11G the G2X maxes at 15mbps down and 10mbps up.
I've left the radio on 802.11G since it for some reason seems to take less battery and 15mbps is good enough for me right now
I'm connecting to my DIR 655 with no problems. What is everyone using to see what speed it's connecting at and whether it's connecting through B,G or N. I am showing a link speed of 65 mbps under network settings.
Linksys Dual Band N Router
Hmmm, I was looking up a problem I am having connecting to my Linksys Wireless N router and found this thread.
I am having the same issue... Can't connect at home over N, but connect at work over G with no issues.
Also I called TMobile a few days ago (had to return my original phone for another problem), but when we were trying to troubleshoot and I mentioned I had problems connecting at home, he asked if I had a Linksys wireless N router. I didn't think about it at the time until I saw this...
UPDATE:
Nothing I tried in these forums worked for me but I tell you what did. Using my old D-Link b, g router. Set this up and connected in no time, no disconnecting, no issues.
Working For me - fix is here
I had the same problem.
It wont show 5ghz / n by default.
First goto settings>wifi settings screen . click on menu and click advanced settings > Uncheck the wifi optimization.
And then scan networks. you should be able to find your n network.

802.11n 5GHz band NOT supported

Looks like the 5GHz band of Wireless-N is NOT supported. Why would Moto drop support for this? Looks like another step backwards. Does anyone think this could be turned on via software? I know the EVO 4G had it's entire Wireless-N radio disabled by HTC out the gate and it was re-enabled via software by XDA Devs.

I believe that they used the Wilink 7.0 chipset which would have 5ghz support. However it's my guess they didn't want to include a 5ghz antenna for size and cost. Just my guess but I doubt seriously the Razr will work 5ghz if this turns out to be the reason. The Wilink 7.0 chipset allows for all comm on one chip and no external GPS chip with lower power.
I went 2.4 N on my router so it goes through walls better. 5ghz would not have had the range I needed

[Q] 5Ghz wifi

Hi,
how can I see if I am connected at 2.4 or 5ghz?
I saw here http://support.google.com/ics/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2375489 how to enable it, but with Cybergr rom I don't have such option.
Is it a limitation of the rom?
Or is it automatic?
Or could the option be somewhere else?
Other ways to see it?
Thanks
I have a simultaneous dual-band router at home, and the Nexus S only sees the 2.4GHz network. Hardware limitation, I suppose.

That's exact, 5GHz isn't supported. Only 2.4GHz.
I read that its bcm chip supported 5ghz, if it doesn't work perhaps it's missing an appropriate antenna.

[Q] can't see the 5GHz signal

hi you all
I used to connect the 5GHz wi-fi network at home on my ipad, i just bought my new xperia z3 in israel... but the phone can't see the 5GHz signal, I'm using 2.4GHz instead. But my ipad can still see 5GHz signal and connect without any problems. The channels on 5GHz signal is 161 by the way.
So what might be the problem within my Sony Xperia Z3?
Thanks in advance.
Try setting the router to a lower channel. My router is set to 48 and the Z3C connects just fine.
By the way, channels from up 100 are not allowed to be used in Israel anyways (if I'm informed correctly)...
That could be why, is it possible the phone knows where it is and has certain channels disabled to comply with local law

can't find all 5GHz wifi networks?

Hey all,
I can only find 1/10 of the 5GHz wifi networks. Does anyone else have this issue?
Greets,
swa100
I've tried it with 4 other galaxy s6's now and all of them can find only 1 5ghz network in my building, whilst all the routers are the same. Other phones like n5 or galaxy s4 work on all the 5ghz routers.what is up with the wifi chip in the galaxy s6?
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
The problem seems to be that the galaxy s6 only works on 5ghz networks that are on channel 36. How is 5ghz wifi working for you guys?

FWiW, my S6 connects to my Netgear Extender on 5G ch 153, extending the range of my new Comcast 5G/2.4G Arris modem-router, also to my SM-P605V and this tablet. The Arris router is now on 5G default ch 36, but I see no reason to move it. 5G is empty here. I did move the 2.4G channel to get away from some neighbors. I use the WiFi Analyzer app to sniff the neighborhood 2.4G before picking the channels I want to use. HTH. YMMV.
