Running TnT Lite 3.0.
I have had NO (fingers crossed) issues since my very first update of 2.0. However, I had to replace a router and did so with a new 802.11N device. I can connect to it fine - but cannot see the "N" network. I looked through the posts and do not see anything specific ( for the G Tab - tons for other devices ) - is this a known issue that I am just not find the posts on?
Like I said - that is the only issue I have had.
TIA!
Guy
Clarification
Not seeing the "N" network: I cannot see the SSID and I do have it configured properly, unfortunately the G Tab is currently my only N Capable device to test with.

unless you can assign a separate SSID for each protocol type (b/g/n) on your router, you will not "see the 'N' network"
most routers should allow you to select the protocol (e.g., b/g/n, b/g only, n only) so if all your wireless gadgets are n capable, then you can configure your router to n only
note that the gTablet only has a 2.4 Ghz wifi radio
Separate SSID
Correct - My Netgear Router does let me have a specific SSID for the N network.
Might need to look in the the frequency though.
Ugh:
Thanks for the reply - I obviously can't read or pay attention (on vacation). I can set a different SSID by frequency - not network.

as the gTablet is the only n capable device you have, you can shut down the 5.0 Ghz radio on your router...

eh... 802.11n != 5GHz. 11n is a protocol with implementations in 2.4Ghz and 5GHz. but what your equipment provides is something else again.
So it cannot use 5GHz?

Correct. 2.4Ghz only. And in North America should only be using one of the first 11 channels. Your maximum link speed will be around 72Mbps. Use software like wifi wraith or wifi analyzer to graph spectrum noise caused by other wifi devices near your location then pick the quietest channel for your network.
Is there a way to tell if the gtab is using 802.11n? Maybe properties or an app???
I installed Android Status (free from the Market). Once installed, if you press wifi, it will give you more details. If the type is greater than 56 (usually 65 or 72, which is the max for a single wireless N radio), then you're connected using wireless N.
Btw - I purchased a Linksys E4200 this morning. The gtab browser is loading pages sooooo much faster now.
I'm using a Netgear WNDR3700 and am doing some testing. It's 65 and the apps rocks, it has some nice functions. Thanks
on the netgear look for an option to enable N(may call it 130Mbps or 270 Mbps) on 2.4GHz

Thanks, it set to 300Mbps right now... I didn't know the the MHz band isn't used until talking to someone about it. I have to admit that I am not overly impressed by the WNDR3700.
i hear ya. my next router will be a buffalo with dd-wrt.

Funny you mention that because I am looking at dd-wrt and openwrt the Netgear.

One thing I noticed is that Android Status show the processor is an ARM 7 which is wrong, but I'm sure it's the app itself?
Pretty sure that's correct. Quadrant shows the same (ARM 7). Chances are neither have been updated to account for the Tegra II.
Tegra2 is cortex a9 processor. The cortex a9 is based off of arm7 architecture.
I think someone may already noticed this, that (in some case) the phone can't see the 5ghz wifi ap of the router.
The original 4.4 rom of nexus 5 had a more wildly supported channels, which disabled by google in the new update,
especially the America mode D820, it cut to only support channel 36, 40, 44, 48（maybe more）,by D821 seems better.
this happend also on GS.
I really don't know why google did kind of things like this.
So, if there is a way to fix this issue?
I remembered that in a CM mod phone, there is a option to change the channel setting, is it also possible on nexus 5 with some hidding menu or something?
I used it with 149 and 151. Been using it since day 1.

I've used channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 149, 153, 157 and 161 (the only channels available in my router at 5 GHz). All of them have worked fine on my Nexus 5.
5ghz works fine on mine
My N5 appears to connect fine to 5GHz, but, even though it reports the connection as "excellent", the phone has zero connectivity on that band. My N7, on the other hand, works great on 5GHz. This has been the case since I got the phone. I've tried without success all of the troubleshooting steps recommended in the various threads on the subject. I'm starting to wonder if it's a hardware issue.
I just solved my problem on Nexus 4, I think probably it is the same on Nexus 5. See post here:

Has anyone had trouble with connecting to 5GHz networks with the 2012 GT8010?
I've been unable to. I can see the network but always get authentication issues. This occurred with the original 4.1.2 rooms and now with omnirom after a full reset
My other devices such as a laptop and s4 have no issues...
2.4GHz is just fine even to the same router with the same security settings. Disabling security., dropping g down from ac to a doesn't help nor does switching channel

I have not had any problems personally. I'm running stock not rooted. I have heard other guys having problems though. Sorry I can't help
If you're rooted (or even just have a custom recovery) check here. Turns out that the wrong WiFi config file is being used in US-based units so 5GHz DFS channels won't always work.

thanks. interesting to see if I have issues in those files, but I am actually in the UK in any case.
I tried copying the *mfg* file to *txt* - manufacturing? default perhaps? this had cc=ALL instead of UK, but I figured why not
No difference.....
So followup question - could any UK users post their files from /system/etc/wifi/nvram_net.txt*

and yes I know the mac code is in there - skip that
Does anyone ever got more than 150 mbps rate ? I mean the connection rate between the tablet and router, not some speed test result. On 5Ghz I get 150, on 2.4GHz no more than 72 mbps. I tried 3 different routers, never got more then 150 mbps, and 60 up/60 down in speed tests.

No, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's intentionally set via the WiFi firmware; the WiFi chip is connected to the Exynos via a 50MHz bus that's 4 bits wide, so your effective thruput wouldn't ever be higher than ~180Mbit/sec anyway.
I've tried searching for this but haven't found anything. Apologies if I am doubling up though.
Anyway:
I recently got a router that can broadcast a 5GHz AC wireless channel. I set it up and got my wife's phone to connect to the 5GHz channel perfectly fine, but my OnePlus One will not even see the channel.
Weirdly though, if I switch the OPO to detect 5GHz bands only, it picks up my neighbours ac wireless, but still won't connect to mine. I've entered the details manually with no luck at all as well.
The SSID's are completely different.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm runnning Cyanogen OS 12 (12.0-YNG1TAS2I3)
phone is also rooted with TWRP 2.8.7.0

I changed the channels with no luck. It seems to refuse to connect to just my router.
So if anyone looks this up because they also had this problem: I fixed it.
Turns out this was a problem with the ROM. I switched to the CM nightly builds and it connected to my AC wireless channel fine. It also allowed me to send and receive MMS messages again, so there was clearly just something wrong with my build of CyanogenOS.
I've noticed whenever I connect to a 5Ghz network, it's complete garbage. At my house, when I connect to 2.4 Ghz I get a consistent speed of around 75mbps, when I switch to 5 Ghz, I can't get more than 20 consistent. Sometimes it works super quick for a second, and then anything I try to do, web surfing, videos, downloading apps etc.... just suddenly stop as if I have no connection and never start again.
No issues here with 5ghz - can only suggest resetting router and phone, otherwise perhaps you have a faulty handset.
Also no problems here. I find the range off the antennas great.
Did several speedtests and no drop outs.
Just got mine and AC 5ghz works great. Getting 235/23 mbs on my home internet.
I have the same issue. Inconsistent connection and slow speeds on 5ghz, only way to fix is a router restart, but then if i turn off WiFi and re-enable, the problem returns. Possible IP issue?
When I received the phone 2.4ghz was fine (110/110) but 5ghz was not (550/3).
I had to go to setting > WiFi > Advanced (in the "..." menu near the gear on the upper right corner) and uncheck Wi-Fi optimization.
Then I got 550/250mbps
Not sure if it's relevant to your problem, but you could try that.
Good point. Seem to remember something similar on the 10 too. Thanks!
You're welcome Hope it will solve your issue.
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Got a replacement handset yesterday, just to be sure that it wasn't the phone, same problem happens?!
I use a Linksys router, if the op is still on the thread, what about you? Have no issues on other 5ghz networks. Well, the other 2 that I've connected to.

I think I remember a bug with some Android phones on 5Ghz if IPv6 broadcasting was enabled in the router. Are you using this? Tried disabling it?

Thanks, i'll give that a try. I've never had this issue with any other phone, it's very odd and actually frustrating. While I can fix it at home, I wont be able to modify router settings when out and about, so if I struggle to get WiFi on the move, i'll be paying a fortune for data, which may force me to return the phone.
Just tested mine with Virgin Media router and WiFi optimisation turned on. Maxed out at 220Mbps

I'm noticing issues on a Linksys router as well. My wife's old M8 had an issue that would go away when Bluetooth was turned off.
I messed with settings tonight and it seems more stable. I just made 2.4 and 5 on SSID, and changed all band settings to Auto.

If its happening on other connected devices on your wireless network either 2.4 or 5Ghz try changing Router channels.
I've seen this happen on 2.4Ghz. Turns out since I lived in a pretty Wifi congested area the channel my router kept picking as "The best" was actually 6 and all the routers default to that channel. Literally that frequency was so bugged down my internet went from hitting 60-80Mbps down to Kbps. Wifi Analyzer showed all 12 channels were pretty full. I switched to 5Ghz only and immediately saw a difference, but the few channels I do have on my router are getting congested nowadays too.
Nowadays whenever my phones Wifi speeds hit the floor I do speedtest on other wifi devices and Ethernet speeds. If theres a significant difference I quickly use Wifi Analyzer to see if its time to switch channels.
when i got my htc u11 unlocked i had problems with the wifi not connecting at all or if it did it would disconnect. i found that there was a software update so i downloaded it on my mobile data. once installed everything started working correctly. mine will connect at 866mhz to my dlink-879 ACN router
The ivp6 thing or whatever is what I did when I got the m9, it wouldn't connect to my wifi at first and it was 5ghz

I forgot about that option. Had issues with my 10 when it came out a d that fixed it, so far it's working on my 11.
Still having issues with this. Tried above suggestions, not specified a channel, currently set to auto. My M9 and 10 have no issues holding a fast connection. Getting a bored of it now, as trying to stream Le Mans and it constantly cuts signal.
