Hi, most reviews I've read online says it has 5ghz wifi, but I can't connect to my router via 5ghz wifi. The online manual downloaded from samsung Canada's website also says there is 5ghz (on pg. 101). My note 10.1 can't even see 5ghz wifi ssid. I know that my 5ghz wifi is working good because both my Acer laptop and LG O4X can connect to the 5ghz wifi. Is 5ghz wifi only available on certain models? I have GT-N8010 32gb wifi only model from Canada.
Yes all models have 5ghz not tested it though may be some issues with the settings
FWIW, I can see my 5GHz 802.11n router at home, but sometimes the detection is sporadic.
I can't see 5ghz wifi at all on my note 10.1. I even tried setting it up manually and it just says not in range. Is there some setting on my note 10.1 to turn on 5ghz wifi or is it broken?
5ghz is a relatively new technology I do not see there being any specific setting for that like I said never used but to there are couple of things you can try switch only 5ghz band on ur router and try setting it up close to the router and the band has one draw back and that is the range of signals.
Can you connect any other device on 5ghz and have to tried to connect it to another router with 5ghz bandwidth
5 GHZ Wifi
I am using 5GHz Wifi on my Note 10.1.....
i have an ac66r and have no problems connecting. the range sucks though. it also doesnt give me the extra speed boost i see on my laptop. the laptop only has n150.
My router is working fine. I'm able to connect to 5 ghz wifi with my laptop and my LG Optimus 4x. The signal is strong on both. I tried putting my note 10.1 without any case beside the router and still no 5 ghz wifi. I can connect to 2.4 ghz wifi fine. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Try changing the channel the router is using. Have you flashed firmware from a different region? Because some countries use different wifi channels than others.
I'm on stock rom, not rooted and haven't flashed with any other rom. It looks like that my 5ghz wifi is on channel 149. What 5ghz wifi channels can the note 10.1 use?
According to http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels that channels should be fine. Must be some other problem then.

I live in the USA and have a GT-N8013. The 5GHz wi-fi worked day 1, right out the box. I didn't have to do any special setup. Yesterday I upgraded to JB and it's still working fine.
My router's 5GHz access point is set to use WPA2-PSK [AES] with channel 153. I changed to that channel based on a recommendation from the Wi-fi Analyzer app. It wasn't necessary to change the default channel used by my router in order for the Note to see the AP or connect.
Maybe your Note is defective?
Is there a test to determine if it's a hardware issue? My 2.4 ghz wifi works fine. Are the 2.4 and 5 ghz wifi on separate wifi cards?

It actually predates 2.4GHz WiFi.
i use channels 44 + 48. decided on these when my GS2 failed to find the higher channels.
so it is probably limited like the phones to use the more common ranges.

Find some one with another 5ghz wifi network and if your note see it then the problem is your router. If it doesn't see it either then try a factory reset. Ultimately return for warranty.

Ya 802.11a was 5ghz.
5Ghz
At my duaghters school she can only see/connect to the 5.0Ghz wifi in the lower bands/channels. I raised this with Samsung and their official response was that 5Ghz was not supported. See below. Its obviously not as absolute as thier statement as we are connect to some 5Ghz wifi routers - has anyone found the same.

Dear Richard,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
I have followed up on your enquiry and have found that the Galaxy Tab Note 10.1 (GT-N8010) does not support 5Ghz WiFi Frequency band.
I apologise for any inconvenience.
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.

As long as i know, only the 8013 model can use 5 gz... as i read in Htcmania, a site from Spain.
"Modelo GT-N8013, es solo WIFI pero opera en dos bandas las de 2´4 Ghz (España, China...) y las de 5 Ghz (paises de países Arabe´s, de EE.UU...)"
Translate: model gt 8013 only wifi but operates in two ranges: 2.4 gz ( Spain, China, etc) and 5 gz ( for arabs countries Usa, etc.)
My Note 10.1 has actually done better on my 5Ghz network. On the 2.4Ghz network I was getting weird disconnects, inability to route traffic even though it showed connected, etc. Now that I'm on the 5Ghz side, I have not had a single problem in about 3-4 weeks.

Just got my nexus 5? Yes. Activated? Yes. LTE? No. Im on sprint and have no idea why my Samsung Galaxy S4 had LTE yet the Nexus 5 cannot get it, just 3G throughout entire area even though my area has all 4G for months. Is there any solutions or known issues as of yet why on Sprint the LTE is not being recognized? Thank you for any help!

Make Sure you change Mobile Network settings to LTE that is what solved the issues with LTE on mine. The Switching only occurs when you make or receive phone calls or send or receive a text message on a tower that has not been updated yet.
Hi just wondering out there how many ppl in general with the note edge are getting low 4g or lte signals. Recently just got mine and my signal is real low between 1-2 bars sometime in the city where 4g is strong i still get 1 or 2 bars. If I compare it to my old phone I'm getting full reception and real 4g speed. Not sure if it just my phone or is it a common problem everyone else has. Any feedback wil be good. I am in Australia on the telstra network. My edge is N915G running on baseband ANK4.
Same issue i think
I have the SM-N915S model from Korea and i am in The Netherlands on T Mobile.
My note 3 works on 4G yet when i install same sim card into Note Edge i dont get 4G (Or LTE as its called on phone)
I am wondering if its because the network frequency in Korea is 850/900/1800/2100 and Netherlands is 800/1800/2600??
There is also no option to make it automatically switch between the 2. It only has the option for LTE or 3G.
I am also wanting to know if rooting the phone would enable the access?
Is there a way to root the phone and turn it into the SM-N915Y model for Europe in the hope this will fix the issue?
I am new to this and studying up on rooting phones.
Any help would be appreciated...
i am hearing it is a known issue with the Note Edge across all platforms. I am suffering from the same thing.
Hey all,
I can only find 1/10 of the 5GHz wifi networks. Does anyone else have this issue?

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?

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.

I'm facing slow lte speed on my s6. I'm using reliance jio in India and it support only lte network. When I checked the speed using ookla the speed ranges from 100kbps to 1 mbps in my s6. Im using galaxy s6 g920f purchased from UAE and now it runs on nemesis 7. 0 s7e port os. My friends using j7, moto e4 are getting good speeds ranges from 10mbps to 20mbps at the same place. I inserted my sim in other phobes and the speed is very high. So the problem is not with the sim or operator. The APN is also same as theirs. Can anyone help me to troubleshoot the issue? What might be the issue? thanks in advance
