Wifi issues

I just got my 7.0 and love it but the wifi keeps disconnecting. It'll reconnect but it messes up my downloads. Does his seem to be a problem with the 7.0 or did i just get a bum model?

did you updated your tab?
Try removing n/w and re enter wep/wpa key...
It should work

As i know their are some problem with routers with 5 ghz channels so try the 2.4 ghz channel and see if the condition resolved also try a different channel to broadcast by you router as channel 8 or 13 etc and see if connection improved or not if you could try it with different router and different connection as in your friend connection to see if connection still drops or not if still drops then return with warrany if no warrany may be you could think about flashing modem files by odin but i think it needs somewhat experienced users and may void warrany

Slow Downspeed on Note 10.1

I have a fiber optic internet connection at home and on my desktop PC I get download speeds of 80mbps+ however when I do a speed test on my note 10.1 I am lucky to get a downspeed on 3mbps. Does anyone have any ideas why this is and how to improve it?
I am in the UK and have the N8010 model.
Many thanks.

Its likely something with your router. Check the signal strength and channel.maybe a firmware upgrade on the router .are you connection to a/b/g/n all of the above will effect speeds and reliability.
Also is your PC hard wired.? If so you know it will be much faster there is far less overhead data tagging along.I do not think its the device
Good luck

Thanks for the response. My router in running on Wireless N. Yes my PC is hard wired however im still getting at least a 50mbps downspeed on my Windows laptop via the wireless. I just figure it's something to do with the network card inside the Note?

I do have some problems connecting to certain networks with my tablet as well. Maybe there's some problem with wifi drivers in the galaxy note I'm guessing. Hopefully it'll be fixed in JB.

One thing you can try is changing the encryption and/or privacy standard (WEP and so on) since some of them isn't supported by "dumb" devices and I suspect some of them are supported but are so advanced it affects the performance.

Hi,
I had the same issue.
I solved setting the ip address to static (not dhcp) in wifi settings.
Now i get 20 mbits+ (consistent with my G router capabilities)

Go to settings.
Select wifi
Long press on your connection.
Press modify connection
Now select ip settings and change to static
Now change your IP to an address outside of dhcp range and your done.
If dhcp is 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.100 set your tab to 192.168.1.101
You can also change your routers dhcp range to 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.15 and set your tab to ..16
Your numbers may be different, but same method.

Skyrocket Wifi 5Ghz

Hey all,
i am having some issues with my 5Ghz wifi and my skyrocket. First I will list all the information I have.
Skyrocket i727.
Roms I have tried to connect with - Embryo 7 Cymbaline and stock kernel ; Beanstalk 1.30 v.1. with mortez and marla. No luck.
Router - Linksys WRT320N - not a dual band. either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
Open dd-wrt firmware on the router.
Wireless settings - N only (5Ghz) - 40mhz wide channel - lower - channel 52 + 54.
Security - WPA2 personal with AES encryption.
i have tired many things to get this wifi to connect on my skyrocket. I have tried switching to wirelss A and N. No luck. I have tried using on 20 Mhz wide channel. No luck. I have also tried taking Security off completely with Wireless N 5Ghz and no luck there either. Only way I can get it to connect is using 2.4 ghz. I know the skyrocket supports 5Ghz because there is an option for 5Ghz only within advanced wireless settings.
Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Have you tried it with stock? Also try scanning the channels with WiFi analyzer. They have an app that might help you connect.

No I haven't tried it with stock. I do have WiFi analyzer installed and everything seems to work fine on the router end. I'm getting fantastic speeds on my laptop and my friends s4 connect instantly and gets great speeds as well. So I know its not the router settings. I have considered stock Though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

But when you use Wi-Fi analyzer on the skyrocket, does the phone "see" the router. Have you tried restarting the router with nothing connected to it, and connecting the skyrocket first?
Edit: Try using different channels as well. Not sure exactly what channels the skyrocket can see in 5 GHz mode.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah it sees the channel on WiFi analyzer. I've tried channels 40,42 ,149 and many others. It seems to have a problem authenticating the WPA2 key. But, going by that logic, leaving the network open would solve the problem. But it doesn't. Still can't connect on 5ghz when there is no security. So, I'm thinking Its a custom kernel problem or the hardware is failing. Not sure which.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I would say try another router someone else you know has that has 5ghz and using stock router firmware. Are you on the latest dd wrt?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah the latest as of like march 2013 I believe.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I am using a linksys e4200 dd-wrt build 22000
Here are some of the settings I use:
Basic settings:
wireless channel : 153 - 5.7654 GHz
Channel Width: 20MHz
Wireless Security:
Security Mode: WPA2 Personal
WPA Algorithms: AES
Advanced Wireless Settings: shown if different than default
CTS Protection Mode: Disable
Preamble: short
TX Power: 66 (lower than default)
Afterburner: enabled
You might try playing with the TX power setting since the default (for my router) is the same as the 2.4 GHz default and is to high for the 5 GHz band.

Well. I tried those settings but still a no go. I think its a problem with the 5ghz on my phone. Maybe I need to go back to stock JB. Not likely though. I resolved the issue by using two routers anyway. One for 2.4 and one for 5. Works perfect so far. Thanks for everyone's help and Input.

What router are you using (with ac wireless)

I'm planing on changing my router for a new one that has ac wireless. Before I RMA my nexus 5 for that damn WiFi drop issue I thought it was time to try a New router but I would like to know who has a router with ac wireless and if you have any WiFi drop. So very easy.
Router manufacturer make and model.....
WiFi drop yes/no
Thanks

I use a Asus RT-AC66R and love it. Never had an issue with any device. No drops either.

Mine is no AC wireless but its certainly better than those Asus AC High performance routers
what I like is a balance between Coverage and performance a company called Amped Wireless In the USAMakes these types of routers not some cheap china/korean stuff
What I have is this http://www.ampedwireless.com/products/r20000g.html
It's got dual signal amplifiers each antenna port is outputting 600Mw of power that's face melting wifi right there. Most routers don't even output 100Mw. Routers with internal antennas put out only like 50Mw and have no signal noise filters.
So overall my router is a bit overkill but somehow my Nexus 5 manages to drop the connection lol... my other devices don't exhibit such behavior though.
I'm guessing this is software and I'll wait till Android 4.5 comes I have a year anyway from LG to RMA

Did you check what channel your routers using or if there's a conflict with a nearby router on the same channel. My wife's Macbook pro couldn't hold a WiFi signal from 6 feet away yet every other device in our house had no problems. What I did was took the router off auto and set it to use a specific channel that no other routers within a couple hundred feet where using. Now the MBP has been rock solid since. Turns out me and two neibors were all on channel 6. All my Asus Transformers where real sensitive to signal also.

Try different channels anyway.. Different device radios react to differently to frequencies

It certainly does. You can force it to 2.4 or 5Ghz.
I had to force 2.4Ghz on the phone with my old Wireless G router or speeds were compromised.

Asus RT-AC66U with latest Merlin
No drop

Anyone having trouble seeing some AC channels? I had a launch day N5 that had no problem connecting to ch 153 on my Netgear Nighthawk running DD-WRT. I sold that N5 months ago and now have bought another N5. This one won't "see" my AC network unless it's set to a channel under 48. Even wifi analyzer shows that I have a limited 5 GHz channel range. My S4 connects just fine. Do your N5's see higher 5 GHz channels?
See the photo below. I only see my neighbor's wifi 5G network and the graph stops at 44.
EDIT: Fixed it. It seems changing my extension channel has fixed the issue. I now see the network. N5 seems to not support all AC channels listed in my DD-WRT channel settings.

My P8MAX wont connect to Asus RT-AC68U 5Ghz wifi.

I have a dual-band (2.4ghz and 5ghz) Asus RT-AC68U router. My P8Max can see the 5Ghz SSID but after trying to connect, it says that access has been denied.
I have many other devices connected to that 5Ghz band. The phone connects to the 2.4ghz no problem. The SSID's are different for each band and my P8Max
has connected to other non-Asus routers in other locations in the 5ghz band without issue.
Does anyone have any idea what this issue could be?

Hello I have rt-ac68u, and I use it 5 ghz without any issue. You have to be latest fw version at Asus. And try to change 5 ghz frequency from auto to Manuel, you can try lower frequencies.

Thanks for your suggestions but my P8Max keeps trying and tells me 'Denied access to Network'.
My friend has the same router and its the exact same issue over there.
I have the 703. Perhaps there is a setting I am missing.

I am also using DAV 703L. Did you enabled Mac filter? If you did, could you try disable.
