Is anybody experiencing issues with Wireless N connectivity on the Captivate? Everybody and everything is telling me it can do Wireless N, but it wont see my Wireless N network at all! I've done everything i could to the router to make it as simple as possible for the phone to see it, but it never works!
Anybody know what the deal is on this? Seems to me like it doesnt have Wireless N capabilities.
2.4 Ghz band only. If your router is 5 Ghz your Galaxy won't see it at all.
2.4 works for me. Using a Linksys WRT320N from Sams.

works fine with netgear wndr3700.
However, it does get slightly less speed than my laptops on speakeasy speedtest

There we are! Thanks for that info! Where did you find that? Maybe i overlooked it everywhere i've seen it.. But thats the case! Mines running 5GHz right now, thats why its not seeing it, i changed it to 2.4 and it worked beautifully!
We, or at least I, found it in the specification for the chipset that runs wifi/Bt/gps wherein it specifies the frequency/speed of the N to be N-150 which means 2.4GHz bands in conjunction with the b/g connectivity. Ah if it were only a/b/g/n... then it would have worked at 5GHz
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.
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
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.

I was attempting a file transfer between my NAS and Phone today, but realised that despite the Nexus 5 supposedly supporting 20/40mhz bands on wireless N, I was instead negotiating with my AP at only 72mbps.
I have a Asus RT-N16 router running Tomato USB and my other devices can connect at 300mbps fine, but there is something about my Nexus that won't. Even though I think its suppose too.
Now this is separate to 802.11AC, my router doesn't support this and AFAIK it may work fine compared to 802.11n.
So my question is, has anyone else managed to get 300mbps N link speeds on their device when using a 802.11n network spec @ 40mhz?
Seems for some reason my device is telling the AP that it supports single band 20mhz only and is defaulting to this low connection link.
I have tried different WiFi tweaks, switching too and from mobile data modes after some research on here and none of it helps, still stuck at 72mbps.
