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!

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 was just curious if anyone else is having (or heard of) an issue like this? I have tried on three different wireless N networks, and it will not see them. I have tried manually adding them as well and it always says out of range. It is almost as if the N radio isnt working. I can connect to b/g networks fine. I also know that the wireless N networks are functioning properly as I can connect other devices to them. Do I need to enable the N radio in the tablet somehow? I havent seen any threads about this, so I am guessing that its just me.
The router has to be on 2.4/5Ghz mixed mode, Unfortunately the infinity can't se 5GHz networks. Yes I agree its dumb that a $500-600 device can't use 5GHz

got ya, and yeah that does suck. the main router I use is a dual mode asus rt-n66u, so it has the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks separated. pretty disappointing that it cant use 5ghz. oh well, thanks for the info.

usually you can set which bands and specs will be used. you can still connect your infinity via n as long as you have your router configured with 2.4ghz and n. most dual mode routers will allow this.

yeah its connected N on 2.4ghz. I had a brain fart and meant 5ghz when I stated that I couldnt see the N network. thanks again.
I know we cant use 5ghz but why? Would it be a software issue or a hardware issue.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using XDA Premium HD app
umm,..... never had issues FINDING "n" networks - currently typin using that NOW
~ works at home AND @ work ----------- am on '.26 update - maybe that will helps
( as I do remeber when I first got this beast - I had to try couple to times to connect this to work wirless-dual band access point ... but it finally did and first thing i did was UPDATE FIRMWARE !!!)).....
> i have re read the latest firmware logs , but I wanted to get 64gb card to work straight away ,,, so that was my plan - buy at time when ASUS had that sorted out.. blah blah...sorry cannt remember the rest of info in those UPDATE LOGS - might be worthwhile reading and doing updates

click thanks if this is helpfull > cheers
I'm on a N network so this is not true.
I only broadcast my home wireless network in N for highest wireless performance. All of my somewhat aged wifi devices that include a 2006 Dell XPS notebook with DraftN, a Nintendo DSi, Blackberry Playbook, and of course the Infinity all connect to a 802.11n hotspot I broadcast with two Belkin N150s. Even the Transformer Prime connected to the N.
The only wifi device I own that does not connect to N is my HTC Evo 4G phone. It sees it but fails to connect.
OP if I were you I'd recheck your wireless router settings, maybe you have MAC filtering enabled.

~~~ > not sure 100% .. but there is a FIX for your EVO here ,,, somewhere I read , on evo forum
there i a "modem" fix for it to connect to N acceess point/routers

Is it somehow possible to get a surface Rt to connect to European WiFi channels 12&13
Reflash the WiFi firmware or whatever..
?

wow! I just had this problem with my US bought Surface RT when I returned to my apartment in China. My router was set to channel 13 and I couldn't figure out why my smart phone was connecting but my surface wasn't even detecting my wifi, even though my surface is so close to the router the antenna is almost touching my surface!
I had to borrow a friend's laptop to change the channel, becuase the surfafce has no ethernet port and I bought this to replace my laptop.
So you are not imagining anything, I have the same problem.
I think its law in the US that devices sold there cannot have support for channels 12 and 13 (the frequencies allocated for those channels are allocated for something else in the US I think).
You probably can't re-enable it.
Probably not an issue either. Most devices I have seen here in the UK default to auto or channel 1. I've had american relatives come over and their laptops have connected to UK routers fine.

Nope. If you buy a surface in the US, it is limited to US frequencies.
and there is no way to reflash the firmware of the Marvell Avastar 88W8797 WiFi chip?

Most likely write once memory, ie, cannot reflash it.
I bought my Surface RT in the US, but am using it in the UK, so have the same problems.
Chances are it could be enabled with a new driver... most wifi cards in laptops are multi-frequency and are just enabled via the driver or firmware.
Getting a new driver onto the RT might be a problem though.
Is someone able to upload the driver files from their European system? Any files that show up under "Driver File Details" in Device Manager.

I do not believe there is any law in US against using 12 & 13 . All wi-fi routers are able to use them. I had this issue the first time last week when my router auto tuned to 12 and my Surface could no longer see the SSID but my phone and wife's ipad had no problem.
The FCC may permit their use at very low power, but I'm not even sure about that. There are a number of areas of radio communication where different "channels" (frequency ranges) are permitted in some countries but not in others. In many cases, devices manufactured in the US either can listen but not broadcast on those frequencies, or can only use them after put in "international" mode, but sometimes they are able to do so anyhow and it's on the user's head if they cause any interference.
I was just wondering if this dongle:
https://www.carjoying.com/wireless-...-for-joying-android-car-stereo-radio-gps.html
will work on the Carjoying MTCD Unit.
I could also use PPPWidget 3 but I would really like signal bars in the notification areas.
Any experiences with this? Any other dongles work with the 5.1.1 Units? I would prefer not to use a hotspot dongle though.
Thanks!
Anyone tried this out?
I have eonon clone device and with Malysk rom my donge: HUAWEI E3131 works perfect.
Also interested, feedback?
looks like they have a new one:

hotspot, not 3G/4G dongle.
Hello guys!
Simple problem, OnePlus 9 Chinese (LE2110), my PC cant recognise 5ghz band hotspot from this device. Tried with 2 laptops as well, but nothing. Until now only an iPhone 11 could find my hotspot on 5ghz. The 2.4ghz works fine. Any ideea? Thanks!

I know the chances are slim, but if the laptops are older, they may not have a 5ghz wifi card. How old are the laptops? Any chance you could try with a usb wifi dongle and see if it works on that.

My laptop have 5ghz, he can find the 5hz home router network. My pc have Dongle from TP LINK with 5GHZ suport too. The problems is the phone itsfel. I noticed the problem dissapeared on OOS12 OB1 and COS12 OB 1/2 xDD Looks like it s some software thing... xDD
