Infinity cannot see N netowrks

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.

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.

Brand New Nexus 5 Doesn't Connect To Home Wi-Fi [URGENT]

I bought a nexus 5 to replace my galaxy s4 which died a couple of days ago.
My home router is a Netgear D6300 and everything (pc, tv and phones such as iphone, samsung and nokia can connect just fine).
My nexus 5 was delivered today and i spent the last 5 hours to get it working with my wifi but NOTHING worked (and, i'm not joking, i got to the point of almost throwing it out of the window).
I tried enabling SSID broadcasting, changing "security options", changing channels, disabling 5ghz network, i also enabled the guest network with no protection but nothing worked.
The only thing i noticed was the when using particular channels (5-6-7) the phone would say "connecting" for a few seconds but then it would go back to "saved,protected with wpa/wpa2".
I also changed some wifi settings on my phone (i disabled wifi optimization and i forced the phone to use the 2.4 ghz network only)
Sometimes it stays on "saved....." and doesn't even seem to try to connect.
After a while i tried creating an hotspot with an iphone 5s and my nexus connected in a second and everything was working.
So the problem should be in my router settings but i already tried everything (and besides everything else but the nexus works just fine).
I'm really desperate because i use this phone for work and i need to get this working asap.
I also managed to update to android 4.4.4 using my mobile network but i can't update to lolipop because it would use all my remaining 3g network data.
Btw i did some heavy modding on my galaxy s4 so i'm not a newbie to android.
I'm also willing to pay for support but to be honest i'm really disappointed that such and "acclaimed" phone has problems connecting to a wifi network that works with basically everything.

Sorry if I missed it in the post, but did you reboot the router.

Yes but it didn't help.

I've had 4 N5's in my possession over the past year or so, and not a single one had any issues connecting to any WiFi network, including Netgear routers. Your problem is either specific to your particular device or your router and not with the N5 in general. I assure you, the N5 deserves all the praise (and criticisms) that it has received.ave you tried a different router? I know you used it with your iPhone's hotspot but I mean an actual router? Also, have you tried resetting your router to defaults?

Are you using MAC filtering on the router?

I just tried a dlink router on my home network and everything works!!!!!
But i want to understand why my D6300 doesn't work with the nexus (its configured the same way as the dlink).
Any suggestions???
In the meantime i'll reset the D6300.

Nope, i've disabled it.
And btw i read on some forums of people using my netgear with the nexus 5 and everything was working just fine.

If your router is handing out DHCP addresses it may have run out of addresses if you have many wireless devices connecting infrequently. But I would thing a reboot would have cleared that up.

[Q] does the shield tablet support 3g/4g usb modems through OTG ?

As it has come to my know, the WiFi edition suffering from the weak Wifi signal, so I am wondering if can I use my 3g/4g USB modem through Otg cable instead of the WiFi ?

That is mine ... The insulation of our building is very good so signal of cell phone even suffer to reach some of the rooms, I am wondering if device will really do good job inside the building ...

I have tested it out and it does not work out of the box. You will have to root your tablet and use this guide: http://www.xda-developers.com/connect-any-3g-dongle-to-any-android-tablet/
Good luck

[Q] Not connecting to AC wireless 5GHz

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.

WiFi 5 Ghz issues

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.
