[Q] Wireless-N on 5GHz Band?

Hi,
I did a search but received no hits. Does anyone know if the Transformer will work on a Wireless-N 5GHz band? I have a Linksys E3000 router setup at home using the stock firmware. I have Wireless-G setup on a 2.4GHz band for my Sony Dash and BlackBerry 9700. I have Wireless-N setup on a 5GHz band for my laptop and another router acting as a wireless bridge for my PS3. The reason I use 5GHz is because I was getting too much interference with the 2.4GHz band. There's a lot of construction in my area that disrupts my network if I use the 2.4GHZ band(determined through testing). I noticed the Motorola Xoom supports it, but haven't found anything for the Transformer.

Only 2.4Ghz wireless N

As said only 2.4GHz which is a pretty big fail for Asus as even my Samsung Galaxy SII has it and its becoming the norm. I've now had to revert everything back as had it all setup for 5GHz. I just found I had far less signal drops on 5.

Try changing the channels on your 2.4 ghz settings to minimize interference.

I already tried that. I was running a Wireless-G network before, and no matter which channel I changed to, there was always interference. That was the primary reason why I upgrade to a Wireless-N network on 5GHz band. Although, I haven't tried Wireless-N on a 2.4GHz band yet. I might get around to giving it a try one day.

I just did some digging around and it turns out the TF uses the BCM4329 radio chip. According to the specs it should be able to support Wireless-N on a 2.4GHz and 5GHz band. I hope Asus enables 5GHz support in a future update. All we can do is wait and see I guess.

They probably never wired the trace on the pcb for the 5GHz, it also needs another antenna

5ghz WiFi?

Just ordered my TF... was wondering if it would be able to pick up 5ghz WiFi, or is it only capable of 2.4

See technical specs 2.4 only.

It's 2.4GHz only.

Mine wouldn't connect to my 5 GHz band router. Should have checked that before I bought it!

[Q] Will these phones work on 3 UK Network from China?

Will i be able to get a decent internet speed and coverage from 3 UK on a Chinese phone whereby signal is no issue for my Xperia Arc S?
What about the other features like dual sim and GPS i have heard they can be a problem?

Im not sure what frequencies 3 UK runs on either..

USB-C Wifi dongle?

I love my Pixel C, it is my traveling laptop. The biggest problem is Wifi. It is the metal case and no external antennae, at home if I point the rear metal size to the router it is 1/4 the speed of if I point the glass screen to the router.
I was wondering if a USB-C Wifi dongle being external would work?
I know there are USB-C Ethernet dongles which work.

Htc white coax antenna ?

Hello,
Can you please tell me what is te purpose of the white coax cable conecting the charging module with main board.
I understand that is a antenna cable, i've broke the c connector by mistake and the phone is functioning ok, 3g, 4g wifi .
Thank you

possibly a second antenna is available
I don't think smartphones today have only one antenna, to use MIMO on different streams smartphones have multiple antennae
so you might have broken one, see and compare connection speeds
if you have 802.11AC router the maximum supported speed is 866Mbps
if rooted, you can use LTE discovery and see if you are able to use carrier aggregation
