Like the title says who got a working N connection with the 101. I can only connect at 54. Using a netgear WNDR3700 router and WPA2 AES
Maurice
I'm in the exact same position. My N1 and my eeePC both connect at speeds greater than 54mbps, but the A101 will not go any higher than 54mbps...
I was running a speedtest compare between my Evo and the 70i and noticed a big difference in speed, ~3Mb in favour of the Evo. Also noticed that its only connecting at g and not n. Is there some sort of governing going on?
are we talking connecting to an n router or connecting at n speeds?

Connecting at N speeds.
However, I did set my router to N only mode and I was unable to obtain an IP address.

does you router use 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz for n? what does the archos support?
My router is 2.4-2.5 ghz running DD-WRT. I checked the tech specs on Archos page but I don't see any info on what frequency they are using, just says it supports WiFi b/g/n.

The Archos is 2.4 GHz only. However that doesn't matter, because I have both 2.4 and 5 GHz on my netgear WNDR3700. All my other devices with N are connecting at N speed to it.
I think the problem is the wifi driver from the archos, unless someone can show me that he is connected at N speed with his archos.

i have a wndr3700 wireless router and using speedtest from the market i get
7.60 Mbps Down
3.41 Mbps Up
looks pretty fast N or not
I only have 5 GHZ N AP so I had to hook up a 2.4 GHZ "N" router that I have, but it is not really N, could never get 300Mbps connectoin on my laptop, but i get 54Mbps on the Archos, it seems fast enough to me.
not working
Very slow no N
I have 74 Mbit wireless connection with my 101 and an WRT320N-EU, so N does work in my situation

Does the Gtab not support wireless N? Or is it Vegan5.1? I have a linksys WRT610N and I have my b/g on the 2.4Ghz and N on the 5Ghz but my Gtab doesn't pick the N SSID. Anyone know why this is?

Nope, its got nothing to do with the rom you are running. The G-Tab is hardware limited to wireless G, no N. I was a little dissapointed by that too when I researched it to buy, but frankly G is fine for streaming vids, music, etc.
Most N routers support dual mode for legacy G devices so I'd suggest turning this on. Additionally if your router does not broadcast its SSID you'll have to manually type it in when setting up the wireless connection on your tab...

My upstairs router is a WRT610N. My GTab works fine with it. The Gtab comes with a single wireless radio (does not support MIMO) that supports the Wireless-N (802.11n) draft standard.
The Gtab will only see the 2.4GHz band, not the 5GHz band.

Oops, you're right, thats what I was trying to say, no 5Ghz frequency.... While it connects fine to my N router, it really isn't true N or any speed near it.

I have my routers on the 2.4GHz band setup for Wireless-N only, and my Gtab connects to them just fine. Both on my E4200 and my WRT610N.

Yeah, I only see 72Mbit/second, but someone else reported that they saw 270 Mbit/second connecting to their Netgear router.
I agree with you. I haven't seen the throughput, especially during large file transfers.
So once again the marketing monster strikes. Clearly states wireless N but only in the 2.4 Ghz range. That's fine just wanted to be sure there wasn't something I was missing. Thanks to everyone who replied.

N doesnt specify any frequency.
True but when anyone sets up a wireless N router on the 5GHz band only...it will not be found by the G-Tablet. I have mine set up with both 2.4GHz and 5GHz so all of my equipment is covered.
I'm using the WRT310N and I have mine set to Wireless N only.
Standard 20MHz Channel @ 2.412GHz
GTAB Connects.
Hell, if you live in an area where you can use all 14 2.4GHz channels you can even connect on channel 14. A lot less interference.
My gTab can see my N-network but it disconnect immideatly after I try to connect. I have 2 routers; 1 upstairs with N only, an done downstairs with both N & G. I'm mostly upstairs but I have to connect to the G-router which only gives me one bar.. But it works just fine, although full speed N would have been nice for Winamp Wifi-sync and transfering Movies etc
Mine connects to DLink Dir655 2.4Ghz rounter using N protocol but gTab radio definitely not a MIMO one.
Best download speed is about 2.7 - 3.0 MByte per second when using FTP, and only 1.9 - 2.0 MByte per second when using SMB protocol.
My laptop can get upload/download speeds around 9-10 MByte per second using same router and 2.4Ghz MIMO N wireless card.
Hello,
as I've read on the net, i9100 should be a dualband wifi device. 2.4 Ghz AND 5 Ghz ought to be supported.
I that true? Is someone actually using 5 Ghz-only mode or was that just marketing buzz?

No, it doesn´t connect to 5GHz WLAN

You are right! I just tried that, and it works just fine.
Thanks for your answers. But which one is correct?
Did you set your Wifi-AP to IEEE 802.11a which is 5Ghz or to 802.11n, which uses 2.4 AND 5 Ghz?
Please some more details. Right now the possibility for dualband is still just 66%
greetings
My case :
My house Router Setting - 2.4ghz band for Wireless G and 5ghz band for Wireless N... Both worked with my phone. But G on 2.4ghz more stable (most of the time 3bar or more), fot N on 5ghz sometime no network coverage.
My router : DLink Quadband DIR825
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I'm using Apple's Time Capsule with both 5 Ghz N and 2.4 Ghz G and N.
As usual 5Ghz is faster but weaker in signal strength.

I tried to set my router to 5GHz mode, and it wouldn´t find the WLAN even if I´m standing next to the Router.
I only tried 802.11n, not 802.11a.
But as others said differently I may give it another try. My Firmware is still KE2, maybe the updated the WLAN-driver later?
I´d actually would like to be able to use 5GHz, as there are quite a few 2,4GHz WLANs next to me, so bandwidth isn´t always the best.
So, whats the case now? Are there several different Hardware/Softwarelayouts on the market or why are there these differences?
Can someone confirm that pure 5GHz wifi works or not, based on trial and error, and post his Firmware-details?
Greetings,
Fenrasa
EDIT:
i googled something VERY interesting:
[Firmware] I9100XXKG1 (Android 2.3.4) (05.07.2011) is supposed to be able to connect to 5GHz Wifis. Can someone try it out and confirm it?
Another poster to the thread wrote, that "KE2 and 7" ought to connect to 5GHz wifi as well.
SOURCE: --cant post link yet, need 8 posts ---
No people some ROM's supporting some NOT !!
Example: Stock Rom -supporting!
and LeoMar75 Rom Revolution
My EU device with KE7 ROM does connect to 5GHz on my WNDR3700 router. IIRC I had to make the SSID visible to make the original connection; once the connection was set up, I then reset the SSID to hidden.
Allright!
Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 on I9100XXKE7 logged into my 5GHz Wifi. (Buildnummer GINGERBREAD.XWKE7)
Thank you all for your help!
Just a follow up question to this:
It appears the GS2 does have 5ghz support at least to some degree.
Is this 802.11a 5ghz, or 802.11n 5ghz, or both? And on a side-note, what's the fastest speed you've got it to negotiate with wifi? On my Galaxy S, even with 802.11n and 10 feet away from my router, I usually max out at 72 mbps.
It definitely supports 802.11n at 5 GHz, as that's how I connect to my home network. I have no idea how fast the link is -- never bothered to check.
Now that I'm at home, I just connected to my 5 GHz 802.11n, and the link speed reported by the SGS2 is 65 Mbps, the same speed I get connecting at 2.4 GHz. I'm sitting about 2 meters from my access point, and the 5 GHz signal strength is only "good", as opposed to "excellent" for the 2.4 GHz.

Interesting, thanks 3waygeek! Glad to hear 5Ghz appears to work with 802.11n.
*Bump*
Anyone else have any experience/input?
5ghz works here too, speeds seem to be faster( not that they matter on real life conditions) but signal ill always be weaker for 5ghz as it doesn't penetrate walls and such as well as 2.4
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S2 on TELUS.
I am quite confused about the statements here regarding the signal ranges of a....n..
can somebody have a look at "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11" they give the largest ranges for ...n signals. The only thing I can confirm is that yes, I can connect to all: a... and ...n..
Well it may be useful to gather a collection of working/not working stats together to find the best rom/kernel/modem combos.
NOT working (5GHz network not detected, Time Capsule with separate named 5GHz channel, picked up fine by Macbook Pro):
ROM: VillainROM 2.4.2
Kernel: 2.6.35.11 ninphetamine 2.0.5, and also 2.1.3
Modem: XXKG6
ROM: LeoMar75 2.6 - XXKH3
Kernel: 2.6.35.11 ninphetamine 2.1.3
Modem: XXKH3
well, for those who can't connect to 5Ghz band, try to adjust channel setting on your router may solve the problem.
My S2 only supports 36-48 channels currently, and I can't find any region option in the setting menu.
BTW, yes, the 5Ghz signaling strength is not as good as 2.4Ghz. However, the trasmission rate (or efficiency) is much better than 2.4Ghz due to less interfere.
Anyone else confirm?
I'm seeing that this will not connect to my 802.11n network, won't even see it in fact, that runs on 5GHz. Connects to 2.4GHz networks fine.
Looking at spec sheet, no frequency is listed. I would assume as with most devices it is 2.4 only? Gonna test it here in a few myself.
I don't know of any mobile device that supports 802.11n dual band. All the phones/tablets only use 2.4 ghz band for 802.11n as far as I can tell.

My Galaxy Tab 7 supports 802.11n on 5 GHz, though only some of the channels my router supports.
I have not been able to get my Photon to connect to the Wireless N network on my router, only the Wireless G network. Not sure what's up with that?

Be aware the question is regarding 802.11n @ 5Ghz.. You can have an 802.11n setup with just 2.4Ghz (most common)

Even with a dual-radio router, it's possible they're both running on 2.4 I believe. Could you go into your router configuration and check what channel you're running your N network on?

I would think a major limitation would be because the wifi chip + antenna are SISO not MIMO. It could also be a compatibility issue between wireless chipset in the gt-i9300 and the router
Addition:
There are other special requirements to achieve 450Mbps too...

As mentioned by xtechx, this is a chipset limitation. You'll just have to live with it since it only has a single antenna (meaning it supports about half of the maximum transmission speed of your router for Wireless N), as with most mobile wifi chipsets. Though if I remember correctly, the HTC One supports MIMO (full wifi speeds)

Old post but what the heck.
Wireless devices are built to operate at given speeds.
Common Android device connection speeds are 54Mbits/sec(802.11g), 65Mbits/sec, 72Mbits/sec, 150Mbits/sec(5GHz).
As WiFi is half-duplex, you will never see 'real' data throughput at the listed connection speed.
At very best, you'll probably only see ⅔ the connection speed.
The connection speed is often dictated by the number of antennas a device has and generally max'd out at 150Mbit/sec on 2.4GHz frequency due to 20MHz channel allocation limit, where 40MHz channel allocation is not encouraged.
5GHz frequency connection speeds are generally higher as 5GHz is based on 40MHz channel width.
I have a Sony XPERIA M (C1905) with dual band (2.4GHz/5GHz) WiFi.
5GHz has a connection speed of 150Mbits/sec.
Over 5GHz it has a bandwidth throughput of 109Mbits/sec in an optimal environment.
5GHz is a higher frequency than 2.4GHz so it will not have the same signal strength of 2.4GHz at distance.(trade-off)
If you really want to test WiFi throughput on an Android device, you have to use iPerf for Android and then install a Windows/linux version of iPerf on a NAS/PC.
This will provide true maximum bandwidth/throughput available to your Android device in a LAN where your testing servers should not bottleneck the Android device you are testing.
Because of the channel allocation, you have to have a 802.11ac router if your Android device supports 802.11ac to obtain the max. 802.11ac throughput.
