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?
greetings
No, it doesn´t connect to 5GHz WLAN
How could I control it ? I don't have anything related to it in my settings' panel ^^'

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.

I noticed my WiFi signal isn't as strong as my original Epic was. Does this phone support wireless N?

I tried N on my evo a while back and thought it sucked my battery down compare to G. My N network shows up fine on my 3D although I haven't tested it cause G is plenty fine for the 3D. Plus I get excellent battery life leaving wi-fi on G and don't really need the speed bump going to N. I don't think N will work on 5Ghz though. My ipad2 will see a 5Ghz N network but not my evo. So if your N is on 5Ghz it won't even show up in your list, at least it didn't for me.
I get between 65 and 72 mbps with my 3D on my 4G i was topping off at 54mbps.
That really is too bad... I thought I remembered having read somewhere that the 802.11 chipset in the 3D supported 5Ghz..? If that's the case I would be curious if a different firmware or driver might be able to enable use of the 5Ghz spectrum.

My ipod touch 4th gen won't see a 5Ghz N network either. I ended up switching my N network back to 2.4 since hardly anything even sees a 5Ghz network.
The evo3d does support n but only on a 2.4ghz signal. Your router must be set to that signal in order to use it. It will not see 5ghz ssid. I average 78 to 94 mbps on wifi. Hope this helps.

I could be standing right next to the router and not get better than a 11 mbps rate when the cable service is 25 mbps (and the computer reaches that high). Why would that be? I looked in all the Linksys settings and cant see what could be changed.

do you currently have a 802.11b device connected at the same time as the Evo 3D?
802.11n on the 2.4 side, might be talking slower because you have a slower device connected? (maybe an old iPhone, or old laptop or something?)
If that doesn't work, take off mixed mode, and set it only to n, or at least G and N.

Well you might have to invest in a different router. Your router needs to be set at 2.4ghz in order for the 3d to see the ssid and connect. Otherwise it will only see the g. Try updating your routers firmware and see if that might help. Also call the tech support or check the routers website to see if it supports 2.4ghz

Not a bad thing. A netgear 3500 dualbad will only set you back about 170 + warranty of course. But look at it like this do it now and its over. Got mine from bestbuy with a 4yr warranty. With this router you can have multiple networks setup. I have the 5ghz for my 3 desktops and my laptop which support the signal. Then I have the 2.4ghz n just for the 3d. Then I also have a guest network for friends who visit and want to connect which is a,b,g or n. You can configure the networks as you see fit. Its a great investment imo and with the 4yr warranty you covered. Hope this helps.

Yeah the EVO 3D does not support 5ghz N Band.....at least it doesn't detect mine.
Does any phone out support 5 GHz wireless n? I'm not positive but I don't think so. And even if it does what ISP has speeds that even come close to the speeds available in that spectrum? I have 5 GHz n on my computer and yes it performs better on speed tests than my 3D but Time Warner isn't selling 300 Mbps service. My 3D and my OG EVO both cap out at 72 Mbps which I attribute to "good neighbor" mode in 2.4 GHz which basically never let's you use channel bonding that is required for higher speeds. That being said 72 Mbps is more than sufficient for anything I'm doing on my phone especially considering my service is only 15/2 Mbps. On a separate note I did notice the Samsung 10.1 tab does support 5 GHz.

Is the N on a separate chip in the 3vo? I don't understand how N would suck the battery faster than G. I thought N was more efficient than G.

WNDR3000 I think... Maybe 3100? I forget.
Anyone else have any input on this? I still haven't had any success getting it to work.
How do you have the SSID setup?
For 802.11n to function properly, you must use WPA2 with AES or no security (open).
Is that what you are running?
Also, make sure on the 5GHz side that the access point is using 40Mhz channel not 20Mhz.
Hi!
I've just bought Galaxy Tab 10.1.
I have the router Cisco Linksys E4200.
And I cannot connect to 5 GHz with my tablet.
Anyone succeeded to connect to 5 GHz with this router?
Thanks?
In Paris v4 and Pershoot's kernel. Using a Linksys e3000. Never had a problem connecting to either 2.4 or 5ghz.
Stock KME here, no problem connecting to a D-Link DIR-825's wireless N at 5.0 Ghz.
Must be something in your router settings....maybe check what the setting is on mixed data modes and all that stuff.
Hi!
It works now.
We have to set the Channel in the router config to get 5GHz working.
Here is the very interesting suggestion coming from Cisco Wireless Routers forum :
Set the 5 GHz band on the router to a only, 20 MHz and channel 36.
Wow!
wireless n
I think that the native 801n is O/S enabled. When i first got my IO tab it "saw" and connected to all networks a,b,g,n. Now after a boot loop issue and restore back to 3.0.1(from 3.1), I can only detect and connect to the 2.4GHz band of the router(which has separate simultaneous g/n capability)
If anyone has an apk to turn on the n for 3.0.1 i'd be greatful..
Fixed the previous post about the cisco(linksys) router settings worked..
Wifi 5.0Ghz
At my duaghters school she can only see/connect to the 5.0Ghz wifi in the lower bands/channels. I raised this with Samsung and their official response was that 5Ghz was not supported. See below. Its obviously not as absolute as thier statement as we are connect to some 5Ghz wifi routers - has anyone found the same.

I was wondering if any prime owners tryed to connect on a N-Only wifi?? on the box it says a/b,g,n wireless but when i try to set my wifi to N-Only, i can see the network but theirs no way the prime is connecting to it. I have to switch it back to either Mixed or G/N Mixed, and then im able to connect with a max connectivity with router of 54mbps. This problem was present before and after ICS update, my router is a Asus RT-N12 (tryed with stock firmware, updated stock firmware and with DDWRT). I Would like to know if any of you guys tryed this out I feel i'v been kinda scammed
PS. (I checked out on Q&A for the prime and couldnt find any post related to this if you guys know there is already one, please just give me the link i'll continu posting on the other thread thanks)
I can't connect to my "N" router either. Mine doesn't even show up in my TF.
is it a TF prime or the first one?
N-5ghz is not supported, putting it in 2.4Ghz mode should work (at least, it does on mine... whether there's a difference or not is another thing)
I can connect my prime to my router with N only as long as its on 2.4GHZ and between channels 1-11. I wish I could pick up 12-14 because I live in an apartment complex with crowded wifi. Router is Cisco E2000 with DDWRT firmware...
The link speed showing on the network signal app only maxes at 54 mbps though. I can stream 1080p mp4s from my network drive though so its fast enough for me...
RT-N12 is operating on 2.4ghz and does not support 5ghz. Are you sure you are in "N-Only" mode or are you in "Mixed"??
This has been discussed in great detail in general section. Its known Prime can't connect to 5Ghz. set it to 2.5 or G only. G only seems tl yield best results. also check this article out..might help.
www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30664-5-ways-to-fix-slow-80211n-speed
Yes, it connects 2.5 N only but the performance is pathetic. Prior to ICS, I got curious changing my 2.5 GHz band to strictly G. Saw an immediate boost in performance + speeds.
Yes so far I am very disappointed. I just got the Prime today and it immediately updated to ICS. Once that was done I started checking out the wifi ability right away, because of all the bad reports all over the internet. Much to my surprise, mine doesn't see my wireless N either. I had the TF101 prior and it worked fine with my router. My Samsung E4GT phone sees it just fine, and what really hurts is my wife's iPad 2 sees it, connects to it and pulls just under 20mbps speeds.
To say this sucks is an understatement. I hate losing to Apple in any way, and here I am with the latest and greatest Android tablet, and being punked by a nearly year old IOS device.

What do you stream over 5ghz network to iPad? 1080p movies? It redundant...just turn down to 2.4 and everyone is happy.
Having a technically higher spec which does not improve on daily usage is redundant.

Exactly, the prime doesn't support the 5Ghz frequency. Only supports 2.5ghz N or whatever. There's only a few tablets that do actually support 5ghz. All it takes is a simple change n it'll work. THE whole argument that it should work on any network is b.s. Especially if you have it set to something not supported. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
I've always used N-Only. I get a decent connection to my Transformer Prime with it too.
Mines is the cheap Belkin N150 router so I doubt it does that 5Ghz range as that seem like a setting for a higher priced N router.

Point 1: Your are in the US, so you are not allowed using anything except 1-11 by FCC regulations.
Point 2: N-Only often turns on channel bonding in soho equipment like yours, so it needs 8 full channels to use it properly. Each channel is 5 MHz apart from the other and a WiFi device uses channels in a/b/g that are 20 MHz wide, in 11n with channel bonding (which is an optional feature for the high data rates) they use channels of 40 MHz. So dividing the 40 Mhz by 5 Mhz makes using of channel 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7. If you would live in Japan, on only country that is allowed to use channel 14. So for US it would be channel 11-4. This explains why channel bonding in the 2.4 GHz band is a band ides unless you are living in a big ranch 500 feet away from the next WiFi router.

Cool device, taken from the specs page of belkin.com:
Security: Wi-Fi Protected Setup, 256-bit WEP (64-128bit), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2- PSK (AES) with WPS Push Button
Range of up to 1,000 ft.
Link Rate: Up to 150Mbps in 40MHz Channel Mode Bandwidth 20 MHz & 20/40 MHz auto
ISP Protocols Supported Dynamic, Static, PPPoE, PPTP, Telstra Bigpond, L2TP
Compliant Standard IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
So no 11n support per specs, but the Overview page tells 150 MBits are supported, so it can run 75 Mbits without channel bonding and 150 with.
Try out the WiFi Widget it tells you the data rate to the WiFi router.

I spent the extra money to purchase a dual band router, so I could broadcast N and G as two separate signals. As I understand it, if you broadcast both on a single signal, and you have some older devices that require and connect to the G band, it will automatically cut the speed back, to whatever the slowest device connected is capable of. At least that is the way it was explained to me. So the N was on 5ghz and G was on 2.4ghz. It has always worked with any other wireless N device I have had, until I got this "latest and greatest" tablet. So yes now I have downgraded my wireless network to only 1 band, to accommodate the Prime.

If you have 2.4ghz g network, prime should be able to detect it. Check if your dual band is working properly...
Wireless n is impt only if you stream HD movies. I stream music on g with no problem at all.
I know you feel frustrated, and I know it sucks as prime is supposed to be PRIME. If you intend to stream HD movies to prime you may have to "down grade" to 2.4ghz if not wireless N is kind of overrated or "miss used" as I see no use of having to stream HD to non HD devices. If you are a home theater enthusiastic or business it then wireless n 5mhz is a must.
Hope you can move on to appreciate the quad core of prime than dwelling on this issue.
Cheers!

You right about getting ringed..lmao. I just posted to your thread. 5Ghz N range is marketing b.s. its way overhyped n not as good as people think anyways. Read this tech article to get the real scoop on it and tips.

I did read it and thank you at the other thread....
Great Read...
Thanks again.
hello,
i would like to know, how fast SGS3 can connect to my cisco e4200 n router that advertise 450mbps throughput ..
i'm trying to get 450mbps connection to my router..
on my router i setup wireless n and wireless bg network..
when i connect to 2.4g network i get 75mbps connection 1m away from router.
the same speed i get when i connect SGS3 to 5ghz network..
what i'm doing wrong?
thx

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...

thanks for advice,
i tried to setup my wifi in different ways, but no luck..
maximum connection i can reach is 72Mbps
Does any one manage to get higher connection between SGS3 and wifi router 802.11n ?

With my netgear wndr3700 I can connect at 150mbps
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'm getting 150mbps on the VirginMedia Superhub running 5Ghz
o.k. so is possible that i have something wrong with my cisco E4200 router..
so SGS3 have only single-stream ?
because my router for 450Mbps have to use all tree-streams..
thank to all for responding...
i will have to send an email to cisco...
now i will flash ddwrt firmware to see if is there any difference

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)

Yeah, kind of normal behavior if you switch power save mode off. What do you expect?

Thanks for the tip!! My Wifi speed according to the SpeedTest app is now 20Mbps which is twice what they were before turning off power save mode. However, they are still no where near what others are reporting for max speeds on the SG3
glad to hear this,
but power management will be hungry...

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.
Just got this phone today,
I have a Netgear R6300 capable of AC wifi but my phone wont connect to the internet when its on the 5ghz network. It works fine on the 2.5ghz but the other it connects but no internet.
I tried giving it a reserved ip and looking at the settings on my router but nothing is popping out at me?
Anyone have any ideas?

Check the Advanced Wi-Fi settings. Check Freq Band and make sure it is not set to 2.4 GHz only. Also try turning on "Best Wi-Fi Performance" and see if that helps.
Mine connects to my 5GHz network with no problems at all.
Hope that helps.

What router do you have? Also what kind of connection speed are you getting?
I checked freq and it was on auto, tried just 5ghz, also tried Best wifi but it still cant connect to the internet. I gets a connection with the router according to the phone but my 6300 doesnt show it as a connected device.
no problem here i can connect to my 5Ghz network with my a/n capable Time Capsule router. speeds are 55..27 Mbps download / 35.95 Mbps upload. my One wifi settings are set to Auto (vs. setting to 2.5 or 5 Ghz).
I have a Netgear WNDR4500. Speeds are 40 Mbps down and 28 Mbps up. That is with the router 2 floors above me in my house. My settings are also set to "Auto" as well. I connected immediately when I got home on Thursday after getting the device. I have had no problems at all with WiFi. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.
I have no problem when connecting to my R6300 in AC mode ...
mine connects just fine
No connection at 5ghz, can only connect at 2ghz
I have d-link dr-825 rev B router with [DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/01/13) std - build 21153] firmware. It has dual 2ghz and 5ghz radios.
I can only connect at 2ghz and unable to connect at 5ghz.
I have a dell latitude laptop and my old Galaxy SII has no problem connecting.
Howvever Htc-One lists the access point, correctly determines what kind of security is on (like wpa/wpa2 etc) but is unable to connect. I think once I saw a brief flash saying authentication failure on my phone when trying to connect to 5ghz. So I removed all security and made it completely open just to try. Again no connection without any error.
I am thinking of returning it if it is going to be a problem.

Ok, I have solved the problem, now it is connecting. I made two changes in the wirless setup. Enable RTS/CTS protection and also enabled short preamble. After these two changes it is connecting as expected.

I'm having the same issue with mine and the same router, can not quiet figure out what is going on.
Just quick update i just did an update on my router and it seems to connect completely fine
For those who have router issues, check for a firmware update! Most routers have a few updates while sitting on the shelf. I used to always update and properly configure routers (with out the software disc) for customers at my old job and we rarely had problems of customers bribing it back. And throw out the disc that comes with the router. The software can cause headaches down the road. All security settings can be done inside the router through any web browser and router IP.
Just got a black ATT HTC ONE, everything is great, but no connection to 5ghz network here either.
I have a Netgear WNDR3700 and just updated to the DD-WRT build 21676, and still no go...
All our macbook airs are working fine on the 5ghz...:cryingrobably time for a new router lol
Connects to my linksys ea6500 5ghz ac just fine link speed around 400 mbps

Prefers 2.4
I have a dual band N router, and my One seems to "prefer" connecting to the 2.4 GHz network over the 5 GHz.
It will work fine on the 5GHz, but I have to switch it manually when I walk in the house (so I usually don't).
I guess I could just tell my phone to "forget" the 2.4 network to fix this. On more thinking, maybe it's a coverage thing - it probably finds the 2.4 GHz network first. Lower frequencies penetrate walls better, right?

Correct. The 2.4 GHz network should travel further. Its all about that sweet sweet 5 GHz speed though! Mine connects to my Asus RT-AC66U router just fine.

You could always set it to 5ghz preferred. Mine connects to my netgear 5ghz ac router with no issues. Also if you have the same password for both frequencies it could just be connecting to that first.

I did check when sitting in my driveway - the 2.4 GHz network was still 2 "arcs" there & the 5 GHz was just a dot, so I think it is connecting to the first one it finds & sticking with it. In the Wi-Fi preferences, the "Wi-Fi frequency band" options are only Auto/5 GHz only/2.4 GHz only. No 'preferred' option - I'm running stock though - is there something different in the custom ROMs? I'm not afraid to root/ROM - I just haven't seen a good reason yet.

Use the only 5ghz only. There's a big difference with custom roms and stock att at the moment. There's new firmware etc. 2.4Ghz has more penetration through walls then 5Ghz. That's why you have more bars of one and not the other.

Well I want to be able to use the 2.4 GHz networks when available, so I'll leave it on auto. I guess the speed isn't a huge deal when the wireless connection is so much faster than my internet connection.
And yes, I know that there are lots of differences between stock & custom ROMs (my last phone was a Nexus S & I was always changing ROMs). What I meant to ask was if there was a difference with that specific option.
wifi 2.4GHz connection problems
Welcome
I have silver One for 3 weeks now, but it was 2 weeks in service - they reinstalled software and returned phone. No change.
I can't connect to any 2.4 Ghz network (G/N) ending Authentication Error. Only 5GHz works.
I tried it with Netgreat WNDR4700 (Gargoyle custom software), CISCO access point @ work, also random WiFi open networks in shops/malls, etc. Other devices i know and have at home ( Samsung Note II, htc Sensation, Acer Iconia tab, Dell Latitude laptop) works fine. Just the One cosing problems.
I run stock rom, how can I turn on more verbose logging or see what is happening in the Operation system while connecting? I must prove to Regenersis Poland service that my phone does not work. Otherwise they will say phone works within parameters.
