Hi,
My Galaxy S II with KG6 Firmware cannot see or connect to our wireless network here at work.
I thought this phone had 802.11 N support?

5ghz or 2.4ghz Wi-Fi?
Because there is an issue with the 5ghz Wi-Fi, that others (myself included) started having since KG# releases.
I have not read any issues with 802.11 N and 2.4ghz, it has always worked for me.

Is your Wireless Network using channel 12 to 14?
By default, the phone is set to use only channel 1 to channel 11. So if you are using 12 to 14, it will not see the network.
Goto Settings -> Wireless -> Wireless Settings
Hit the menu button, then select Advanced.
Under Channel, select 14.

Not Using Wireless N?

I just got a Buffalo Wireless N router and my Galaxy s2 won't connect to it via Wireless N, systeminfo shows it's only connected at 54mbps. Is there anyway to get it to connect?

go into router settings and change wifi mode to 'N' only, this is a router/app problem; not phone.
^^just for all the haters out there hehe

[Q] Wireless N on SGS2?

Hi guys, anyone can help me out here with regards to connecting our SGS2 to Wireless N network? I have tried changing my radio frequency setting and even resorted to using WEP authentication instead of WPA, but I just can't get the phone to connect via N network, it always connects via G instead. But under the same settings, I am able to connect my acer laptop and my wife's iphone4 to the N network.
Is there any specific settings I need to configure on my router? I am using a Prolink H5004N adsl2+ modem with wireless N router. The modem is compliant to IEEE 802.11n standards, not draft-n and should work with the SGS2?

Not sure, but I think that it will connect if your N-network are in the 2.4 GHz frequency area, but not in the 5.0 GHz

Yup, tried that too, but still connects to G only. I have also tried configuring router to accept only N networks instead of G/N, but then the SGS2 will not even see the SSID when its performing a wireless scan.

Ive got the same issue. Router Asus RT-N16 (b/g/n, 2.4GHz). Playing with different router firmwares, settings and so on - no luck so far.
Check the "advanced" settings by pressing the menu button in the wireless and make sure nothing wierd is set in there.
Otherwise, as long as the router is set to N only on the 2.4ghz band, it should at _least_ see the SSID.
That modem supports WPS, try pressing the WPS button on the back of the modem and then use the "WPS button connection" option in the wi-fi settings menu on the SGS2.
Remember the single-channel 802.11n 2.4ghz such as the SGS2 supports will only max out at 72mbps anyway so there's not a huge improvement over the 54mbps that 11g will give you, although 11n is more efficient.

I've got the same unit and it works fine with it, that said I'm running a recent build of the Tomato firmware on mine. I don't think I even powered it up fully with the original firmware...

thx for fast reply
SGS2 can see SSID, but fails to connect until I force RT-N16 (with custom firmware, RT-N16-1.9.2.7-rtn-r3121) down to "Use 802.11 G only".
Never had any problems with other 802.11 N powered devices.
only wpa2-aes or no encryption are N-standard

wireless N only officially supports either WPA2-AES encryption or no encryption. Devices with drivers that more closely comply to the spec will not connect to WEP or WPA.
I hope you fixed the issue. I stumbled across this thread while asking the same question; maybe someone else will benefit by having this thread wrapped-up also. No haters, egos, persons, etc please. It's been necessary already to block a few of you.

[Q] Wireless problem

Hi,
I have the following problem:
My wireless router is Netgear WNR2000 v.1. When configured to work up to 300 mbps (Wireless N mode) the phone connects to the router, obtains IP, DNS etc. but has no internet. When I configure the router to work up to 54 mbps (G mode) the problem is solved. I've tried all the security options - WPA2/PSK, WEP and open, same result. I still havent tried the phone with other Wireless N router. My HTC Desire works with the router on any settings. Any ideas how to make the RAZR work with the router in N mode?
Hi,
running wndr3700 on n mode with ssid hidden and wpa2.
No problems at all, connection works perfect.
Maybe router update would help?
Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
My Razr doesn't like of Wireless B and N
In G mode the connection works fine, in N and B the connection drop at every 10 seconds.
Why Motorola does this?
I tried it on TP-Link router with DD-WRT and N standart, works fine.

[Q] Why I can't connect anymore to my 5ghz channel of my router?

I was able to connect to the 5ghz channel with galaxy s2 I9100, but I can't do this anymore, I didn't change anything, it was sudden. It's weird because the phone connects perfectly to the 2.4ghz band of the router, I am using a dual band linksys E2500, I try to modify some settings, changed 802.11a to 802.11n, tried all the channels, changed 20mhz to 40mhz. Can anyone help me?

Try to switch the selected wifi band in your phone in:
Settings > WIFI > press the options button "the left LED button" > advanced > wifi frequency band

[Q] Wi-Fi network not visible

Hi! I've replaced a router to Asus RT-N56U and my Photon can't see neither standard, nor 5GHz wi-fi networks. I have googled that the router may use higher channels of Wi Fi (12-13) while some devices only scan for channels 1-11. After I tried changing the channel from Auto to no. 5 - the network became visible right away.
I'm on stock 2.3.4 ROM currently. Is there any fix for WiFi module (drivers?) on MoPho so it scans channels 12 and 13?
Thanks in advance!
