Wireless N - Motorola Photon 4G

Is there a way to find out if my phone is connected using N, G, or B? I have downloaded several apps and they only tell me the frequency and other minor details. I have a N router when my laptop connects to it I have the ability to chose N or G. On G I can make it out to my porch but when I switch to N I can make it to the end of my driveway. As for my phone I can only make it to my porch which makes me think its on G..

You should be connected to n not the others. You can also check your router and see the signal it is putting off. Or set it to just n so you know.

Do our phones not support 5GHz frequencies? I have two modes on my router, N-only at 5GHz or Auto B/G/N mixed at 2.4GHz. I set two different names for each band one "connection N" and "connection mixed". The photon will only find the mixed signal at 2.4GHz

Does not support 5. Photon can only connect to the 2.4 band.

[Q] Gtab wireless N

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.

No 802.11n wifi on 5 GHz?

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?
My Motorola ATRIX connects to the 2.4 and 5 GHz network. I can confirm the photon does not.

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

802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n broadcast on the same 2.4GHz signal, 5GHz signal is only for 802.11n.
And no, these radios are only 2.4GHz.....I've tested at home as well.

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?

[Q] No 5GHz WiFi on i717R (Rogers)

Hi,
As I know from the specs and talks on Internet, Note LTE has abgn WiFi.
However, I only see the 2.4GHz band, Wifi Analyzer shows only channels 1-14, and there's no band selector anywhere in menus (someone mentioned it).
Any idea? Is it locked in Rogers version?
I can see both on my I717R. I'm on stock Rogers firmware and kernel and rooted. Are you on a custom ROM?
5 ghz does work.....make sure you wifi modem is is enabled for 5ghz...in fact to make sure you can disable 2.4 ghz and watch how the note still connects to wifi...I bought a dual band belkin n300 router just for ny note...
Confirmed. I have a stock i717 with Rogers. I have a Linksys/Cisco E3000. Running both Wireless N on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. I can connect to either one, and both show up in the wireless network list.

In fact, I have returned the dual band router, so there was no experiments with 5Ghz for a while. But recently I've tested it with another router, and it works on A-band. And WiFi Analyzer DOES show A-band, I've just missed the spot to click to switch screens.
Only one question left - how come other folks with i717 on GB have a screen to control WiFi bands, and mine is missing it?

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..

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.

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.
---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------
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.

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?

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.

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.
