Problem with 802.11n connection - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My router supports 802.11n but my phones connect only in 54Mbps.
In addtion whenever i set my router to transmit only in 802.11n protocol , the phone can not connect to wifi.
it can see the router but it can not connect

The phone's chip always uses the highest possible compatible protocol.
All you can do is switch frequency between 2.4 and 5Ghz band. (I'd leave it on auto)
You may want to check with another non-similar Wireless-N router. In most cases i've seen this issue the Router wasn't actually N but one of the very early draft Versions (read: pre-beta) of the N-standard and thus had too many incompatibilites with the client for both to understand each other.
This would cause the device to go back to G standard.

ok, how do you stop it using "n". on my HTC I could tell it to use "g" to save power. On my S3, wlan traffic sucks the juice from the battery.

When I turn it to 5ghz band it doesn't find at all my router.my Samsung smart tv works fine with 802.11n , same with my ps 3 and my pc .My router is d link DSL 2740B

Mine connects at 72mbps on the default setting, check your router.

I download the application andromizer from the market and to the wifi settings I receive the message that my device does not support 802.11n set
I have XXLF5 stock root ROM

Any suggestion , i use all share a lot and all the HD videos are played with freezes

Guys i have tried many things but still i can not find any sollution .
Please can anybody help????????
my galaxy s connects to 802.11n network to 65Mbps , so i guess it is not my router problem. The strange thing is that the application andromizer says that my device does not support 802.11n set ups.Can somebody download the application and inform what result does he take ?

In addition when i set my router to transmit only to n protocol , my mobile find the network and try to connect but i get a certification error

Please answer the question/statement in the second post:

My phone connects with the router at 75Mbit/s. The router has a reduced late-draft-N protocol with only 2 antennas so it's correctly using the maximum capacity.
If you have the choice, please try e.g. with a N-supporting Fritzbox of the manufacturer AVM or other similar high-end products. Low-end cheap routers tend to have ****ty hardware.

My router is d link DSL 2740B, I think it is a quite good router with 2 antennas, but as I say my other devices connect fine in 802.11n transmition , my Samsung TV , my playstation 3 , even my galaxy s1 connect with 65Mbps.
Here is my router wifi settings, if you have any suggestions

[Q] Who got wifi "N" connection with the 101

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

[Q] 5GHZ Wifi

I was surprised to find that this phone supports bot 2.4GHz and 5GHz for wifi. However, I am having a problem getting it to connect to my 5GHz N radio. It will see it and says that the signal is excellent. I type in my WPA key and hit connect. It attempts to connect then goes back to disconnected. If I click on the name of it, it show signal as poor and link speed as -1Mbps. It connects fine to the 2.4GHz radio. The router is a Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H running DD-WRT. Has anyone else had this issue?
i thought wifi was only 2.4ghz on this phone. my 5ghz network doesnt even show on my phone.
5ghz seems to be working fine for me
only certain 5ghz channels are supported. see if ur router is on channel 36 for 5ghz.

I have been able to use channels 140 and 149 as well as 36. What I did notice is that the first time I connect to (the very first time or if I make a change to the router) the wifi signal will drop and start several times.....I find if I just turn off wifi and turn it back on and reconnect it will hold.
Actually, I have it running on 144 and working now. I had to set the mode from N only to NA mixed.

I've got an apple airport extreme. my evo connects just fine on 5ghz
I have a Cisco ISR wireless router and I use strictly 5Ghz. It's wireless-A, not wireless-N, but it's strictly 5Ghz and it scan and uses whatever channel it wants. No issues so far.
I tried N network a while ago on my older phones (not 5Ghz N) and noticed more battery drain VS G. Since then I have switched my N to 5Ghz and just use my ipad3 for it. My phone I keep on G network. I don't see any real point to having it on a N network. G I still pull 10+ megabits down which is more than enough for pretty much anything the phone can do. Not really worth the extra battery drain in my opinion. My ipad I like on higher speed since I stream MKV files but the phone I think is pointless at least for me.

I actually had the exact same problem as you mentioned. The one thing I wanted to add to your excellent description of problem symptoms is that it says "Authenticating", and that is when it drops the signal to -1Mbps. Something during the authentication process seems to kill the radio connectivity. This has not happened on any of my other 802.11n devices. It connects fine on the same router's 802.11g. I had no issues with my previous phone (Samsung Epic Galaxy S).
Interestingly my router is a different brand but perhaps it shares some similar chipset. My equipment as follows:
Bone stock Sprint HTC Evo 4g LTE (on Ice Cream Sandwich, duhh)
Belkin Play N600 HD Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router (F7D8301 v1)
After reading the other posts here it inspired me to play with my Router configs for 802.11N. Turns out after making some adjustments I was able to get connected.
-I had the following selected:
Wireless Channel: Auto
Extension Channel: 40 (grayed out)
Wireless Mode: 802.11a&n -Worked after changed to 802.11n
Bandwidth: 20/40MHz
Protected Mode: OFF -Worked after changed to On
802.11e/WMM QoS: On
I honestly think it was the Protected Mode that made the difference. Here is what the router help page says about that feature: Protected Mode
NOTE: In most situations, best performance (throughput) is achieved with Protected Mode OFF. If you are operating in an environment with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference, best performance may be achieved with Protected Mode ON.
So long story short, try turning Protected Mode ON in your 802.11n configs first and see if that gets it going for you. Hope that helps!
P.S. After changes above I ran some Speedtest.net for Android tests (back to back) and got the following from the next room over (about 20 feet from router):
Test 1: On 802.11n: 17024kbps down, 5857kbps up, 27ms ping
Test 2: On 802.11n: 18134kbps down, 6266kbps up, 39ms ping
Test 3: On 802.11g: 15385kbps down, 6091kbps up, 25ms ping
Test 4: On 802.11g: 22212kbps down, 5785kbps up, 43ms ping

S3 MAXimum WiFi speed 450mbps

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?

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...

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)

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.

[Q] HTC One won't connect to internet using 5ghz wifi

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?

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?

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.

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.

[Q] Wifi link speed

I am using tp-link tl-mr3220 Wireless N router which is advertised at 150Mbps speeds. When I connect my acer laptop, the speed shows at 150Mbps on wifi card. But when I connect my SE xperia ray the speed shown is only 72Mbps. Why is that? Do I need to modify something?
Please help.

Xperia Ray most likely does not have support for anything above 72Mbps.
And to be realistlic, you will only see a difference, if your ISP provides you with internet of 72Mbps or higher.

I dont know if there is any ISP which provides 72Mbps. Its the lan speed of your internal network created using router. If so, how can laptop show 150Mbps?
I was just curious to know if there is any mod solution for it.

Hmm...when you connected you laptop to your router using LAN it will use the full speed of that router (150Mbps) but if you connect it using Wifi (laptop, pc or phone) the speed is cut in haft (72Mbps)....
there no way to modified it cause all router has the same spec for LAN (full speed) and Wifi (haft connection) connection....

WiFi has the possibility for 150Mbps as well.
This cannot be modified, as this is a hardware level idea, thereby editing software will not increase.
Nevertheless, as said already, this speed only indicates to speed between your device (phone/laptop) and router. The real connection speed depends on your ISP and how fast internet it provides you with.

On what things the wifi signal capturing of the phone depends? hardware, kernel, modules?
My ray stops detecting wifi signal of my router if I move away only 10 feet. No problem with laptop, detects till 50 feet.
I flashed all kernels including stock and all modules available on forums. I am using TP link router.
My friend is having nokia n8 and belkin router at his home. His N8 detects wifi signal even beyond 50 feet. He was laughing at me because my ray couldnt detect the signal while sitting in living room and router placed in bedroom.
