Since getting my replacement EVO LTE, I have been having weird WiFi problems. I can connect to 5GHz WiFi networks without any problems, and the phone shows great signal strength. However, when connected via WiFi, most programs (Chrome, Play Store, etc.) can't access the internet. The weird thing is that the Speedtest.net has no problems running when I'm connected to a 5GHz network, and I get speeds around 15Mbps. The internet works perfectly when I'm connected to the exact same router at 2.4GHz, and my laptop has no problems on my 5GHz network.
Anyone else encountered this? The fact that Speedtest.net works makes me think it's not a hardware issue, but my old EVO LTE didn't do this.
Sorry to hear. Honestly I didn't know we had 5 ghz wifi. Thanks for the info.

I have a dual-band router and my 5Ghz band connects and transfers data at 60Mbps.
What ROM are you running? What kernel?
Connect to your 5Ghz band and wait about a minute. Then in the WiFi settings, tap on your network name and what is the speed it is connected at?

Has anyone else had issues with the strength of the wi-fi signal on this phone? When I'm in certain areas of my house, I will have severe lag with browsing, with the People hub, etc. Music and video will stream poorly, with heavy buffering. Basically, I get all the signs of low signal. The problem is, I've never had a problem with other phones I've used, including an HD7, Dell Venue Pro, Nexus S, Nokia N8, etc.
I tested the WiFi signal in these areas, and I get back a consistent signal between 70dbm - 80dbm, so I have a moderate amount of signal to work with. Has anyone else noticed poor WiFi coverage with this phone? Should I get it exchanged?
Same. Something is definitely fishy with the wi-fi on this device. It seems to come and go, and manifests as poor or even no wi-fi capability even when the phone says it is connected to a strong wi-fi signal.
I frequently cannot get a solid Tango video call going between 2 Radars on my home wi-fi network. Pretty frustrating seeing "network problems" and getting a choppy experience when both phones are on wi-fi with full signal strength.
My WiFi is solid with my N router
Today is my first day with the radar and I'm noticing WiFi issues. I think though some of it is related to Zune WiFi sync connecting...

For the people connected to 802.11n routers, are your routers in pure N mode?
The Radar I have can connect to my 802.11g router no problem but can't even find my 802.11n. I'm thinking it doesn't have N connectivity...
Just asking.
Mine is BGN

I found out my particular problem is the Windows Phones only work on the 2.4ghz (currently used on my 802.11g router) band and not the 5ghz (my 802.11n router) band.
Now I know.
To the OP, this 2.4ghz band is usually crowded so maybe where you are going in your house, your phone is meeting with interference (land line wireless phone, neighbors wi-fi, etc...).

I don't think it's an interference issue, as every other device I own has no such issues, including 3 other Windows Phones (Dell Venue Pro, HD7 Omnia 7). And despite already using the channel with the least interference, I've tried switching that around as well. To me, there is clearly something not performing correctly in regards to the WiFi radio on this device.
Hello everyone,
I have bought a Transformer Prime last summer and it's an awesome tablet until now but it has a flaw as everyone knows with its WiFi. I can get no reception at all if I am at a distance from the router and sometimes this is bad.
My HTC Desire though never loses signal and with its 3g connectivity it is great. So I sometimes share my Data connection to my prime and surf the internet but now I have a question and it seems I cannot answer it online.
Is there a way I can share the WIFI connection OVER WIFI ??? If I open Wifi Hotspot the connection is lost. As I see it, there can only be a mode at once, either client or as a hotspot.
Is there a way to make your phone both ? In other worlds can I connect to a wifi connection and share it at the same time ?
Thank you
No, you can't, I think because there's only one antenna.
You can use a range extender or a router with this function, but it's surely more expensive.
You need a wireless repeater or range extender. It's not that expensive.
Buy Two routers that support ddwrt or tomato. They are pretty cheap now unless you want a Simultaneous Dual-Band Wireless-N router.
This is my set up.
Belkin Play N600 HD Wireless Dual-Band N+ Router - $30 from 1salesaday.
Flashed Tomato 1.28 firmware
Wireless 1 : Wifi - G 2.4Ghz
Wireless 2: Wifi - N 5Ghz
I have another old Asus RT-N12 on 2nd floor.
I think I paid $30 from newegg long time ago.
Flashed ddwrt and set it up as repeater. It basically connects to Belkin Wifi -G and broadcast wifi-G under another SSID
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Universal_Wireless_Repeater
Wireless 3 : Wifi - G 2.4Ghz
This might work but it's still a wired connection.
Disconnect your phone from mobile data, connect to your wifi router, plug in the USB from your tablet to your phone, enable USB tethering on your phone.
This way your phone is acting like an access point for your tablet. I've used this method on old desktops that can't connect to wireless routers but it might also work when an Android tablet is receiving the signal.
Connect your phone to wifi, share your connection with your tablet via bluetooth.

Ive read many people complaining about LTE, but does anyone else have issues connecting to 3g? Almost always when I leave WiFi range my phone wont connect to 3g unless I restart entire phone.
Sometimes Ill pull out my phone at random places to use google search or something and Ill have full bars but no internet connection (Yes my mobile network is set to on).
This problem happens next to my girlfriends galaxy which works just fine.
Its driving me nuts!
Happens to me alllll the time. I have to turn off wifi to get my phone to connect to the mobile network. Otherwise I'll be 30 miles from home and still "Connected to Wifi"
I thought HTC fixed the Wi-Fi connectivity issue in the latest ota, or was that just the one x

Originally i had that issue on my EVO LTE. but after the updates its been fixed.
Ironically my GS3 started to not want to connect to 3G after it was in an LTE area..
So i have been using my ole reliable EVO LTE..
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...

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.
I could have sworn I read a similar issue on here but can't find it now. I have an Asus RT-AC66U Dual Band 802.11ac router. Its supposed to be top of the line. Every other device connected to this router works perfectly fine except my z2. The phone shows it's always connected to the wifi network, but my Internet access randomly cuts out. I have to disable wifi and re-enable it for it to start working again. Usually only lasts a few minutes before it cuts out again. Very annoying. Does anyone know a fix for this? Perhaps a setting on my router?
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would like to know this too, same thing happens with my Z2 (I have a RT-N66U), oddly enough the rest of my devices does not suffer from this issue.
I somewhat fixed the issue.. I called Asus support and a technician walked me through the settings on the router. I still have issues connecting to the 2.4ghz frequency, but the 5ghz is fine. Only issue is the 5ghz signal doesn't travel as far as the 2.4ghz signal. I'm going to call Asus again when I return from vacation to see if there's a better fix. For some reason the z2 has issues connecting to some 2.4ghz routers.
