[Q] Xperia Tablet S wifi n,dual band ? - Sony Tablet S

Hi all,
I own the tablet about 2 months without troubles ,i read that the tablet can connect to 2.4 & 5GHz bands ,is this correct ?
Today i installed a Netgear WNDR3700 to my network but the tablet cannot see the 5GHz band ssid ..
So can or not .? has somebody successfully connected the tablet to 5GHz band ?
Edit:
Ok after a lot of tries ,changed the region to US and the channel to 149 and now the tablet connect and lock to 150mbps ,quite big difference with browsing etc..

Have exact same router works fine here with xperia tablet s.
Are you sure you have 5 ghz enabled on router ?

I changed the region in the router ,so gave me more channels options..not in the tablet

I would do some research on what channels are legal in your country some channels are illigal on 5g in some country's.

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.

Is everyone sure about this??? I have a wireless N setup, photon connected fine, running about 65Mbps with good signal

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

oh, my mistake, but i'm pretty sure i have it at 5Ghz, cause i have my N network and a G network setup (for some of the laptops in the house) on the same router

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.

Weird... What channel my AP supposed to be at? I've heard the Note sees only 4 channels on A band...
And how do I invoke 5GHz screen in Wifi Analyzer to see the spectrum same way as in 2.4GHz?
In wifi, select options button ( left touch button) go to Advance ,
In wifi frequency band , make sure its Auto.

In Advanced, I don't see the frequency band. I see:
WiFi sleep policy
MAC address
Proxy
Port
IP Address
Then goes IP settings group.
I have i717R from Rogers like yours, build number is GINGERBREAD.248

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?

Certain features are blocked on some of carrier specific bloatware Roms.
Like At&T stock Rom doesn't allow NFC.

Wi-Fi 5GhZ

Does xperia S connect to 5GhZ networks?
Yes.
Sent from my EPAD using Tapatalk 2
.... Err, I think you will find, the Xperia S (in the UK anyway) will not receive 5Ghz WiFi signals.
My router is dual band, as is some of my equipment, but, when tested, the Xperia S, did not 'see' the 5Ghz signal.
Hope this helps.......................

Is it actually legal in the UK? I think it depends on your region.
Just looked there.
Using a WNDR3800, which is legal in the UK and Ireland btw, and it seems I cant see my 5Ghz AP. Pick up the supporting three 2.4s but not it.
Not that an XS needs those speeds though, only real point would be in a place with a huge amount of EMI.

SM-T825 WIFI 5GHz instable connection

Hi,
I bought the tab last friday. While playing around I noticed that Wifi does an
endless reconnect-loop when using 5 GHz Wifi. 2 GHz works fine..
Could anybody please try? Turn off your router's 2 GHz and use 5 only.
Watch the Wifi nenu in your tab.
Thanks

My tablet is connected to 5 gigahertz exclusively and has never dropped the connection. You may want to take a look at your router's wifi settings.
I have a brand new Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820 Wifi version, and I have two wireless routers in my home. One is a RavPower ND007, the other a DLink DIR-813. Both are dual band routers. On both, I have the 2.4 GHz network and 5 GHz networks names differently. Every other device in my home - including a number of Samsung devices - connects to all four networks with no problem.
However, my Galaxy Tab S3 does not. When connecting to the Rav, it shows "Connected, No Internet", and can't communicate at all. It won't even connect to the DIR-813 at all.
It connects flawlessly to the 2.4GHz networks on both routers.
Both of the routers, and the Tab, all have the latest available firmwares/updates.
So it's definitely the Tab S3, and definitely a 5GHz problem.
Not sure how to report this to Samsung, but I'm going to try...
defenitley YES, 5G problem...

Last Sunday I forgot to turn off Wifi 5G on my router and used my Tab S3.... Reconnect each 2 seconds... Super Quality, Thanks a lot to Samsung..
And just to clarify - 5G works with the same router and my Phone S8 perfectly, so it is NOT a rouoter issue...
I've been using 5G exclusively as our SSID is 5G specific and never had an issue with WiFi. Solid connection 100% of the time. Netgear Nighthawk X8 here.

Will try to install the latest update this weekend, without any modifications. If 5G still does not work, I will send the Tab to samsungs repair-center, as it still will be covered by warranty.
Either it is a problem with modem-driver or Hardware..
But nevertheless, this is the very first device showing up this problem with 5G.
If Samsung is not capable to solve, this will be my last product purchased from this brand...
I did send my Tab to Samsung repair center in Germany. Will receive it today, but I already know that they did not find any problem, all fine..
Well - but they did not give me a detailed test-report yet... So I dont know what and how they tested..
Will return the Tab to my local dealer for replacement..
I'd like to test with a different SM-T825...
Reading this I haven't seen that you've tried updating your router's firmware. If you haven't try that too. I'm not sure if when you say "install latest update" if that's the router or the tab.

Just by chance I found out, that 5G works if no SIM inserted. And IF SIM is inserted, it MUST be active. In flightmode and then activate WIFI does NOT work..
This is very suspicious... I hope that SOON we will find a working lineage for the galaxy tab S3...
Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820 Wifi version and dual band 5ghz
Hmm, I just updated my modem as per better speeds from Comcast, but I also need a new router that would take advantage of the bandwidth and the 802.11ac dual band standard so that I can get to the 5ghz band.
I own a Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820 WiFi and before I get a new router, I want to know if the WiFi adapter in the Tablet would pick up on the 5ghz band with a new router. Is there any type of updates or drivers or am I okay?
Thank you,
Jon
I'm on 5Ghz all the time. No issues.
Great news !!
I asked the question after I learned about the variety with routers and especially since I found out that my laptop's WiFi adapter only supports b,n,g and that I would need to buy a USB WiFI adapter for my laptop or somehow change the adapter chip inside my laptop to take advantage of the 802.11ac dual protocol.
Thank you, Jon
I have the t825 version, unfortunately I have problems with the 5 Ghz connection.
I hope Samsung releases an update to fix the connection problem and to improve the camera

5Ghz Wifi not detecting

Hi,
I just got a new realme 7, and when i search for my wi-fi network it doesnt show de 5ghz, only the 2.4ghz.
I dont have any problem detecting the 5ghz on the PC and others mobile phones.
My router have the wifi 5ghz on the channel 149, so that shouldnt be a problem.
This has already happened to someone??
Best regards,
Rui Pinto

Hi, it might be that the 5 GHz Band you selected is banned in the country you are right now. Your PC or your other phones might not use this new and annoying feature but your realme 7 does. Try to google which bands are allowed in your country and set your router accordingly.
I had the same problem before with a router I bought in Germany and my phone connected just fine there. Then I brought the router to Indonesia and the same phone suddenly could not see my router anymore. Reason was that my router was set to auto-channel selection and in Indonesia only 4 channels are legal. After choosing manually one of the 4 channels it worked fine again.
Hope this helps
