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

Hello,
as I've read on the net, i9100 should be a dualband wifi device. 2.4 Ghz AND 5 Ghz ought to be supported.
I that true? Is someone actually using 5 Ghz-only mode or was that just marketing buzz?
greetings
No, it doesn´t connect to 5GHz WLAN
How could I control it ? I don't have anything related to it in my settings' panel ^^'

You are right! I just tried that, and it works just fine.
Thanks for your answers. But which one is correct?
Did you set your Wifi-AP to IEEE 802.11a which is 5Ghz or to 802.11n, which uses 2.4 AND 5 Ghz?
Please some more details. Right now the possibility for dualband is still just 66%
greetings
My case :
My house Router Setting - 2.4ghz band for Wireless G and 5ghz band for Wireless N... Both worked with my phone. But G on 2.4ghz more stable (most of the time 3bar or more), fot N on 5ghz sometime no network coverage.
My router : DLink Quadband DIR825
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I'm using Apple's Time Capsule with both 5 Ghz N and 2.4 Ghz G and N.
As usual 5Ghz is faster but weaker in signal strength.

I tried to set my router to 5GHz mode, and it wouldn´t find the WLAN even if I´m standing next to the Router.
I only tried 802.11n, not 802.11a.
But as others said differently I may give it another try. My Firmware is still KE2, maybe the updated the WLAN-driver later?
I´d actually would like to be able to use 5GHz, as there are quite a few 2,4GHz WLANs next to me, so bandwidth isn´t always the best.
So, whats the case now? Are there several different Hardware/Softwarelayouts on the market or why are there these differences?
Can someone confirm that pure 5GHz wifi works or not, based on trial and error, and post his Firmware-details?
Greetings,
Fenrasa
EDIT:
i googled something VERY interesting:
[Firmware] I9100XXKG1 (Android 2.3.4) (05.07.2011) is supposed to be able to connect to 5GHz Wifis. Can someone try it out and confirm it?
Another poster to the thread wrote, that "KE2 and 7" ought to connect to 5GHz wifi as well.
SOURCE: --cant post link yet, need 8 posts ---
No people some ROM's supporting some NOT !!
Example: Stock Rom -supporting!
and LeoMar75 Rom Revolution
My EU device with KE7 ROM does connect to 5GHz on my WNDR3700 router. IIRC I had to make the SSID visible to make the original connection; once the connection was set up, I then reset the SSID to hidden.
Allright!
Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 on I9100XXKE7 logged into my 5GHz Wifi. (Buildnummer GINGERBREAD.XWKE7)
Thank you all for your help!
Just a follow up question to this:
It appears the GS2 does have 5ghz support at least to some degree.
Is this 802.11a 5ghz, or 802.11n 5ghz, or both? And on a side-note, what's the fastest speed you've got it to negotiate with wifi? On my Galaxy S, even with 802.11n and 10 feet away from my router, I usually max out at 72 mbps.
It definitely supports 802.11n at 5 GHz, as that's how I connect to my home network. I have no idea how fast the link is -- never bothered to check.
Now that I'm at home, I just connected to my 5 GHz 802.11n, and the link speed reported by the SGS2 is 65 Mbps, the same speed I get connecting at 2.4 GHz. I'm sitting about 2 meters from my access point, and the 5 GHz signal strength is only "good", as opposed to "excellent" for the 2.4 GHz.

Interesting, thanks 3waygeek! Glad to hear 5Ghz appears to work with 802.11n.
*Bump*
Anyone else have any experience/input?
5ghz works here too, speeds seem to be faster( not that they matter on real life conditions) but signal ill always be weaker for 5ghz as it doesn't penetrate walls and such as well as 2.4
Sent from Samsung Galaxy S2 on TELUS.
I am quite confused about the statements here regarding the signal ranges of a....n..
can somebody have a look at "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11" they give the largest ranges for ...n signals. The only thing I can confirm is that yes, I can connect to all: a... and ...n..
Well it may be useful to gather a collection of working/not working stats together to find the best rom/kernel/modem combos.
NOT working (5GHz network not detected, Time Capsule with separate named 5GHz channel, picked up fine by Macbook Pro):
ROM: VillainROM 2.4.2
Kernel: 2.6.35.11 ninphetamine 2.0.5, and also 2.1.3
Modem: XXKG6
ROM: LeoMar75 2.6 - XXKH3
Kernel: 2.6.35.11 ninphetamine 2.1.3
Modem: XXKH3
well, for those who can't connect to 5Ghz band, try to adjust channel setting on your router may solve the problem.
My S2 only supports 36-48 channels currently, and I can't find any region option in the setting menu.
BTW, yes, the 5Ghz signaling strength is not as good as 2.4Ghz. However, the trasmission rate (or efficiency) is much better than 2.4Ghz due to less interfere.
Just wanted to know as I can use 5GHz on my Xoom and they are made by the same company. Do any phones allow for Dual Band (Wireless N 2.4 & 5 GHz)? Just wondering. Would love to use me Netgear 4000 (N750) on my Photon in 5GHz mode Thanks
No. The photon does not have the radio for it. 2.4 ghz only.
Very few mobile devices have 5ghz n support. I know a few tablets that support it, but know of no smartphones that support it.
I have been trying this also for a long time. I believe there is a hardware difference too, I have an hp envy with the dual band and a hp dv6t that will not see the 5ghz network, I switched the wifi cards arrond to see if I was able to get the dv6t on the 5ghz and I got a "hardware not supported" (speficicating it was the wifi card) and the computer will not even start. So I do not think is just about antenas...
I was wondering if any prime owners tryed to connect on a N-Only wifi?? on the box it says a/b,g,n wireless but when i try to set my wifi to N-Only, i can see the network but theirs no way the prime is connecting to it. I have to switch it back to either Mixed or G/N Mixed, and then im able to connect with a max connectivity with router of 54mbps. This problem was present before and after ICS update, my router is a Asus RT-N12 (tryed with stock firmware, updated stock firmware and with DDWRT). I Would like to know if any of you guys tryed this out I feel i'v been kinda scammed
PS. (I checked out on Q&A for the prime and couldnt find any post related to this if you guys know there is already one, please just give me the link i'll continu posting on the other thread thanks)
I can't connect to my "N" router either. Mine doesn't even show up in my TF.
is it a TF prime or the first one?
N-5ghz is not supported, putting it in 2.4Ghz mode should work (at least, it does on mine... whether there's a difference or not is another thing)
I can connect my prime to my router with N only as long as its on 2.4GHZ and between channels 1-11. I wish I could pick up 12-14 because I live in an apartment complex with crowded wifi. Router is Cisco E2000 with DDWRT firmware...
The link speed showing on the network signal app only maxes at 54 mbps though. I can stream 1080p mp4s from my network drive though so its fast enough for me...
RT-N12 is operating on 2.4ghz and does not support 5ghz. Are you sure you are in "N-Only" mode or are you in "Mixed"??
This has been discussed in great detail in general section. Its known Prime can't connect to 5Ghz. set it to 2.5 or G only. G only seems tl yield best results. also check this article out..might help.
www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-basics/30664-5-ways-to-fix-slow-80211n-speed
Yes, it connects 2.5 N only but the performance is pathetic. Prior to ICS, I got curious changing my 2.5 GHz band to strictly G. Saw an immediate boost in performance + speeds.
Yes so far I am very disappointed. I just got the Prime today and it immediately updated to ICS. Once that was done I started checking out the wifi ability right away, because of all the bad reports all over the internet. Much to my surprise, mine doesn't see my wireless N either. I had the TF101 prior and it worked fine with my router. My Samsung E4GT phone sees it just fine, and what really hurts is my wife's iPad 2 sees it, connects to it and pulls just under 20mbps speeds.
To say this sucks is an understatement. I hate losing to Apple in any way, and here I am with the latest and greatest Android tablet, and being punked by a nearly year old IOS device.
Crap
I have no wifi issues with my N router... Performance can be a little better (speed wise) but no issues connecting at all, my router is cisco

What do you stream over 5ghz network to iPad? 1080p movies? It redundant...just turn down to 2.4 and everyone is happy.
Having a technically higher spec which does not improve on daily usage is redundant.

Exactly, the prime doesn't support the 5Ghz frequency. Only supports 2.5ghz N or whatever. There's only a few tablets that do actually support 5ghz. All it takes is a simple change n it'll work. THE whole argument that it should work on any network is b.s. Especially if you have it set to something not supported. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
I've always used N-Only. I get a decent connection to my Transformer Prime with it too.
Mines is the cheap Belkin N150 router so I doubt it does that 5Ghz range as that seem like a setting for a higher priced N router.

Point 1: Your are in the US, so you are not allowed using anything except 1-11 by FCC regulations.
Point 2: N-Only often turns on channel bonding in soho equipment like yours, so it needs 8 full channels to use it properly. Each channel is 5 MHz apart from the other and a WiFi device uses channels in a/b/g that are 20 MHz wide, in 11n with channel bonding (which is an optional feature for the high data rates) they use channels of 40 MHz. So dividing the 40 Mhz by 5 Mhz makes using of channel 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7. If you would live in Japan, on only country that is allowed to use channel 14. So for US it would be channel 11-4. This explains why channel bonding in the 2.4 GHz band is a band ides unless you are living in a big ranch 500 feet away from the next WiFi router.

Cool device, taken from the specs page of belkin.com:
Security: Wi-Fi Protected Setup, 256-bit WEP (64-128bit), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2- PSK (AES) with WPS Push Button
Range of up to 1,000 ft.
Link Rate: Up to 150Mbps in 40MHz Channel Mode Bandwidth 20 MHz & 20/40 MHz auto
ISP Protocols Supported Dynamic, Static, PPPoE, PPTP, Telstra Bigpond, L2TP
Compliant Standard IEEE 802.11b, 802.11g
So no 11n support per specs, but the Overview page tells 150 MBits are supported, so it can run 75 Mbits without channel bonding and 150 with.
Try out the WiFi Widget it tells you the data rate to the WiFi router.

I spent the extra money to purchase a dual band router, so I could broadcast N and G as two separate signals. As I understand it, if you broadcast both on a single signal, and you have some older devices that require and connect to the G band, it will automatically cut the speed back, to whatever the slowest device connected is capable of. At least that is the way it was explained to me. So the N was on 5ghz and G was on 2.4ghz. It has always worked with any other wireless N device I have had, until I got this "latest and greatest" tablet. So yes now I have downgraded my wireless network to only 1 band, to accommodate the Prime.

If you have 2.4ghz g network, prime should be able to detect it. Check if your dual band is working properly...
Wireless n is impt only if you stream HD movies. I stream music on g with no problem at all.
I know you feel frustrated, and I know it sucks as prime is supposed to be PRIME. If you intend to stream HD movies to prime you may have to "down grade" to 2.4ghz if not wireless N is kind of overrated or "miss used" as I see no use of having to stream HD to non HD devices. If you are a home theater enthusiastic or business it then wireless n 5mhz is a must.
Hope you can move on to appreciate the quad core of prime than dwelling on this issue.
Cheers!

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.

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.

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?

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.
