So I have full WiFi bars, but the two arrows next to it, I'm assuming to actually show traffic don't always work all the time and it's starting to really annoy me! YouTube sometimes works, I have to force close the app, re open to watch a video.
I've turned it on and off, rebooted, reconnected the network, any ideas?!
When I was on .69 5ghz didn't work well but 2.4ghz was fine. Now that I'm on .402 it's the opposite.
What's even weirder is both firmwares show 5ghz having better range.

Are you talking about the router setting or on the phone, how do I change on the phone?

I have dual band router(one at 5ghz the other at 2.4ghz), so I have to setup phone to long onto each band.

I just choose to connect to which band I want to use, I have different names for each band.

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)

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?

i gave it a gander, either i'm lookin in the wrong place or i'm really not running 5Ghz
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.

I've had my S3 for two days and not noticed any issues. Tonight, I was downloading the CoPilot map files (200mb) and my WiFi dropped out twice. I've never noticed this before with my S2. Could it be a faulty handset or just an odd glitch? How could I test further?
Same problem here. Vety bad wifi signal

Was same for me, but after changing to the 5Ghz band it works flawlessy. If you dont can change band try to switch to a less used channel in your area.
Thanks for that. It works

people are going to ask you how you did that.
they're going to think some settings or codes to input on the phone.
i just have to say you people meant the settings on your router.
Go to WI-FI settings>>>Advanced>>>Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep>>>always ON.
Don't worry about your battery. It will be not that bad you thinking.
Well, tried the phone on 5Ghz and I got no wireless routers showing up so I assume mine only supports 2.5Ghz (same at work also)?
Edit: is there a way to capture all the WiFi connection/disconnection toast messages? I'm testing it today on my works wifi but I obviously can't sit looking at phone all day
I am getting the same issues, and it's really annoying.
I posted about it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697322

I tried this numerous times but it keeps going back to "Never" - am I alone with that problem?
I am having similar issues with my wifi disconnecting during calls when using my bluetooth headset.
Nobody got real solution to definitivly fix this issue?

I had issues at work. But not at home.
Today I told it to forget my B/G radio and to connect to the N radio. No disconnects, none..
No changes made to the phone at all..
This option to change frequency has dissappeared from my wifi settings since I flashed the latest uk firmware.
As far as the bluetooth goes its because it and wifi are using 2.4 band and the bluetooth polling the phone interrupts the wifi signal.
Not sure if this is the right section or not but here goes. I know that my rooted Photon can receive wifi signals and also act as a wifi hotspot. Here's my question. Has someone made an app or can make an app to receive and repeat external wifi signals? Just curious. Thanks.

Why? If it's an issue of your router's range there are a number of free options to fix it.
Here's the deal, i work on a 3 deck boat, in order for mobilehotspot to get a good signal it needs to be in pilothouse (top deck) which makes for no wifi signal in the galley and crew areas..

Got you. All you need is wifi range extender. Run phone in hotspot mode in an area where it gets good cell service, set up range extender, connect your wifi device to the extender, profit! Granted you will not be able to answer your phone from the other side of the boat but it's a lot cheaper than active cellular repeaters.

So I was hoping to connect to my router via the 5ghz band and if I'm just one level up from where my router (TP-LINK TL-WDR4300 N750) is, it will drop all signal. Even when I'm on the same floor, it won't be at full strength (mostly around 75%). My laptop and iPad has no issue and get a pretty strong signal. Even one computer that's two floors away has no issue connecting at that band. Kind of disappointed with this, but at least the 2.4ghz band runs ok. Not the greatest as well but it'll keep a connection pretty much throughout the house.
How has everyone's Wifi signal been?
Mine has been very crappy as well. Better speeds when NOT using wi-fi.

I blame the router, I upgraded from a trendnet tew-673gru dual band to an Asus rt-n66u dual band and it made a huge difference.

No problems here on a Cisco e4200. One floor up and getting full signal from my router, almost exact bandwidth I get on my wired desktop.

I'm not sure i'll have to check that. Once I do that, I'm going to load DD-WRT for more control over the hardware.
Well, once rooted (and added "Pimp my Rom") wi-fi performance is screamin' fast. Must've been something in the TAR file.

There's actually a few of them. I chose IPV4 (there's actually one named specifically "for faster wi-fi") (I'm paraphrasing but something like that) I chose that one.. then there were a few others. I chose "faster media streaming". Dude, just download it and check it out. Go to network and internet. There's too many tweaks to name.
