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

YOU still haven't got 5ghz wifi to work? What kind of wifi router are you using?

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.

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.

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

Hi, I have a problem which I cannot make hotspot by using 5ghz band. I found that my second phone which is LG G3 have an option to choose 5ghz band as hotspot. Is there anyway to make it happen?

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

makes problems.. So, please can someone close this thread?

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

Hi, I have the T835 and I have the same problem. It disconnects 5 ghz, problem since I bought it.
Sorry, I'm wrong with thread
Hello,
I am running latest LineageOS. I can't seem to get more than about 50mbit on 4G (with ookla speedtest), with same SIM card, on an iPhone7 I get about 150mbit consistently at same location. I am not sure if this is related to 4G+/LTE-A not functioning. I see only LTE text on the top bar.
In another note, a friend of mine is running original OS and he says he gets 50mbit on wifi with max2, with his iPhone7 on same wifi accesspoint he gets 80-90mbit. (he couldnt test 4G because of bad signal quality in his location),
So, first of all, how can I tell if my phone is using 4G+/LTE-A or not? Do you get better 4G speeds?
How can I test where is the bottleneck exactly? Any hints?
Update:
I now made more tests. Cheap Chinese tablet with mtk6797 chip does about 100mbit in the same location.
At home I tried 5g WiFi and when phone said 433mbps, the download speed from samba server was about 48mbit (server is connected to wifi ap directly with gigabit Ethernet)
Thanks!
Noop, I am on T-Mobile, 100m+ on band 4 all the time
@cgigate which max2 model you have? which OS are you using? and which modern/baseband version?
My provider use band 3 but I don't think it is the issue. Because I get similar result with WiFi which is very strange. Also, do you see LTE+ or something different than LTE as connection icon?
@cgigate I think you must be sitting next to antenna all the time. I managed to get 80mbit when base station antenna was 50m away from me and I was very close. My provider use B3 and B7 which should be supported with any version of max2....

I own two MAX 2 (x820 and X829), both are same on stock 23s.
yes, my house near a good t-mobile towers for sure ...especially on band 4, sometime on band 2 or 12 , those bands are much slower...
@cgigate can you check my previous post? I had some questions for you there how do you see which brand you are on?

You cannot see the band actually. You know the band you are on by knowing what your network provider uses.

Use LTE discovery APP and turns on "Live" mode you will see the real-time which band you are on, see my screen capture you will know I am on LTE band 2

Do you need root ???
I use the same app on lineageos and it needs root.
But I am not sure still why my max2 is performing so bad.
Anyway, I downgraded my service connection speed to 21mbit now and have no more speed problems I think there is some sort of problem in max2 which is causing this.

No root needed for "LTE discovery" app to get band info

No, "LTE discovery" app dose not need "root" to get RF band info on lineageos
although, there is option to choose "root" from the app to get more info. but if you only want to know what band you are on , no "root" needed
@cgigate if I dont select the root option. It only shows me the signal strength. I don't quite understand how everything works for you and nothing works for me lol.
See the screenshots with it selected and not selected. I also attached one from phone info...you tell me if anything is different? I really dont understand how this can happen....
@cgigate can you send screenshot from your phone info? or what os are you using and what is your baseband modem firmware version?
