Is there any way that we can choose what frequency we we in the wifi advance settings? I am able to change on wife's m8 and my previous n6. Just can't do it on this v10. Any one can add this or know how to change it. The only way I can get the speeds that I pay for is on the 5ghz frequency. I went through 3 routers to figure out why my wifi was slow and not getting the speeds I used too and it's due to the frequency. Thank you

I must not understand you question.
The WiFi frequency is determined what network you choose, and the router assigns the frequency to the network.
At home I have both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghs networks but I have different names associated with them so that when I select a WiFi network I knwo which one.

Yes I had the linksys router and had two different settings like you. But it crapped out just after 3 days of owning it and now have the asus onhub by Google. I just want to change the settings myself and not have the wifi and the phone determine what's best. From the wifi settings advance settings. But right now it seems like it's working on the 5ghz frequency.

You can also disable the 2.4Ghz in the router that way it only has one choice.
But that is if you have no one using the 2.4Ghz.

Hi guys, anyone can help me out here with regards to connecting our SGS2 to Wireless N network? I have tried changing my radio frequency setting and even resorted to using WEP authentication instead of WPA, but I just can't get the phone to connect via N network, it always connects via G instead. But under the same settings, I am able to connect my acer laptop and my wife's iphone4 to the N network.
Is there any specific settings I need to configure on my router? I am using a Prolink H5004N adsl2+ modem with wireless N router. The modem is compliant to IEEE 802.11n standards, not draft-n and should work with the SGS2?

Not sure, but I think that it will connect if your N-network are in the 2.4 GHz frequency area, but not in the 5.0 GHz

Yup, tried that too, but still connects to G only. I have also tried configuring router to accept only N networks instead of G/N, but then the SGS2 will not even see the SSID when its performing a wireless scan.

Ive got the same issue. Router Asus RT-N16 (b/g/n, 2.4GHz). Playing with different router firmwares, settings and so on - no luck so far.
Check the "advanced" settings by pressing the menu button in the wireless and make sure nothing wierd is set in there.
Otherwise, as long as the router is set to N only on the 2.4ghz band, it should at _least_ see the SSID.
That modem supports WPS, try pressing the WPS button on the back of the modem and then use the "WPS button connection" option in the wi-fi settings menu on the SGS2.
Remember the single-channel 802.11n 2.4ghz such as the SGS2 supports will only max out at 72mbps anyway so there's not a huge improvement over the 54mbps that 11g will give you, although 11n is more efficient.

I've got the same unit and it works fine with it, that said I'm running a recent build of the Tomato firmware on mine. I don't think I even powered it up fully with the original firmware...

thx for fast reply
SGS2 can see SSID, but fails to connect until I force RT-N16 (with custom firmware, RT-N16-1.9.2.7-rtn-r3121) down to "Use 802.11 G only".
Never had any problems with other 802.11 N powered devices.
only wpa2-aes or no encryption are N-standard

wireless N only officially supports either WPA2-AES encryption or no encryption. Devices with drivers that more closely comply to the spec will not connect to WEP or WPA.
I hope you fixed the issue. I stumbled across this thread while asking the same question; maybe someone else will benefit by having this thread wrapped-up also. No haters, egos, persons, etc please. It's been necessary already to block a few of you.
I am not able to connect my Transformer Prime with my new Asus N66U router. I tried all channels and security settings and it only connected when to the router with open system setting. I am able to connect it to my old Netgear WDR3700 in good speed without any problems. Does anyone run into similar situation?
I have the rt-n66u router as well and never had a problem. Are you sure you are using the right encryption settings, Do other devices connect, have you updated the router's firmware? There was a new update just today.
http://support.asus.com/download.as...T-N66U (VER.B1)&os=&hashedid=PZkFHlMrGWzVROxT
have you ensured your router has the latest firmware?
I have the N56u model and no issues.
Yes, I have the latest firmware. My Galaxy Nexus connects just fine. The Transformers Prime actually see the router with strong signal. It just refuses to connect to it. BTW I set the router using WPA-PSK.
Is your prime running the latest update? Or, have you tried DD-WRT?
I have the latest firmware in both devices. However, my Prime is the first batch and may suffers from wifi issues. I may have to try Tomato or Dd-wrt firmware.

Some routers let you disable the broadcasting of the network name (SSID). Computers/network cards that conform correctly with the 802.11 specification will refuse to connect. Have you checked the settings for both 2.4 and 5GHz? - of course the router should not allow disabling of the SSID!
odd. Try wiping the data. Small pin hole in back of router. Reset it. Then 192.168.1.1. go in there and reenter your SSID etc on wireless.
For ****s and giggles. Pump up your 80mw Tx power of wireless to around 160mw. I been running 160mw tx power for awhile and have not and any problems. This baby can go all the way up to 500mw. Of course that is U.S. FCC range limit. With 500mw you can see your wireless from few blocks away.
If your prime is connecting to your other wireless router. Then has to do with some setting in on the RTN66U. Hopefully the wipe will clear any setting in the firmware.
Forgot to mention. Your prime will only connect to the 2.4ghz. It won't connect to the 5ghz wireless.
Did that already. My Transformer does see the 2.4 Ghz SSID with very strong signal. It just keeps reconnecting and fails to connect again eventually. My Galaxy Nexus can connect in a very good speed. Change back to my old Netgear WDR3700 and my transformer connects to it right away. It seems to me that the problem is the security encryption as connection is established right away in open system. However, it just refuse to connect on whatever setting I tried.

What are the WiFi standards on the Router set to?
Sometimes when a router is set to b/g/n (all combined) it can lead to issues.
I generally keep mine at b/g (no n) on the 2.4 Mhz band, since my n devices run on my router's 5 Ghz band anyway. Try that out.
I tried "auto", "legacy" and "n only" with or without "b and g protection" but still could not connect to the router in any combinations. Will like to know the feedback from anyone who put Tomato on N66U.
If you have kept the same SSID as your old router did you delete the old network settings for that SSID in your TP? Also try a new SSID on the router.
If the router supports WiFi Multimedia (WMM) try disabling it and re-enable it after a connection has been made.
I presume you would know if you had enabled an allowed devices table -MAC addresses. The only other thing I can think of is the size of the "hello I'm here" beacon that the router transmits is too long for the TP and I think that would only be an issue with a very long SSID
Yes, I do keep the old SSID. However, I did forget the network and reconnect to it again in Transformer. My SSID is less than 10 characters. It seems to me that the Transformer is not able to get an IP nor pass the authentication stage.

Well. Go under advanced settings and then Wireless.
Wireless -General tab.
Frequency click (2.4ghz).
Your SSID (name).
Hide SSID = (No)
Wireless Mode put in (N Only).
Control Channel (1).
Channel Bandwidth (20mhz).
Authentication Method (WPA2-Personal).
WPA Encryption (AES).
Enter your WPA Pre-Shared Key (password for SSID).
Network Key Rotation Interval to (0).
Wireless -Professional Tab
Frequency (2.4ghz)
Enable Radio (yes)
Date to Enable Radio (Check all days)
Set AP Isolatd (No)
Multicast Rate (Disable)
RTS (2347)
DTIM (3)
Beacon (100)
Enable TX burst (Enable)
Enable Wireless Multi (Disable)
Enable WMM (Enable)
Tx Power adjustment (80)
Try those settings. See what happens.
Will try it as soon as I get back home. Thanks.
I am finally able to get my Transformer connecting to my RT-N66U router by changing the SSID to a new one. The speed and range are not better to my old Netgear WDR3700 though. Thanks for all the help anyway.

Good to hear!
I've had the occasional connectivity problem with mine, on certain routers I can get connection but no online connectivity.
some routers use a nonstandard DHCP range (i think it may the ones that utilise 192.168.1.x) anyway, if you encounter this it's simple to correct once you know you simply define a manual ip on the prime for that connection and voila! :>

Cool. Glad you got it working.
Well you can always try and pump your TX power adjustment from the default 80 to 160 or more. I was able to increase my range. I think the max is like 500mw the chip is rated at. However, I havent tried that high. I don't want to burn out my chip. Plus heat increases dramatically at those higher mw's. You would have to toss a little laptop cooler underneath it. (run via the routers usb port there).
My connection problem happens again. Just in case someone has similar issue, I solve the problem by exchanging a new one from store.

I have the n66u too and have no issues.
I previously disabled 5Ghz frequency from Settings - WIFI - Advanced as previously I only had a b/g WIFI
Now I have bought Asus dual band a/b/g/n router+access point but my phone cannot see the 5Ghz network. It can see and connect to 2.4Ghz
I tried to enable 5Ghz but that option is not showing in WIFI advanced settings anymore!!
I have already reset and flashed new samsung firmware but that option is still not there..
1. Is there anyway to check if my phone is using 5Ghz?
2. Is there any secret code to enabled wireless frequency?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Bump. I just got a brand new sgs3 (was a sgnote user), for some reason my sgs3 can't see my home 5ghz. I tried to Google and search about this issue but came up empty. My now sold sgnote and my others gadgets laptops etc. don't have any problem with this. Currently I'm on stock DLI8 and did flashed other stock Firmware and no juice. 2.4ghz working great but I need 5ghz as I live in congested 2.4 neighborhood. Hoping some kind soul could enlighten me about this issue.
WIFI cannot see 5Ghz access point [FIXED]
For those owners whose device can't see wifi 5ghz frequency, your device is not broken which I thought mine was.
The remedy is simple, set your wifi country to EU, JP, or others same as your routers bands, as samsung default was set to US ( my router E4200 is APAC region ).
Use RootExplorer and SQLite editor ( these apps from the same dev ) and go to "/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" in "secure" table, look for "wifi_country_code=XX" change XX to JP as in my case. Reboot your wifi. Et voila ! There it is my 5GHZ SSID !! :good:

Hi, my i9300 can see the SSID of WiFi 5GHz and is able to connect to it successfully. But it cannot auto-connect to the SSID of WiFi5GHz when the WiFi is disable and then enable. or i9300 device is rebooted, or come back to the room with WiFi 5GHz. This issue doesn't happen on WiFi 2.4GHz.
Did you encounter this issue?

Great, my auto-connection problem is resolved after changing the wifi_country_code to JP, but when I reboot the device, the value of the wifi_country_code has been restored to the orginal value. How to finallized it?
Thank you very much, My phone suddenly stoped detecting all wifi routers, it couldnt detect anything, and when i changed the country to Japan, it could detect again.
I'm having trouble with keeping my Redmi Note 2 connected to home Wi-Fi. In the Wi-Fi menu, it often shows "Authentication problem". I am not experiencing this issue with any other Wi-Fi connection. Also, I have double checked to make sure the password is correct, and it definitely is not a password problem as it sometimes works.
I've even tried changing the password of my router, as well as the SSID (router wireless network name) to something else, thinking that it may have been a factor. Both methods did not help.
In addition to this, I am getting very poor reception at home for my data connection speeds. I don't think this is an issue with the phone though, as an iPhone 6S at home also has poor reception. However, I'm trying to figure out how to reset the network settings and I can't find it anywhere in the menus..
Would appreciate any assistance! Thanks.
More info.
What rom?
Which router, running which band?
Are you using n speeds, dual channels, single channel, wpa, wpa2 etc.
First thing I would try is set the router to G only (WPA_PSK). If that doesn't work, change the channel. Asus routers (the cheaper ones - e.g. NM10) can go coo coo bananas and fail to authenticate random devices, while others work just fine.
Try upgrading to the latest stable global xiaomi.eu rom. Get it here. Also, read the instructions how to flash there.

Sorry. Using SMIUI 7 by sebsch1991 (according to Settings -> About, based on 5.11.5).
I haven't fixed the problem yet.. but I realise that the Wi-Fi issue seems to "reset" itself after I restart. So whenever I notice that the Wi-Fi is no longer connecting, I just restart my Redmi Note 2 and it is able to connect again. Seems to occur in 24-hr loops?
I am using a D-Link DIR-865L. I have two bands (2.4GHz and 5.0GHz). Using the highest level of security I think? In my router settings, it shows I am using WPA/WPA2 (auto mode so it adapts to the device I believe). 802.11 mode is mixed (n, g and b).
The network settings issue I haven't found a fixed for yet, but to be honest haven't looked very far.. and I think it may be a telco issue.

When I first started trying out different ROMs, I found a few of them gave me WiFi issues with different networks. Some networks would behave normally, others wouldn't connect at all. I believe SMIUI was one of the ones that gave me trouble with at least one of the networks I use regularly, so I had to go with a different ROM.
I can't guarantee that you're having the same issue, but swapping ROMs is my best advice.
I'm using a Pixel 2, with the latest updates, and I'm constantly getting issues when roaming WiFi within my house.
I have 3 AP's from Mikrotik, properly configured, and I don't have no issues at all with other devices like my iPad or Surface Pro/Book, etc.
But once in a while, my Pixel get's stuck in the state "Connected, No Internet" and it keeps retrying... until after a couple of minutes (5 or more) it properly connects...
Is there a way to disable this?
Another thing that I've noticed is that often the device only connects to the WiFi (switching from LTE) only when I unlock it or wake up the device. Have anyone noticed something similar with Pixel 2 or other devices? Any recommendations?
Cheers,
anthonws.
Hey, I don't own a Pixel but a Note9 but would certainly try to help you.
Do you have 2.4 Ghz router or do you connect to a 5 GHz SSID? If yes to the former, have you tested different channels. Interference in some rare cases can cause unstable internet. You can use the Wifi Analyzer app on the play store to test.
I had fixed a similar problem on my older S7e by assigning static IP to it. Try this as well. Static IP can be configured on your router as well as on your device itself.
Android do has options to set Wifi Aggressiveness. See if you have set Wifi Aggressive Mode (it connects to Mobile data even if Wifi is slightly unstable). There's also two more options (in developer options) that are worth checking: Wifi safe mode and Wifi power saving mode.
I understand that these options are hard to find and that's what made me initiate this guide. Do have a look.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. My WiFi is properly tuned. No channel overlapping. I'm using 5Ghz band only, same SSID and different channels, and bespoke antenna gains to reduce signal overlap.
None of those options are available in Google Pixel 2. No Power Save Mode and no Safe Mode. Only the option to have Mobile connectivity in background for Fast Switching.
My ask is more towards on how to disable the connectivity check from Android. Nothing else. I know I have Internet access. I know my AP's are all working properly. It's just something with Android...
