My tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S2) and phone (Samsung Galaxy S7) both support dual band wifi (2.4 and 5 ghz), but only one or the other, while my router supports SIMULTANEOUS dual band. Is there any way for a custom rom to be configured with simultaneous dual band wifi, bonding the two channels into one connection? Or is this physically impossible due to hardware limitations?

We don't seem to have a Q and A section yet for the SII. Just ordered mine but still finding out more about it. The Samsung website mentions it has dual channel wifi and that means it is much faster. Sorry but what is dual channel wifi? Can't seem to find a simple explanation. Do you need to have a particular router or anything else to benefit from it?
TIA

you don't need a particular router... it just means it has a wi-fi antenna for the 2.4 ghz band and the 5 ghz band... this means the phone should support wireless A/B/G/N(2.4ghz)/N(5ghz).
While a dual band router would give you all of these options you don't need it....
Summary:
Dual Band WiFi in phone = Able to access any type of WiFi hotspot
I own a dual band router and I was glad when I read a few weeks back that it had indeed dual band wifi, just like my Galaxy Tab. HTC phones don't have it, so it's an advantage in comparison with the HTC Sensation.
Usually the 5GHz band is faster, probably because it's not as common and thus not as crowded as the 2.4GHz band...
it is faster but not necessarily for the reason of less devices using it... honestly when it comes down to it it's band width... higher frequency typically = greater bandwidth
hi everyone,
1. Does Htc One have a built in dual antenna wifi ?
2. Is Dual antenna wifi a form of MIMO ?
Example of Dual Atenna wifi device is the Kindle Fire HD.
Dual Antenna wifi should not be confuse with dual band wifi.
The iPad 3 has a dual band wifi chip and it has a single atenna wifi while the Kindle Fire HD has a dual band wifi chip and it is also has a dual antenna wifi.
Did anything on Google search work?

The s2 has a Broadcom BCM4330 wifi chip.
This chip supports till 72Mbps connection, while I get 65Mbps max on my router.
The router is configured on 802.11B/G/N (speed: MCS7).
11N is 20/40Hz.
As I see on wikipedia here, that the speeds at 20Hz 65Mbps on 800ns GI and 72,20Mbps on 400ns GI
I am still getting max 65Mbps on my phone if it's connected to my extender which can get up to MCS15.
Is there a way to maximize connection speed?

in the WIKI link of ur post i see the below
Deployment strategies
To achieve maximum output, a pure 802.11n 5 GHz network is recommended. The 5 GHz band has substantial capacity due to many non-overlapping radio channels and less radio interference as compared to the 2.4 GHz band. An 802.11n-only network may be impractical for many users because they need to support legacy equipment that still is 802.11b/g only. Consequently, it may be more practical in the short term to operate a mixed 802.11b/g/n network until 802.11n hardware becomes more prevalent. In a mixed-mode system, an optimal solution would be to use a dual-radio access point and place the 802.11b/g traffic on the 2.4 GHz radio and the 802.11n traffic on the 5 GHz radio.This setup assumes that all the 802.11n clients are 5 GHz capable, which isn't a requirement of the standard. Quite a few wifi-capable devices only support the 2.4 GHz, such as iPhone 4S, and there is no practical way to upgrade them to support 5 GHz. A technique called "band steering" is used by some enterprise-grade APs to send 802.11n clients to the 5 GHz band, leaving the 2.4 GHz band for legacy clients. Band steering works by responding only to 5 GHz association requests and not the 2.4 GHz requests from dual-band clients.

my router/modem is 2.4GHz only (i think), I have the huawei hg655d.
so no possibilities?
ps on my pc I get 300Mbps connection (atheros ar5b93 wif card)
it's dual band or single band ????
if dual band how to enable 5ghz in cm11??????
From what i read on the specs the Snapdragon 400(MSM8266) supports 2.4/5GHz WiFi bands and a/b/g/n/ac classes, but devices like Moto G (XT1032) support only the 2.4GHz band.
On the other hand devices like Xperia M2, that share the same SoC, apparently support the 5GHz band.
Is there some kind of software restriction to remove the 5GHz compatibility? I can't understand why it shouldn't work...
