Wi-Fi E/I Upgrade Question - Networking

Does anyone know to upgrade the MDA Wifi to E/I. I read on phone scoop, its says Wi-Fi. 802.11 b/g (upgradeable to e/i)
I know there wont be a speed diffrence due to processor speeds but I want to be able to use the network.

How to switch between wi-fi b and g ?

hi all,
according to o2 mini s has Integrated Wireless LAN (802.11b/g)
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaminis_spec.html
but i couldnt find a way to switch between b/g or is it possible manual switch?
anyone? :roll:
I think in some roms its disabled for example the T Mobile rom. Im not sure there is a way to switch it on or off on the Wizard. Either way just set your router to mixed if possible. You really wont see any difference between b or g on your wizard anyway. The only reason I would see for being able to connect to G is connecting to routers that are set to G only.
There is no setting on the device I can see. I don't believe its a 'g' device capable of 54 Mbits, I think this is just marketing. Its a 'b' device which can connect to b or g. Just like blueangel, alpine, universal.
Can anyone prove otherwise?
thanks guys I’ve asked that because i have connection blockage problem with my wireless router, it suddenly happens and while connection to router is alive and working I can't send or receive any data from internet or from other wireless connected pcs, only way to get it going is turn wifi off and on, i reckon its something to do with router then

My Qtek Wizard establishes connections up to 54 MBit/s, when disabling the power saving mode. Usually connection bandwidth is 18 MBit/s with standard settings.
So Wizard is definitely 802.11g capable!
So disabling the power save mode kicks G in then ?
I don't think it is a big deal G or B, wifi is nice, but the processor is so slow that can not deal with more data speed than b.
only personal opinion.
Happy New Year to every one on this forum
I think 802.11g is only available after a firmware upgrade. Seem to recall reading somewhere that the Qtek and I-Mate branded one have had this done and the T-Mobile and O2 ones haven't.
Next O2 rom update maybe.

Interesting. So you are setting power save mode to 'best performance' in order to disable?
Where are you seeing the connection speed, this is on your router?
I'm not doubting you but I'd like to see for myself. Thanks.
I just rechecked the g-issue more detailed.
Allthough changing power saving settings to "best performance" I couldn't achieve more than 18 MBit/s again. Maybe the display of 54 Mbit/ before were caused by some bug in my router.
The bandwidth is shown in the "WLAN monitor" menu of my WLAN router (AVM "Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7050").
After switching to 802.11g-only mode my Wizard wouldn't reconnect or find the WLAN at all.
But 18 MBit/s is a speed step, that is used in 802.11a and g only. 802.11b+ doesn't have a speed step between 11 and 22 MBit/s. (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11#802.11a)
So my Wizard 18 MBit/s must establish a (obviously not 100% standard-conforming) 802.11g connection.
i was just on the club imate site lookin at the k-jam specs and heres what is says:
-IEEE 802.11b/g/e*/i* compliant
-Internal WLAN antenna
-11, 5.5, 2, and 1 Mbps per channel, auto fallback for extended range
*Will be supported soon via free ROM update from clubimate.

3G download speed?

This is maybe a dumb question but would it be possible to somehow enable 3G on this HTC?
I notice the 3G icon when I get connected online but the download speed is still based on GPRS and really slow to browse the internet as you might have noticed.
Any thoughts on this matter?
My download is based on GPRS too and it's very slow, but sometimes it connect in Edge! And is more faster! I appreciate is somebody know how to connect with 3G
Ps: sorry for my bad english!
The Pharos does not have the necessary hardware for 3G networks. You are and always will be stuck with Edge on this phone. Unless someone finds and manage to activate a possible WLAN chip.

Slow WIFI connection...

How come I get so slow speeds when copying a file over WIFI from my desktop computer? I get about 420kb/s and when I check the WIFI connection the signal quality is 70% or higher and connected at Tx 54Mbps / Rx 48Mbps.. Shouldn't I get something like a few Mb/s with that connection??
Using Resco Explorer to access shared folder on desktop computer and copy files btw...
Is it set for best battery? If it is, that's the problem.
No.. Best performance...
Any idea why its only giving me 450ish Kb/s? What SHOULD I be getting with 54Mbps?
The WIFI router is a Zyxel P-320W btw.. It supports 802.11b/g..

if you read specification of your phone you should know this, taken from htc homepage
Up to 7.2 Mbps download speed
Up to 2 Mbps upload speed
so i dont think it matters if you got 54/48Mbps
this is my guess to your issue
someone right me if im wrong here..

Damn.. Thats slow.. Can't even watch XViD's over WIFI..
you might want to enable wireless N through either BSB Tweaks or
Tboy2000's thread...it might help?

7.2 Mbps = HSDPA, 2 Mbps = HSUPA
NOT WiFi
So what is the supported WIFI speeds on the HD2? 802.11b/g is supposed to be alot faster than the ~5 mbits I seem to be getting Or is the network(WIFI/HSDPA etc) controller limited to 7.2mbps be it WIFI or through 3G?
Well, those 7.2mbps and 2.0mbps are probably not wireless specifications as they stand for HSDPA connection. Wireless speeds are specified by 802.11 standards, e.g. 802.11a supports up to 2mbps bandwidth, 802.11b up top 11mbps and 802.11g 54mbps. so, these should be the speedlimits for HD2. I have seen that it is possible to enable 802.11n for HD2 but i havent tryed it out yet as I have difficulties using wireless with my HD2 even with the slow speeds.
no matter where I try to use wifi, it works for ~30secs and after that the phone can't find any wireless networks, sometimes even hangs. After waiting for about 1 minute, it finds wifi again and same scenario happens again and again. It hasn't worked right from the moment I took it out of the box. should return it probably but before that, maybe someone has had same problem and knows what the reason is for that?

Galaxy S4 will NOT do wireless N (802.11n)

Hello everybody,
I have searched all over the web and these forums trying to find an answer as to why my Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919)refuses to connect to my wifi network using wireless N (802.11n).
I thought something was wrong with my network at first, but I went into service mode on my S4 and clicked on wifi and it says this:
Link Speed: 5Mbps 802.11b
Now, when I'm in service mode looking at that, I click the option to turn off WIFI Power Save Mode. When I turn that off, it refreshes and connects to 802.11n at 54Mbps, but that only lasts for 2 seconds and then it reverts back to 802.11b at 5Mbps. GAH!!!!
My router is set to wireless N only, so I don't understand why my phone insists on using 802.11b instead of 802.11n. My router is an ASUS RT-AC68U and I am not a noob when it comes to networking and routers but I cannot figure this out no matter what I try.
My S4 works perfectly fine on 802.11ac (very fast) but that's only on the 5GHz spectrum and I want to use 2.4GHz for better range and other various reasons.
My router is awesome and very fast, and my S4 did the same thing with my old router. So it's definitely my phone. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks in advance.

What makes you only have to use 802.11n?

Something is odd about what you are saying. If your router is set so only the N radio is active, what "B" wireless network is it attaching to? Not yours, surely.
You do realize that "N", although rated faster, does not have the range or general flexibility of good old "G" right?
And that's another question, why is your phone going to a "B" connection, and not a "G" one...

802.11ac Support?

Don't know if this has been asked but I've seen different things saying this phone supports 802.11 ac WiFi. Is this true? Interested in getting this phone if it does. Also like that it supposedly supports WiFi calling on T-Mobile, though I'm currently trying mint Sim which is the same network.
I think Nokia 6 using Dual Band AC WiFi with 5GHz support! Download apps call Aida64 then tap on network and find out.
Wouldn't I need the phone to use that app to find out? I'm asking anyone here on the forum if they can confirm that the phone can connect to 802.11ac. I ask because I got faster speeds from ISP and a new router to support speeds, but looking to get this phone if it can connect to an 802.11ac network.

If U have wireless router with 5GHz AC support try to disable 2.4GHz. If Ur phone support 8.02.11ac U will see that WiFi name
Unfortunately my phone doesn't support 802.11ac so I can't see. Currently using a Blu phone (the Life One X2). Is anyone able to confirm that the Nokia 6 does? Mostly asking cause I'm looking to upgrade to a phone that does and the Nokia 6 fits the bill along with the storage size it has
yes it does, i set up 2 network and it can see 2.4 and 5
No, it does not. It supports 802.11n 5Ghz, but not 802.11ac
The Nokia 6 (2017) contains a Snapdragon 430 processor...and Qualcomm's specifications for the Snapdragon 430 do mention integrated 1x1 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
@qwertysmerty Do you have this phone and have you tested that it does not support 802.11ac?
For context, the specifications for the newer Nokia 6.1 (2018) originally indicated that it did not support 802.11ac either — although it actually does (confirmed by testing). The specifications were recently corrected on Nokia's website.
Yes, I have TA-1025. I tried to connect to 802.11ac access points having channel bandwidth 80/160 Mhz with no luck. It discovered those AC access points, but could not complete association. But that was on 7.1.2, I can retest tomorrow with 8.1. Even if it supports 1x1 802.11ac that support is rudimentary.
Btw, specs for 2017 model on Nokia website still says just WiFi without specifying protocols:
Connectivity Micro USB (USB 2.0), USB OTG, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1

So I ran more tests today on 8.1.0 (patch level July 1, 2018) and got my phone connected to an access point running [email protected], channel 132, bw 80Mhz (80 MHz is definitely AC). So I'm taking my words back that Nokia 6 (2017) does not support 802.11ac. Probably there was an issue in 7.1.2, I recollect that in July 2017 there were numerous accounts when Nokia 6 wifi radio could not connect to certain channels even for 2.4GHz networks, wonder if it was the case for 802.11ac as well.
