Does the droid have Wireless N like the nexous one is going too

IS the droid incredible going to have the wireless N our does it not have the same chip that we have in the N1's

No, seriously...I read "cheap" it was early in the morning and as you see english is not my mother language

What is this obsession with wireless N lately? What possible use is there for a faster local area network connection on a smartphone?
What am I missing?

Good point for me its just the fact that I can turn my router back to N only mode for my computer etc. Had to have it on both N and G just so my device could use it.
That and I guess for the added range you can get from it. not something I need but could be a reason.

Okay, I guess range is a reasonable reason for N on a smartphone. Being able to run a router in N mode only seems like it should be a silly reason but since some routers seem to have trouble in G/N mode, that's legit as well.
So it's not about transfer speed so much as connectivity. I was missing something.

I can connect to my N router in N only mode just fine with my Nexus One as is...

Possible solution to weak WiFi on cm10 and jb

As far as I know, nobody knows why some get really bad reception on jb and some don't.
This might sound to simple to be true, but I found that changing the wifi channel makes the signal good again. Meaning that for me, any wifi signal above channel 12 is really poorly received on my phone, but if I set it to ie 5, it's fine.
If somebody else with the same problem could try it, we might know if this is a fluke or actually related to the issue.

Where do you change the channel? You mean the WiFi channel your router uses, or can you change the channel your SGS uses?

I meant changing the channel on the router, yes.
I didn't know this before, but apparently North America do not use channels 12 and up, so it might look like jb wifi mechanics have an American blend for some reason, and simply does not like these channels.

No solution for me. My Router is in channel 1.

[Q] Constant Wifi drops at my wits end

Hello everyone first time joining xda; I have used the site a few times and I love it. I also created an account because of the wonderful community anyways; I seem to be having this really frustrating problem with my Verizon LG G2. I picked up the phone on black Friday and its been absolutely wonderful except for one issue, my WiFi drops signal constantly and I mean almost every 3-15 minutes but the catch is that I have used WiFi at my friends and by that I mean more than a one or two works great at theirs and not mine but at my house and it doesn't and I think this might be a router issue. But I have spent many hours trying to figure out what might be wrong it it helps my router is: Netgear model WNDR3700. I've tried just about everything and would like some smarter help. Thank you for reading!

Shameless self bump
First bump!

Having same issue but not as often.
If I use my htc sensation with vipers it's even worse. Even causing my router to reboot.
Se if u can extract logs from your router.

My suggestion is to just get a new router. They're only 30 bucks if you get em used (I mean, NICE ones). I am somewhat router-savvy and I would recommend the D-Link DIR-655 as a replacement. It has OS-independent printer/HDD sharing, website URL blocking (great for blocking ads), time restrictions, logging, wireless N & good range... if you're lucky you'll find one in great condition for about $39 last I checked. Once I got one for $20 off ebay and it had some issues.. so don't do that I guess.
I know my suggestion doesn't directly answer your question but it will directly solve your problem. Hope this helps,

Thanks for posting but yeah all of those quick fixes I've tried also I checked for a router update and its up to date and I check the website its correct. The ****ty part is buying a new router is out of the question because I still live with my parents.

You're not using a static ip that is being used by 2 devices right? I did that when I first set mine up... I'm not the sharpest one.

Contact the support of your router..
Maby there is a fw upgrade avaliable. Sadly for me there are non. And it's a 4g router provided by my isp...

Also, another dummy fix is checking which wireless standards you have selected. Surprisingly a lot of android phones are not compatible with independent Wireless-N, make sure you have set up a,b,g,n or b,g,n or even try straight g or straight b if those don't work. On top of that, try changing the wireless frequencies, that is very likely to be your problem.

Tmobile Nexus 6 News..

So it looks as wifi calling should go out to tmobiles nexus 6 by the end of the first quarter.. and volte for the nexus 6 and tmobile is nearly done with testing http://www.tmonews.com/2015/02/wi-fi-calling-coming-to-nexus-6-by-the-end-of-q1/

It's great news for those who do use it. Personally I don't so yeah... I got one of those routers from T-Mo that is supposed to be used for Wi-Fi calling and have never used it for that. Otherwise it was a free $150-$200 router that works awesome!

Awesome I've been wondering when it will be enable. Looking forward to both VoLTE and Wifi-Calling!!!

Any ideas how it will work? Will it be an app compatible with any custom rom or will it be something rom builders will need to go integrate?

But you have to return the router after you terminate services or they will bill you for 100 dollars.
Something to keep in mind, and it will still be 100 dollars a year from now. Or two. Or three.. in three the router is definitely going to be less than 100 dollars market value.

It's still a free 5ghz AC router...I think I can remember to return a router

I had a dual band router with openwrt, and when the 2.4GHz hardware died (which happened far earlier than it should have, probably due to WRT overdriving the radio), and replaced it with a Netgear N900, expecting to get a wired router with WRT and run it as a WAP. Turns out there was not a single feature I used in WRT that was missing in the stock firmware, and the thing was rock solid as far as stability goes. I replaced the Netgear with the ASUS one from T-Mo (actually turned it into a WAP for better basement coverage) and it has even MORE features out of the box, like more powerful QOS support. Openwrt/DD-WRT/Tomato are nice, but they are far more than the vast majority of people need - even power users like me. I'm not using my CCNA skills to do stuff like routing multiple subnets here at home, and if I did, I would grab a used Cisco 861 and run the ASUS as a WAP behind it rather than messing with WRT.

Need that volte, hate dropping down to 3g when making voice calls then waiting for lte to kick in.

I have been an enterprise SysAdmin for 15 years. I have been working with network equipment (the enterprise Cisco stuff, not your wannabe WRT crap) for over 10. I am neither a kid, nor a hack, thanks.
What's your network background that gives your opinion on WRT so valid, and what features make it so special? Because like I said, I have used it and there was nothing in it that made me miss it when I stopped.

I second you on the wrt stuff. Yes while it is nice it is not necessary for home use at all. Especially since the Asus-68u / TMO-1900 AC (same router/WAP etc.) has it built in for the most part and actually works better than WRT crap-ware as I determine it. I to would get a used Cisco or aerohive or enterprise level hardware over any home-based consumer router for security and other things that just are not available. But that is not this subject I have the TMO-1900AC and Asus-68u at home I use the TMO as WAP and Asus as primary this works very well for wifi calling etc. I believe wifi calling will be built in to the phone on update not a wannabe app like sprint.

T-Mobile is reporting that WiFi calling won't be in the 5.1 update... This is getting old.

T-mobile is now giving free wifi router

Today I called t-mobile customer care for a few questions and before I got off the phone the rep asked me if I wanted a free router that gives great wifi calling, it use to cost $50 to get it but now is free. The only thigh you must know it's that if you decide to leave t-mobile you better return it or they will hit you with a nice bill.

Yeah that has been out for almost a 9 months.. Worth it
BAD ASS NOTE 4

Yea i got one yesterday havent set it up yet lol

Got it awhile back, it's a great router

Anyone know what model Asus it compares with? I have an RT-AC66U. If nothing else I figure T-Mos might make a nice extender.

It's actually the exact same hardware as the RT-AC68U. In fact I'm running builds of Merlin's custom RT-AC68U firmware on mine (I got mine soon after they became available before Tmo sent out an OTA that locked the bootloader).
Prior to getting my "cellspot", I actually had the exact same router that you do now The RT-AC66U is definitely a solid router, but I've found the 68U to be a fairly significant upgrade. I'd say that there's really no reason not to "rent" one for a refundable deposit. I was initially planning on keeping it for $100, but now I'm thinking that by the time I feel the need for a new router there will likely be better / newer models available for not too much more than that. Anyway, I get better and more consistent wifi performance with the 68 vs. the 66, it has more memory and more features (ex. QoS, which the 66U can't handle due to it packing less RAM), and if you decide to downgrade the bootloader to run custom firmware such as Merlin's (MAD soldering skills required!), then you can even overclock it!
So, yes, this is quite an excellent router. When Tmo started offering them gratis-ish it was some of the best hardware on the market. It's no longer top tier, but IME it's significantly better than the preceding Asus model. My only (minor) concern with getting one now is that I don't know how configurable the settings are with TMo's locked down config... still, for a refundable $25, I'd say it's worth at least checking one out; especially for people who don't have an AC router (every speed test I run from my N4 or tablet maxes out my 50 / 10 cable service... seriously, never seen a wifi speed test slower than like 47 Mbit down).
Oh btw, I'd almost definitely use the Cellspot as your main router. I initially planned on using my AC66U as a bridge or repeater or something, but as I live in an apt. and don't need a huge amount of space covered, my research into those kinds of applications generally made me feel that setting something like that up would "hurt" my LAN rather than help it. I did just find a good use for it though... I recently got a NAS with dual lan ports, so since my old router is just sitting around I'm going to configure it as a switch so that I can use port trunking. I don't want to discourage you from researching everything that could use an extra router for. A good site / forum for general home networking info with sort of an emphasis on Asus hardware (you'll also find the above mentioned Merlin there) is smallnetbuilder.com. Good luck all! I'm pretty familiar with many "cellspot" related things, so if anyone has any other questions I'd be happy to help or at least point you in the right direction :good:

Wow, thanks for all the info. That is a good deal then. It's too bad to hear about the bootloader getting locked. The RT-AC66U actually has QoS, but it turns off hardware acceleration. I tried to use it once and it all but killed my internet access. Kind of odd, I remember using QoS on my ancient linksys router 10 years ago running DDWRT.

Ah, my bad on the QoS... I leave QoS off, but that's one thing about the Cellspot: I'm pretty sure that it's enabled by default to prioritize VOIP and I don't think it's modifiable (the whole purpose being to "encourage'' wifi calling and all). I'm not sure if it does so to the degree that it'll slow down a download on a PC if you get a call... I suppose the biggest variable there is the speed of your connection. Actually by far, the most comprehensive source of info on it is actually a Slickdeals thread. It's insanely long, but the OP was edited into an extremely informative wiki! It is possible to downgrade the bootloader to flash alternative firmware, and doing so will actually cause it to identify itself on your network as an RT-68ACU rather than a TM-AC1900 and is explained by a guy named Engineer in that thread. It requires a pretty risky hardware mod involving some extremely precise soldering, but if you've got the skills I'd definitely recommend it. I'd like to actually do it myself sometime but need to work more on my soldering precision (semi OT but related to phones in a sense, I've gotten into buying relatively cheap headphones and modding them head-fi style to greatly improve the sq - classic ex. KSC75 )
Anyway, here's the thread with pretty much everything you'd want to know and more re: the cellspot https://slickdeals.net/f/7193262-t-...c-router-by-asus-free-for-postpaid-25-deposit

I have the T-Mobile router running on AP Mode since I use pfSense as my main router. I have been experiencing laggy internet on my Note 4. Not sure if it is related to QoS. I do hope T-Mobile releases a firmware update as their router is behind in updates compared to RT-AC68U.
Anyone else seeing this lag issue with TM-AC1900 router?

The QoS feature is separate from the T-Mobile modifications. The tm1900ac still has the option to enable or disable QoS. Enabling this feature does turn off hardware acceleration though, just like an ac68u.
