Does Nexus One Froyo have 802.11n?

I'm connected at 54Mbps only. Is there something I need to do to enable it or does it not exist?

Do you have an n router?

Sorry, my bad. I had my settings all messed up from the router. Got it working. Thanks anyway.
Mods, please close =)

Nope, it's time to shame you.

Consider me shamed

Am I the only one that could connect to an N router (set up to allow ONLY N connections) when I was on my brand new EPE54B 2.1 Update 1 AT&T Nexus One when I got it 3 weeks ago?

I can connect to my N router at ERE27, with 65Mbps connection speed

i quess 2.4Ghz? Not the 5..Ghz right?

I can connect to wireless N with my ATT Android 2.1 too

I've got a dual band router. It will not see my 5ghz N band, but will connect on the 2.4ghz band. Fastest i've seen it though is 72Mbps

Does not see or connect to my 5GHz n network.

If i remember correctly, the N1 is missing an antenna for it to access a 5GHz wireless-n signal. Just like my netbook which sucks since my entire university has a 5 GHz wireless-n signal but not 2.4 wireless n

That sucks. The whole point of n is the 5GHz spectrum.

802.11n support is only on the 2.4 GHz band. 5 GHz band is not supported.
Also, it's a 1T1R radio (one spectral) vs. 2T2R (2x2 MIMO) like most common 802.11n consumer products meaning it's limited between 65 to 72 Mbps.

WiFi 802.11n

This question has probably been asked before, and i'm sorry for repeating it, if so.
But can someone tell me if it's even possible to get more than 54Mbps in link speed on A101?
I've seen screenshots of link speeds at 65Mbps, but i can't get higher than 802.11g speed. And, yes i know that the link speed is just a theoretical speed, but since this device is supposed to be able to handle 802.11n (at least for my knowledge), it would be great to get n speed working. My wireless router is a Netgear WNR1000 v3.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think it has 5GHz radio.

But i think the WNR1000 runs at 2.4GHz. Not 5..

I'm on 2.1.03 and my 101 connects to my d-link router via 802.11n (confirmed on the router) but the 101 says 54mbps reguardless of actual rate.

Apparently, the max speed on this device is 65 mbps because of a hardware limitation. I think this is total BS because this device is marketed as supporting wireless N. The only real difference between N and G are the speeds, so saying that it supports N and not having it support the N speeds is really retarded.
Then again, I could be misinformed. I hope I am, but AFAIK, it's a hardware limitation.

Doesn't [email protected] require 40MHz channel width? Maybe the tablets don't support 40Mhz channel widths.
**EDIT**
Just set my wireless to 40MHz channel width only and the archos connected fine.
Just because the box says it supports 802.11n wifi networks, it doesn't however, make any claims as to the rate at which it connects to such networks.

I'm a little disappointed that archos chose to implement the bare minimum to qualify for 802.11n. If you do actually read the N white-paper, it doesn't really REQUIRE all that much. It doesn't require 40mhz, and it certainly doesn't require higher speeds. There is MUCH more to the N implementation than just throughput. However just doing the least amount of work to get your N badge is disingenuous.
I've connected my 70IT to a Cisco controller based network that I administer, and I can't get above a 54mbit connection either connected to a 1252 or a 3500 series AP with a 4400 WLC all on the newest code. I do connect at MSC07 which is an N code. I only have 20Mhz enabled on my 2.4 band though and will not be able to test 40Mhz...
I'm not certain if they can make updates to software that can add more N features or not. If so, I wish they would add it to their TODO.
I can't post a link to the whitepaper being a new user, but google for
802.11n mandatory optional whitepaper
and you'll find it on the 2nd link.

Ok, thanks for the information. To bad it seems that i have to stick with g speeds.

[Q] 5GHz 802.11n

I can't for the life of me get my Xoom to see my 5GHz 802.11n network... I have a Linksys E3000 running dd-wrt with one of the connections doing g/n mixed and the other doing straight up 5GHz n. It works fine when I connect with my laptop. The Xoom will of course see and connect to the g/n mixed network no problem using 2.4GHz n.

Are you using 40 MHz channel bandwidths?

Yeah, I've tried 40 MHz both upper and lower and 20 Mhz.

My xoom sees my 2.4 network with full bars, 5ghz at 50% power even though I am in the same room with the access point...

do you have any other devices hooked up to the WAP?

Does the fact that the Xoom's wifi radio is 2.4ghz N make a difference?

No, this is the only device.

I don't have a xoom, but with my X I had to remove a dash from my SSID. I also swear for 5 minutes my X saw my 5ghz band (my router does both simultaneously), but I guess that could have just been the router broadcasting the wrong SSID for the 2.4ghz.

FWIW, I have an 802.11a (5GHz) network at home (nice, 'cause my a-capable WiFi devices don't have to compete with the other ~15 visible 802.11g networks in my area) and I was able to connect to that right away. Pretty surprised, actually, but the BCM4329 is an a/b/g/n capable device, after all.

I'm currently on a 5ghz n only network without issue. Netgear wndr3700.

Just wanted to update everyone in case others find this thread looking for help that I may have found my solution. I came across a post on the Motorola forums that mentioned needing to set the channel to one of a handful of channels, notably, one of the following: 36 40 44 48 149 153 157 161. My router is currently set to auto and I have confirmed it is not on a compatible channel at the moment. Unfortunately, I will be unable to test this to confirm it is the problem until I get home in a few days. Will update again then.

Strange, mine is on auto and the Xoom connects up to it fine. Very fast and stable.

Could be that yours just happens to auto select one of those channels.

Where did you see the specification that Xoom's wifi radio is 2.4Ghz? Especially since some people are connecting to their 5Ghz N routers.
Please see: https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/46417?tstart=120

Most WiFi IS 2.4GHz; what sets the Xoom apart is we have the 5GHz "N" and "A" bands, too.

Update: Well I'll be damned, that's exactly what the problem was. Changed my channel from Auto, which had selected channel 56 which supposedly is not supported, to channel 48 which supposedly is supported and it showed right up and connected no problem.

[Q]5Ghz wifi

So I've been digging into this a bit the last couple of days, and as far as I can tell the Nexus 7 doesn't support wireless N on the 5ghz range, which is sad.
I dig into this, and find others are finding the same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803798 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777431
However, I have also looked into the chipset, and AnandTech.com, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749498, and the Ifixit teardown agree that it is using a BCM4330, which supports Wireless a/b/g/n 2.4ghz and 5ghz, as well as bluetooth 4.0, and fm radio. I took a look at the radio, and the creator of SpiritFM has concluded that the chip's antenna pin isn't connected, and thus why FM isn't working.
So, my question is then; is the lack of 5ghz on the Nexus7 a hardware or software problem?
It would be nice to have the 5ghz wifi range, as my college campus actually uses it a lot.

It's a hardware issue, and I don't think the lack of 5Ghz is a problem when you consider that the wifi chip only supports single stream at a maximum 65 Mbps. There are a few other devices out there that can support up to 72 Mbps, but that's about it. Tablets and smartphones are almost always a few years behind the standards because it's incredibly expensive to manufacture wifi hardware capable of the latest and fastest standards that will fit inside of a mobile device.

Is there any evidence that its a hardware issue? The chip seems to support it, as i said.
People thought the htc dream (tmobile g1) would never run ics or jb, guess what it can! Not well, but its possible.
So why isn't 5ghz possible? No offense, but 1 person saying its not without any clear evidence wont get me to give up.
I never said speed was an issue, its mostly compatibility, cant hardly connect to campus wifi if my device doesn't support 5ghz; and the 2.4ghz bands are crowded in my apartment complex, a single 5ghz router would do wonders.

The hardware does not support 5ghz. There's nothing more to it.

Proof? Data? Information? There is nothing that I find that says the chip shouldn't work beyond people saying it shouldn't.

It was mentioned during the presentation at the IO convention. Don't have a link.

Check the specs on Broadcom's web page.

The important part to note is the "or" in the middle of that statement, which means that there are two different versions of the chip. The HTC One X, for instance, has the dual band version. We've got the cheaper single band version in the Nexus 7.

My nexus 7 connected to my router's 5ghz network for 2 days. But today it couldn't find it anymore

Nexus Play does not like 5ghz N network..disconects

I posted about having trouble the first time getting it connected to my 5Ghz network but i got that to work finally.
Now the issue is it will say it is connected and it will work fine....until i leave it for the night. when i come back to it the player will say im connected to the network but there is no internet. have to disconnect and reconnect for it to work. Going to try it on my 2.4ghz network tonight.
They need to get to squashing these bugs!!!

mine has been running on my 5ghz n network since I opened it up a few hours ago no issue....then again it is like 3 inches from the router. If your router is a good distance from the device 2.4ghz would be better as it generally has a longer reach than 5ghz or at least that is my findings as anything in my bedroom has a hard time connecting to my 5ghz as apposed to the 2.4

Well my router is right next to my Nexus player... Maybe it's the router that is the issue. Have to check more into it. Been meaning to upgrade to an ac router anyway

You and me both especially since I have at least 3 devices that support AC.

if you are a fan of linksys/belkin, the wrt1900 is a tough router.
i currently use a ea9200 (ac3200) which is a tri band router. 2 5ghz bands and one 2.4. i would seriously consider moving up to ac1900 based routers...
