Will there ever be wireless n for the Evo, I understand that the chipset might have been built on g but how was someone able to get it working on a nexus one? Would the broadcom company have to release a driver; I heard a rumor that our wifi driver COULD support N but that was just something I heard. And Lastly, Isn't wireless n the standard now why is this not common in phones yet lol. Not only does the wifi on the Evo stink, its not even wireless n and it stinks

UPDATE: i was mistaken about the n, it does have N just not 5ghz. I found this on the netgear website. Stupid Routers.
It has some wireless n. I've seen it on my airport extreme at 78 MB/s so that's N for sure. But it only does the 2.4 Ghz not the 5 Ghz.

Pretty sure wireless N was enabled with one of the earlier OTAs. Mine is definitely connecting with N and works fine... I'm running Calk's EViO rom with netarchy kernel.

This was my impression, as well.
Really guys? Hmmm I've never been able to get it to find my ssid on my wireless n netgear and everything else picks it up fine. I guess I was wrong then and very mistaken. I was really under the impression that the evo didn't have wireless n *scratches head* . I think my router is set on n and a mixed. I tried to change it but my Evo has never been able to find it. I've been all over netgears site and nothing. Just odd that my Evo is the only thing that doesn't see it. I tried on sense and aosp.

i tried man nothing, the section where you can change it from 5ghz is like grayed out. i have 2 n routers they act as an access point and bride, or you can use them as single n routers, my xbox and laptop pick them up but maybe that plays a part with the 5ghz. I guess when ur wrong ur wrong; maybe my routers of 5ghz only and thats why my evo cant see it. Might be time for a new router then; heres a screenshot of my access page it wont even let me remove 5ghz lol stupid netgear.
You gotta change where it says N only. It should be mixed or g and n mixed. Then it will give you a option to use 2.4 Ghz.

Those are 5ghz only. I have them as well. Evo can only use the 2.4ghz band. Which you've rightly figured out.
You could always set your router to broadcast 2.4 N is its capable like mine is. Then use those as a bridge/ap combo. That's how I have mine done.

I'm not talking about internet speeds. The connection speed with the router.
If you are obsessed with the fastest wireless performance, here you go!
Try a different router. Wireless n equipment isn't always as good as advertised speed wise. Look at some reviews online and find a access point/router that actually can do 300mb/s.
Tips for all WiFi n performance issues:
Update router firmware, if current reboot router.
Use wpa2/aes and wmm(wep and wpa/tkip destroy performance)
Have only n clients connected to ap(no b,g,draft-n equipment. It slows down ap)
Use 20mhz channels. (Don't use 20/40 or 40mhz, don't use bonding. These will only gain maybe 20mbit under ideal circumstances and most of the time actually hurt performance in the range of 20-60 percent!)
Scan the channel space and move to an unused channel space. If it doesn't help try another. A WiFi scanner will show what ap's are on what channels. Using the same is like sharing a network cable. Spectrum is just media. A shared frequency is just that, shared.

Router does 300mbps with the notebook.
It's running a recent version of Tomato.
WPA2/AES with WMM and ACK on.
Router is set to N-only.
With 20mhz you will never get more than 150mbps. 40mhz is necessary for 300mbps and 450mbps.
Houses are far apart here, and no one else is using 5ghz.

Maybe 300mbps (or even 150mbps) just isn't something the phone can do.

Wow to no intelligent responses. The reason you only get link speeds of 150Mbps is the radio is 1x1 not 2x2 that is required for 300Mbps but that link speed is better than what the evolte is capable of so it's the fastest WiFi available on a phone my friend.

Perhaps try a different channel. Some devices can see a certain channel while others can not. It's worth a try.
Go to Settings, Wi-Fi, click on the 3 dots at the bottom right corner, Advanced, Wi-Fi frequency band, is it set to Auto or not?
Turns out the Nexus has a very limited selection of channels. Anything above 5.240mhz is not seen. That's really strange when others phones almost 2'years old had no problems. Still trying to decide if I should keep this phone, not a fan of the stock experience over htc sense.

I highly doubt that. Stock Android does not even have a T9 dialer and the widgets are but ugly compared to sense.

And Sense is bloated and ugly to some people as well. If you prefer sense then stick with it. No one is forcing you to have an N4.

Everything that Sense gives you, you can get with apps from the play store. Most people that have already owned a Nexus phone know this. Also most of the time stock Android is faster then Sense. If you want a HTC phone get a HTC phone. People don't want to you hear you complain about how bad stock Android is. There are people that are dieing to get the Nexus 4 because of stock problems. When it comes to the 5ghz chs., my Nexus 4 plays fine with my D-link dual band router. Just lower the channel down.
Bands
So I spoke with someone at work who is our network engineer for the wireless portion of our network, and he told me that most devices can only use the upper and lower ranges of the 5GHz band. Apparently the middle of the band, channels 52 - 140, can receive interference from nearby airport radar. The current setup at work uses channels 36 - 48, and 149 - 161 and skips the large portion in the middle. I haven't had a chance to test this at home, but looking at my router settings really quickly, it doesn't appear that you can set a range of channels to use using DD-WRT (DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) mega). The other day I did confirm that channels 36 - 52 worked on my phone, so tonight I can test if the upper channels work. Just looking at the network here at work though, the phone sees the upper range of channels.
Totally bumping this topic to say I can confirm setting your band lower than 5.240GHz works. I set my band to 40 (5.200GHz) and the channel width to 40MHz and it sees it and connects to it just fine now. For future reference, if anyone searches.
I was using 149-153 and works just fine as well. That's closer to the 5.7Ghz ranges. The middle bands are not allowed in some countries so depending on which you are in your phone will not turn those on.
Wikipedia has a nice chart of available channels:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
I think the DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) channels are also blocked.
I think the Nexus phones use SIM carrier country to decide what channels are available.
Greetings,
I'm planning to purchase a router for my office and I'd like to use it for my N4 via WiFi.
What specs should I be looking at?
Is there something I should consider (bands, frecuencies, etc.)?
My connection is not that fast, only 1.5MB.
Please share your experiences. It'd be truly appreciated.
For the best speed it should be N and 5GHz.

Wireless routers have different standards that they go by. As of right now for consumer use, there are B, G and N. B & G have been around for quite some time and N has had some time to develop to the point where its the fastest standard available currently.
So basically, you want to see if the router you are purchasing supports the wireless N standard. Chances are if the router supports N it will support B and G as well...

The frequency is to circumvent interference. For example, a lot of home phones operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency, which is probably why the first guy who posted recommended 5GHz, so you could have a dedicated frequency for Wi-Fi. If you can get your hands on a 5 GHz router, then go for it, but if not a 2.4 GHz router shouldn't be a problem...

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!

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,

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.

the N66u is a GREAT router. But that is way to much for your needs. a simple $19 TP-Link would fit the bill for you. even an old relible WRT54G would as well for that internet speed.

damn, I just wasted 100 bucks, But I also wanted long range because i have lot of walls in the house.
I also wanted to try new routers.
I know it is overkill xD But I think the range should be better.

range can Also depend on your wireless clients as well

Although I think you already ordered the router, I'm reassuring your choice: a good, fast router helps for local traffic too. It's a huge difference from G/100Mbps to N/1Gbps when it comes to wireless/wired transfers between your local devices, be them computers, laptops, phones, TVs or whatever else.
PS: You should emigrate to Romania where your usual download speed would be around 4-5MB/s for as low as 8-10$ a month!

omg, im paying for $15, IS of 4mbp...this is not good. But yeah, I believe network transfer and range should compensate for my inversion. Also I wanted to pay and learn/try something for experience because I use it on my everyday life, just like an smartphone.
Thanks for answering hav a great day

I personally use a Linksys EA2700 which was around 100$ here in Romania.
I don't fully recommend it as I sent back two crashing units (original software). The third one seems to be ok, but it runs dd-wrt (only when I go to the third router was dd-wrt stable for this model).
For more recommendations I'd go to smallnetbuilder.com and dd-wrt.com.
Good luck!

Thanks, I just made up my mind, I will go for the ASUS RT-N66U.
Dont know why you all prefer DD-WRT FW xD. Whats your fav feature in that firmware?
I think I will play with it a few weeks then, go for dd-wrt to try.
Thanks

Well... at least with my EA2700 I had three major reasons to switch to dd-wrt:
1. The original has at least one security flaw that nobody seems to patch it.
2. I really got used to local DNS (been using it for years with my previous router - WRT54GL)
3. I prefer running dynamic DNS on the router and dd-wrt has support for no-ip.
Good luck!
PS: 4. The interface is better than the original.

I agree, TL-WR1043ND is highly regarded. Just be sure that it is the second version, which is blue, like on the site.
Good luck!

execuse me, whats the benefit of using dd-wrt than original firmware? is that making the internet connection more stable?
Let me remind you why I picked dd-wrt over the original EA2700 firmware:
1. The original has at least one security flaw that nobody seems to patch it.
2. I really got used to local DNS (been using it for years with my previous router - WRT54GL)
3. I prefer running dynamic DNS on the router and dd-wrt has support for no-ip.
4. The interface is better than the original.
