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.

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 =)

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.

I searched the forums to no avail to the following question/issue.
It states on both the Samsung and TMO websites that the networking specs for the Vibrant cover 802.11 b/g/n. My router is dual-band and throwing both g and n signals because my ipod touch can only get g. My computer is connected to the n band. My Vibrant only sees the g band but I would love to connect it to the faster n. Is anyone able to connect to 802.11n? Why would my Vibrant not see the n signal if it is capable? Whadoido? TIA.
The Vibrant's wifi is, as far as I know, 2.4 GHz only, but a typical dual band router setup does b/g only on 2.4 and n only at 5.8. If you have the option to do b/g/n on the 2.4 GHz band it should work.
How do you check the wifi connection speed?

That doesn't make the internet on the phone faster since no way you can fully utilize the bandwidth of wireless g on a phone (someone correct me if I'm wrong).Try to disable both b/g on your router to see if it takes the n.
It's for streaming and file transfer from the server, not the internet. The problem is probably band frequency. Thanks.

I've noticed that my wireless N network doesn't appear on my epic is there a setting to turn it on it was advertised as having wireless N right?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
im having the same problem. it says it has n in the specs, but my network dosent show up
Are you running at 5ghz or 2.4Ghz on your home access point? Does the Epic only support 2.4Ghz N?
It does support N right out of the box. My E3000 router shows an active N connectionn when I enable the phone's WiFi.
Im connected to my wireless g network and i've noticed that it disconnects for like 2 seconds and then reconnects right away
Anyway to fix this

Shows up as N on my router. Interestingly enough, max throughput for both my Epic and Evo are approximately 11 mbps.

theres probably an 802.11b device on your network. The network has to drop down to the speed of the slowest device on the network and b devices operate at 11 mbps

Force it to run on N only.
"how do I do that?"
Manual or google specific model.
It would be specific to your router. My epic is connecting to my single band 2.4ghz router. To force it, you'll need to access the router through your browser, like you would to change the network id or password.

That would seem unlikely - most modern routers support mixed-mode operation. I can push over 80 Mbit on my N-based laptop over 2.4GHz with b devices connected. On the 5GHz band, I get closer to 112 Mbit, but that's a different point entirely.
Both the Evo, Captivate, and Epic seem to top out, for me, at around 9-11Mbit. This is probably a processing limitation, WiFi chipset limitation, or chipset bandwidth limitation more than anything else.
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.

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.
I need to buy a new WiFi router. Would the N10 be able to take advantage of an N900 router over an N600 or N750?

Hi,
Got a 900 router, ASUS RT-N66U, nice router BTW.
I did test the tablet in all variations.
On 2.4 GHz it runs 2x2 single channel (20 MHz), 130 Mbits max link rate.
On 5GHz it runs 2x2 dual channel (40 Mhz), 300 Mbits Max link rate.
If you only use the router for the tablet 900 is overkill.
Having that said. I would definitly go for 600 at least.
Avoiding the crowded 2.4 Ghz is worth while.
I looked at smallnetbuilder and checked out routers.
Settled for the RT-N66U because it has excllent firmware support (look for RMerlin) as well as excellent reach on the 5 Ghz band.
Good luck.
Yeah, I've heard nothing but great praise for that Asus. I don't really need a router right now, but am considering getting one because of what I've heard. I think Morfic (Trinity Kernel) researched them all at one point & settled on that one.

Based on the reviews here and elsewhere I went ahead and ordered the rt-n66u today. With some luck it should be here before the weekend.

Have a look at http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37
Check out the Merlin subforum, best firmware, stock with bugs ironed out and a few extras.
If you dont have many walls or distance to cross us the N10 on the 5GHz band. rocks. Otherwise make sure you force the 2.4 GHz to single channel (20Mhz) otherwise the N10 seems to get confused.
I usually use dd-wrt. I actually verified compatibility before ordering. I might try this other firmware, but what is the advantage of merlin? I've never heard of it jefore.

Its specific for a few Asus routers, excellent wireless performance and close to original Which is tomatoe based . Have read the through the thread other. Suggest we keep there as it really no longer relevant to the N10.
