So I just set my routers wifi mode to 300Mbps @ 2.4Ghz and immediately was not able to connect to my wifi. I dropped the mode down to 145Mbps, same frequency, and right away was able to connect. What gives?

I'm not networking expert but i believe it's the b/g/n radio that you are using. IIRC the faster setting requires the n radio. Does you phone & ROM support n?
If i am wrong someone please correct me.
My router is dual band and i want to say it connects to 5ghz and connects as a n connection. some roms do not have the n drivers. I too could be wrong.

You're probably right. I'm using CM7.1.

My G2 connects to my home wireless network which is wireless n, with no problems. Might you have a MAC filter on your router that needs to be updated with the MAC address of the phone?
I have no issues with using N on my G2, using a Netgear WNR2000v2 as my router.

im a network admin, so the obvious has already been tried. if mac filtering was enabled, that would prevent from getting an ip address, not from seeing the ssid
N connection is great on my D-Link DIR-655.

i dont understand why it wont even detect the network. did you guys have to change a setting on the phone for wifi? my laptop doesnt have any problems, im using it now as we speak.
The wireless N on the phone is only 2.4GHz. It won't connect to a 5GHz network.

i was just coming back to post that. my dual band router has been flashed with ddwrt and the 2.4 frequency is repeating my neighbors 2.4 ghz wifi. so the only open frequency for me to connect to on this router is the 5.4, so i plugged a linksys poe ap into a poe switch and now my phone is connected to an n network thats 2.4 ghz. ya...
Hi,
I have a UK Desire Z. The spec says the phone is capable of connecting to b/g/n wifi standards. However I am having trouble seeing my N network on the wireless list. Has anyone sucessfully connected thier phone to an N network?
Are you trying to connect to a 2.4hgz network or a 5ghz one?
It should work on the 2,4 but not on the 5 ghz
I have dual-band router and Desire Z does see/connect to 2.4GHz N network. It does not see 5GHz network. But my 5GHz is running in two channel 40MHz mode, didn't have time to check if switching to single channel would allow Z to connect.
Mine connects fine to my home Wi-Fi network, which is 'N' standard. Not sure what speed it is connecting at, or whether it's dropping back to B/G though.
Do you have MAC address security blocking set on your router, and if so have you told it about the phone's MAC address?

This verifies that answer, changing to single channel on 5GHz will not make a difference.
The wifi radio on the DZ is a 2.4GHz radio.
I have tried connecting my tablet to a wirless N connection but it doesnt pick it up. Anybody have this problem or know how to connect to a wireless N connection on the tablet?

I haven't tried it, but I believe it'll only work if the Wireless N Network is the 2.4GHz mode. The specs for the TPT say it is compatible with b/g/n, since a isn't supported the 5GHz spectrum cannot be supported.
If your router is simultaneous dual-band, meaning, it can transmit a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz network at the same time then you shouldn't have any issues. If the router is only dual-band and not simultaneous then you'll have to fall back on the 2.4GHz spectrum.
Hope this helps.
Oh, ok. The router was transmitting in 5ghz; changing it to 2.4 worked.Thanks
Hey,
quick question: Does anyone know of a method to switch the frequency band on the Nexus 4 based on location or SSID?
Maybe via App, Tasker, profile or whatever? I would love to use the 5Ghz band at home, but work only runs on 2,4. If I use the automatic mode it only connects to the 2,4 frequency band of my router.

I am using 5GHz. Check if your AP has a separate MAC address for 5GHz and connect to that SSID and you should have no problem connecting.

Actually you're right. There is an option to separate both bands on different SSIDs. Guess I missed that option... thanks for the hint!
I tried the Wifi Bonding (Qualcomm) mod created by simonsmh to enable 40mhz on 2.4ghz mode. However it did not work. The mod is installed but without any positive results.
On my phone, I am still connecting to my home wifi @ 72mbps only while my other clients are connecting at 270-300mbps link speeds!
Any clues guys?

Same problem on my Redmi Note 3 Pro (Kenzo). Work's on 5GHz but not on 2.4GHz.
Enable 40 MHz option in the width range of router 2.4 GHz or choose the maximum width of your router in 2.4GHz option , you are set to go and restart your device and router !!
