Alright so I've read that the a500 has wireless N. However, I cant see my network. I have a dual band Netgear router which emits G on 2.4ghz frequency for older devices in my house, and it also emits N on 5ghz. My a500 can't even see that. Is the iconia limited to N only on 2.4? Anyone else have this problem? Its notntoo big of a deal but I'd like to use my N network if possible.
I beleive it is limited to N at 2.4. I have no problems connecting to my N network.
Ah, that's a shame. I dont want to put my N on 2.4 because then I can't have a separate network for G on 5 ghz. Oh well, not too big a deal.
Yea, I connect at 72Mbps upstairs, in a concrete house. 2.4GHz 20MHz channel only. No bonding for 300Mbps.
802.11g isn't supported on 5GHz. The similar speed on that spectrum is 802.11a.

i cant find any info on this but can this epic see 5ghz n signals?
my phone cannot find my routers n signal it can see the g just fine though
No, the Epic's 802.11n can only see 2.4ghz signals, not 5ghz.

this is true i set mine to 2.4ghz n and g and viola it appeared but only 65mbps so i let it go back to g
thank you for confirming
I have a 3 year old Trendnet router Wireless N I only paid $19 for it. I was wanting to upgrade to a newer router for more distance range. I am lucky to live where my nearest neighbor is over 600 feet away.
I was hoping to hear from those who have had success with newer routers and those who have had problems with specific routers.
I'm only 15 feet away from the router and I only have 2 bars up on the WIFI icon. I have had trouble with using my laptop on my front porch also.
If I may, I'd suggest something that's a dual-band unit, since the mT4G supports 5GHz wireless-N, in addition to the B and G 2.4GHz-based stuff. I've had good luck with WiFi calling on my Linksys E3000, and I use a harddrive on it as well (it has a USB port). The two newest laptops, and my phone, all use 5GHz N, while the other stuff (including the G2 and Charm in the house) use the 2.4GHz G stuff.
i wouldnt suggest using N at all unless you need that speed, unless you have that fast of a internet provider MY opinion is you dont need it. The signal that it uses (5Ghz) bounces off walls and objects very easy. To get better penetration go with G or like the person above said, dual band.
I picked up a Apple AirPort Extreme after reading through some post on distance of wireless routers. I downloaded a WiFi app and the old one set to b/g only has more signal strength than the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz on the Extreme. I am still having problems with WiFi Calling, but have found if I turn the phone off then restart it will connect to WiFi Calling and stay as long as I am in range of the router.
I did notice that the 2.4 GHz channel was stronger than the 5 GHz on the Extreme in all distance checks.
5 ghz is best when you have loads of neighbors or lots of personal APs, and need clear channels.... I run a g AP in 2.4 an n in 2.4 both 40mhz wide, and an n backbone at 5.
I have a 310n and rt-n16 that give me full signal..... both on 40mhz wide with WiFi performance on, pulling 16-20Mbps

I Have Atrix with netrino rom 2.2ee. but general question anyone getting 150Mbps link speed thru there router? best i can get is 72Mbps and coworker has Atrix2 he gets 64Mbps.
Are you paying for 150mbps?! I don't even want to image THAT bill :O
Well, here's a question. Is anything else connected to the router while you're performing these speed tests?

How are you performing your test?I can't imagine a reliable test could even be performed on the atrix.
Even for my phone the results vary. The results on the speedtest.net app will be much different then visiting speedtest.net on the browser (obviously not default I use opera)
Anyways what type of service do you have?

You talking about your actual internet speed dl, or file transfer speed within your network? I cannot get 150Mbps through my router with file transfers. I max out at 25Mbps with my internet speed, but that's all the bandwidth I get anyway.
The speed depends on what the hardware is capable of. The 802.11n standard supports up to 300Mbps in theory. In theory because hardware hasn't been made that is capable of transmitting at that speed. And he is no doubt talking about through a local network. If he is talking about internet bandwidth, I envy him lol.

I am assuming the OP is referring to the modulation rate his phone is connecting to the router with. I don't know a lot about the wireless adapter in the Atrix aside from it being able to do 802.11 a/b/g/n. However, I am pretty sure the N capability of the wireless adapter has the highest modulation rate of 72Mbps when running on 1 chain in a 20Mhz channel (to my knowledge the Atrix only has one Wi-Fi antenna in it). So assuming you have a great Wi-Fi signal to your wireless router and low noise, 72Mbps is the highest modulation rate your phone will achieve. In order to achieve 150Mbps, the wireless access point you connect would have to be running in 40Mhz channels before the phone could benefit from the router's 150Mbps capability.
Since the Atrix is 802.11a capable, I bought a dual band router and reap the benefits of being the only one in my neighborhood using a 5Ghz capable router. While I only connect at best with 54Mbps, I can still gobble up 11Mbps down. Not too shabby.

If you want to shell out some cash you can get a router that in theory can reach 450Mbps with the matching adapter. I don't know of a laptop or other device that comes on the shelf with that type of adapter. The routers and adapters have a 3x3 setup, so if all three chains are enabled, and you live in a Faraday cage, you could theoretically get 450Mbps out of it. A bit extreme right now, as most people don't have a clue about the benefits of 5Ghz and using that for media like set top boxes home media streaming. LinkSys actually have a nice 4 port Wi-Fi adapter specifically for that. Plus in your PS3, XBox, satellite receiver and Popcorn Hour and you are good to go! No wires needed with the exception of the cables to the adapter.

Worlds fastest wireless network - 1.2Tbps.
But yeah, you're right............traditional wireless won't do it.
yea its plenty fast at the 72 i connect was just curious because the laptop connects at different speed. I have samba share installed so have a network drive from phone so just seeing if had any input. I did notice when looking in my router lastnight that when i connected at my 72 that it actually does go faster in burst. my router has dd-wrt so shows connected devices and stats i saw it change connection speeds up to like 110 briefly. so it should be good.
It may interest you that in the UK the government agency that polices advertising made the Wifi people take the speeds off their ads*. IRL none of the G access points ever made 54 MBps nor the B 11mbs. It is always the same, people quoting perfect condition maximums which are never achievable.
* Try going to linksys dot co dot uk and have a look at their ads (can't post links yet)

So the Atrix is 5Ghz capable? You said 802.11a.. It won't work at 802.11n in that frequency? It's so noisy in this area in the 2.4 range when I do a spectrum sweep there is no clean frequency. Im thinking of grabbing a 2.4 CPE with 36 dBm transmit power and place it on my kitchen counter. I'll blast every router in range out haha
Mine too. Both Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime and SE Xperia Ray are all max out at 72 Mbps.
I connect to the 5Ghz frequency at my home everyday. Seems faster than the 2.4 connection. I can't comment on battery savings though.

I'm reading in lots of places that the nexus 10 supports 802.11a. But in http://www.google.com/nexus/10/specs/ shows its not supported. What's up with it??
Why would you want to use a? It is the oldest spec and very very slow.
Possibly referring to 802.11ac?

It's not the oldest spec. It has the same speed as 802.11g, and its actually faster as it works in the 5GHz band, which is usually not as congested as the 2.4GHz band.

Hi,
In short yes.
Used my Asus RT-N66U and set it to "Legacy" instead of N.
Link speed shows as 54Mhz in INSSIDER and network properties on my laptop.
N10 connects to 5GHz network and "Network Signal Info" shows also 54Mhz on channel 48.
Cheers

5GHz for better speed or range ?
It suports wifi 802.11n in both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz;
That means it is also compatible with 802.11a and 802.11b/g;
If you have a 802.11n capable of 5Ghz, you can even enjoy wide channel support, getting a connection of 300Mbps instead of 144Mbps which is the maximum supported through 2.4Ghz 802.11n.
You can get better speed with 5Ghz, but that does not take the fact that 2.4Ghz gives better range...

5Ghz for better speed, at closer range.
If you need to push the range, it will probably give you worse speed compared to 2.4.
I live in a crowded 2.4Ghz area, at close range, 5Ghz is faster, but as I get away, 2.4Ghz is a far more reliable choice despite the fight with other networks around...
About selecting legacy and disabling N entirely, I do not think it is a very good idea unless there is something truly wrong with your WiFi network or you suffer some weird incompatibility with an old device (I have not come across anything like that).

Wireless A and B were the first two lettered specs to come out. A was the 5GHz higher speed spec and B was the 2.4GHz longer range one. Wireless G came out years later, and Wireless N after that.

You should read the links you post 802.11-1997 came out before b and a. I still have some equipment with that spec. 5ghz came later. it was very fast but expensive as hell, so b became more common.

Also keep in mind that the N10 only supports single channel N (20Mhz) on 2.4 but dual channel on 5Ghz.
I get quite good range and because of a lot of neighbouring networks actually use it in the 5Ghz band.
No issues for me.
But it really depends on individual circumstances

I referred to that in the resulting link speed, since it is easier to identify in the tablet itself with little knowledge.

Hi guys, I'm having a really weird problem with my phone. The wifi connection is super slow on my Nexus6P, but on my macbook it is fine as it should be. I tested on two more phones, one iPhone and my OnePlus one, wifi works fine on both of them.
I tried restarting my phone and nothing, I did a factory reset on my phone and the same problem still happens.
When I did turned of my router for like 2 minutes and then turned it on again, the wifi connection on my nexus6p worked fine for some minutes and then got slower again. Can someone help me please? Or someone having the same issue?
Make sure your router firmware is up to date.
Sent from a 128th Legion Stormtrooper 6P
I can run my broadband from the 6P flat out at 72Mb/s so its more than capable. Are you running 2Ghz or 5Ghz wifi?
Exactly what 400ixl asks. On the 2.4 Ghz band, I get full speeds of a little less than 72 Mbps. On the 5 GHZ band, I get about 1/3 less speed, even though I'm sitting in the same exact spot, with the 6P in the exact spot.
My laptop experiences the exact same scenario as well. But on my laptop, I can see the actual connect speed, not just the data transfer speed, but the connection speed to the router. The connection speed (that always varies while sitting still) is always greater on the 2.4 Ghz band than it is on the 5 Ghz band. The transfer speeds always coincide with the band I'm connected to. The lower the band connection, the greater connection speeds & transfer rates. The higher the band connection, the slower the connection speeds & data transfer rates.
And I have an older Netgear WNDR3600 running DD-WRT so it's pretty much tweaked to the max!
I have opposite effect as above people with 5ghz being faster for me and 2.4 being about 1/2 to 2/3 the speed of the 5ghz, but I live in a town house so it could be related to the many neighbouring wifis on 2.4ghz. Here's my 5ghz speed.
I get full on both, but I don't have congested channels where I live. Test it on both, also check for congested channels where you are.

Good point that I missed completely! I also live in a townhouse (as does frigidazzi) with many, many neighbors that are using FIOS. The 2.4 band is packed with at least 20 signals I can see with inSSIDer. The 5 Ghz band is completely open though.
I use channel 8 because most every FIOS user around here uses channels 1,6 & 11 so I try to keep away from cross channel interference by finding the weakest broadcast channels, which is channel 8.
My router is upstairs & my devices are on the main floor. The higher the frequency, the less penetration through walls, floors & such. It explains my situation with slower speeds at higher frequencies.
I have this problem too. I cannot get above 30mbps on my 6p, but my HTC One m8, sitting g right next to it will get 120mbps. I've tried everything I can think of to fix it but I get it on both 2.4 and 5 ghz bands.
