Hello, today I got a 10.1v. While playing, I saw my 5Ghz wifi network appearing in the list, I tried to connect and it worked
Someone else who did this ? Because I can't find a topic or find this in the specs.

Hello everyone,
yesterday my new POV Mobii tegra arived. Everything works fine, except WiFi. Mostly i cannot connect to any WiFi network. If I get a connection, its very slow and often disconnects. I found other threads where people facing the same problem, but I didn't found a solution.
With my HTC Desire and other WiFi devices i do not have any range problems.
I tested different ROMs (corvus5, modaco r8, stock, buzz07 kernel) with various builds of the WiFi Driver (AR6k).
Has anyone a suggestion what I could do to get a better WiFi connection? Could this be a hardware defect?
Thank you!
Markus
I have this problem too. I have experimenting with different wireless routers. My operator provide me with a Thomson TG784 that has a weak signal. Now am using a Edimax BR-6504n. It is a bit better. But I am thinking of getting a Netgear WN2000RPT
Repeater. If anyone have a Netgear WN2000RPT please let me know if it is any good.
It would be interesting to know what people are using. So feel free to post the name of your wireless routers here!
If you have WiFi connection issues, it is worth checking that you have Bluetooth turned off. WiFi and Bluetooth seem to share the internal aerial and there are wquite a few posts about the two interfering with each other.
today i made more tests on signal quality. if my mobii says "50%", my router says 0% signal quality. if i'm on the same room as my router is, my mobii says 100% and my router says 13-18% signal quality. what the hell?!
I am having some connection issues aswell. It seems to drop connection but when I switch aeroplane mode off then on it seems to wake up the wireless and connect again. Really annoying, wondering if to return it back to the store.
Is there any fix? running 4.3 and no updates yet.
ps. my router is a Billion 7800n
So i have a week old galaxy S4 and everything is fine until i realise that it only sees and connects to my 2.4Ghz SSID. I use a dual-band sitecom WL-309 extreme gaming router. My laptop, ipad and galaxy tab can scan and connect to the 5Ghz SSID. I'm really surprised that a phone that boasts 802.11ac isn't even able to see 5ghz wifi. i recently installed the wifi analyzer app, and it doesn't help, can only still see 2.4.
I recently upgraded my firmware to the indian MEA stock ROM. Dunno if anyone out there has experienced this, help apprectiated.
Thanks
I saw in a post that wifi channel may be the problem, my router has the following 5ghz channel options: auto,36,40,44 and 48. Just tried all and still no joy.
im having the same problem exaclly.
i cant see any 5Ghz network at all.
i tried replacing channels on my router and still. cant see.
At home I have a 2.4ghz and 5ghz Wifi network setup.
My S4 is always connected to the 5ghz and has never had any problems. My partners iDevices are also connected to it.
The other day when I got home I noticed that I kept getting the error 'Your internet connection is unstable' and couldn't use the 5ghz if I wasn't directly in front of the router. No settings had changed, no updates etc. It will discover and connect to the network but it won't load webpages or anything.
There is no new firmware for my router, I have tried all the different channels, and have even reset the router, and as a temporary fix I've only been using the 2.4ghz network. My iPad still works fine on the 5ghz anywhere in the house, and my partner has had no issues.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have a solution?
I'm running the stock 4.3 on the phone as I haven't even tried flashing it.

did you changed some wifi settings on your phone ??
cos if that happens you have to match the settings same both on pc{ of router } and phone
even if you are sure that you haven't changed anything just make sure and check the settings again
Android O has created wifi drop issues with the Nexus player
Really? How?
All of a sudden mine does not see my 5Ghz channel.
On both of mine with the so called 'stable' final release of oreo they are now paperweights... wifi is flakey and regularly drops mainly when connected to my asus (funny considering its a asus product) router.
Also when that's happening it half crashes the wifi on the router until both units are unplugged... have tried wiping both players and the router and it persists.
If this isn't fixed in a update (that ill have to sideload) i got paperweights unless i use otg eithernet adapters.
Not exactly the QC I had hoped to get from google
Edit: Confirmed that it works perfectly via the old usb2 apple eithernet adapter
FYI here are network adapters that i can confirm work.. Apple® USB Ethernet Adapter (MC704LL/A) and D-Link DUB-E100
Even in beta and stable the same problem. After reboot it loses wifi and I have to insert password again

I just upgraded to Oreo and i am having the same issue. My 5ghz APs are no longer visible to the Nexus Player.
I rebooted the routers and factory reset the NP, but it will no longer work with 5ghz. The 2.4ghz works, but the speeds are slower and it buffers with some videos.
Anyone figure this out? The version 8.0.0.
Hoping for a fix so i don't have to rollback.
hmmm...didnt think that buffering problem is because of wifi ...same thing here..

I actually experienced the exactly same thing recently right after my nexus player updated itself to 8.0. Nexus drop WiFi and can’t find 5ghz. I read many posts related and many solutions. I tried to clear cliche data, stop wps option in my modem/router, because it would randomly assigned new passwords. I change Lan to ipv4 only then enabled ipv6 back since I noticed it was not the reason....still WiFi dropped now and then. I have to restart my modem painfully and irritated. Till today I read something about frequency of 5ghz may relate to this. I found my 5ghz is fixed channel then I changed it to “auto” as 2.4ghz. After rebooting the modem, Wala, everything works. The voice search function works too with high speed internet.

I don't think you understand. The problem is the 5ghz wifi no longer works. Your "solution" was already mentioned above. That isn't a solution, the 5ghz wifi still doesn't work after the upgrade.
I am considering downgrading since they aren't any help. The video buffering because i am using 2.4ghz wifi isn't acceptable.
I have the same problem as the original post. After Oreo update, Player can see 5GHz Wifi, but it will drop out once in a while, randomly. Usually it seems to re-connect in a few seconds, but it is already too late and the playback is paused (very annoying). My router is running DD-WRT.
Is there a known fix or work-around for this problem yet, other than side-loading a lower version?
Thx
I am suffering this same issue and the remote is laggy. It started after the Oreo update. I also saw 500 Mbps bouncing around my LAN. At points my AC access points were shutting down. That all had quit, but the wifi issues remain. I do see 5ghz and 2.4, but often get, "WiFi has no internet connection" and streaming quits.
I contacted Google this afternoon, was transferred, no freaking joke, 7 times. They then just referred me to Asus, and refused any further support.
Google has fallen a long way in a very short amount of time. Their support is now abysmal, and all off shore.
Came here looking for this, it can see and connect to 5ghz but both are in and out and video is stuttering. Anyone have a recommended lower version? Or can someone suggest another box that has good bluetooth audio output?
Hello everyone,
As the title states the 5ghz wifi hotspot doesn't work. It may show that is enabled and all the relevant icons appear but no device ever is able to find the network. 2.4ghz works fine. I have the phone for about 2 years now and I really can't remember a point when it worked. In the meantime I have changed to miui.eu (the phone came with miui global) and it still doesn't work.
Could the wifi chip be faulty from the beginning? Do you guys have a similar problem? It's not really a huge deal but I'm just curious about what may have caused this problem.
