Wireless N

Does anyone know why the wireless N channel of my dual band router doesn't show up on my A500?

+1..
Can't even see my N network either.. My wife's Xoom has a setting under advanced/wireless to change your setting, but my Acer doesn't.

It might be because the A500 doesn't recognize 5Ghz N networks, only 2.4Ghz.

If it's a 5Ghz that could be the problem, but maybe it's just the channels (12 or 13) that doesn't play nice and there's a fix posted already.

Well, mine is a 5Ghz N network.. so that may be the problem. Oh well.

a500 is 2.4 only not dual band like the zoom

Another strange thing.. Speed tests with the a500 are half as fast as my dinc using my wifi

I just did a post about the wifi, since IMO, this is the feature the A500 is weak on.
No adhoc
No 5gz
Weak signal that is unstable in weaker wifi areas
The signal seems toggle in weak areas from one bar, two and zero, disconnects and then reconnects. Rinse and repeat.
My gTablet is a good device for wifi comparisons, but makes the A500 seem weak.

Wifi problems...

The wifi signal icon sucks.
Its mean nothing...
If you wanna see the real strength of your wifi, check with "wifi analyzer" or similar from market...

Bt even the download is slower thn other devices

hey dude from th photo the note has 3 lines full which is same with i-pad
just joking hahahaha

I agree about the Wifi. In areas where Wifi is weaker, my iPod Touch performs far better than the Note in connecting

Same issue with me from past two days of usage.
Which version of OS are you using as mine is DDLA1(Unrooted) and I am facing the same issue, I can say this because I have used older firmware version(DDKL1) earlier that was rooted and wifi was excellent.

Never had this problem with all the version I went through. Now I'm on stock rooted LB1

I agree completely. The Notes wifi is quite weak. Can a new modem improve this?

the wifi signal is comapriably slower than my old hd2, side by side they are both connected via n signal to the router, note is showing 52mb and the hd2 running android is showing 58mb

I get much better connection on the other side of my house than any previous phone or tablet. I must say that even a couple of metres from the router I can get only a couple of 'bars', but download is still very fast.

I am on basebans lb1 and build lb2

In my case I experience the same low bar and slow speeds. But worst of all, I can't connect to my wireless N router (only G) , the Note doesn't even see it!
I'm on ICS MidNote 2.0
Any ideas?

Do a search (not being mean/rude, just not at a computer to find it for you) about WiFi on the Note in either this or the Q&A section. I read about a month ago that there's a text file that contains the authorized WiFi bands for your country, and since there's no US ROM the bands listed are incorrect. Of course you have to be rooted to change it (which you are), but I'm not so just living with G.

I rooted my device yesterday and flashed AbyssNote Kernel 4.2 and Wifi seems to work fine.

i also got this wifi problems, the htc desire hd got a much better signal

This is a big issue with my Note too. Sometimes signal will be showing aa strong, but then I get message....cannot connect to the server. Compared it to my s2, and the s2 had no problems making a connection.

[Q] Best ROM for Blade as Wifi Hotspot only?

I own Blade II and I am not currently using it so I thought I could use it as Wifi HotSpot for my Gnex and nexus 7. I live in Poland and we have here carrier Aero2 which is providing free internet access, you are paying only for sim card around 6$ and you can use free 512Kbps internet, it only works on 900Mhz 3G towers but blade is supporting this frequency. I would like to use my Blade strictly as Wifi Modem only and I am wondering which is best ROM and Wifi Tethering software for such a use. I would like to have decent battery life and true wifi connection, not AD-HOC which is provided by play store apps. I tried to underclock CPU to around 300Mhz and I was ok with tether speed, but native wifi tethering in GingerBread is still battery hog. Is there any 3rd party software with non Ad-hoc hotspot and good battery consumption? Which is best rom for saving battery? Best thing would be modded android with modem feature only but i don't think there is anything like that. Thanks for help and greetings from Poland

Was wondering the same myself. Am planning to do the same at Christmas. Anyone got any tips?

I'm gonna answer in two parts
1. For good battery life and memorable performance but lacking in eye candy, Swedish Snow is a clear favorite
2. There's an app called Wifi Tether for root users. The default setup method is ad-hoc but can be switched to master from preferences
ZTE Blade | Asus Transformer TF300T

Just a quick update if anyone is interested.
This Christmas I spent almost 3 weeks using the ZTE blade as a wifi hotspot for two mobile phones and a Windows 7 laptop.
I used cyanogen 10 and wifi tether for root users.
I had it plugged into an 11,000 mAh external battery pack so we could use it when out and about.
It ran a bit hot occasionally and on a couple of days the phones kept disconnecting (solved by reboot).
Upload speeds seemed a bit slow but apart from that it worked a charm.

AW: [Q] Best ROM for Blade as Wifi Hotspot only?
I planned to do the same. I would prefer cm 7 underlocked and the wifi tethering oft cm7.

How low would you underclock it to?

I think 320 is enough for tethering. What do you think?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I really haven't a clue, so any advice is appreciated. In any case, I find an external battery back more than adequate (when I do need to tether it is abroad in a cold climate, so I can keep it in a jacket).

[Q] Weak wifi signal

Not sure what has been up lately, but my M has been struggling to maintain a wifi signal here at home. My old Droid Pro has full signal as does my Kindle Fire, but for the last week or 2 my M has been struggling to get the wifi signal and when it does, it's not full bars. About 1-2 bars when all my other devices have full wifi bars. Even when I am 3 feet from the modem (fios) . I've restarted the phone a couple times, but same issue. Where am I going wrong here?

Check your settings. Maybe if you choose the specific frequency for FiOS and toggle the weak connection command; that may help. Do you have any smart actions or battery saver that may be trying to optimize your WiFi radio for battery management?

Great suggestions! I did more research today and did specify which channel to broadcast on for the modem.. It may have helped a bit. As for smart actions, I do indeed have those running but only for battery level below 15 percent or specific overnight hours. I will look more into the router settings and report back my findings. Thanks for the help!
