I found the option in the settings where the band can be forced to 2.4, 5 or Auto. On either Auto or 5 the N4 doesn't "see" my 802.11n router (other clients are connected to it just fine). Only b/n/g seems to work for me. The router is a Linksys E3000 running DD-WRT if that matters.
Anyone else?
Well, the Nexus 4 doesn't support 802.11a (see wikipedia etc.)
But 802.11n at 5 Ghz should work.

I don't have wireless A, but one thing to try. Is your 5ghz and 2.4ghz broadcasts named the same? For instance on my wireless N setup I have the router broadcast ROUTER5 and ROUTER2.4 so I can specify which band to connect to. This has eliminated a lot of trouble of my wireless devices not choosing 5ghz when I want them to. So my Nexus4 just connects to ROUTER 5 and I know it is 5ghz.

The SSIDs are different for "5" and "2.4" for exactly the reason you mentioned. But no matter what I can't see the "5" SSID from the N4, while either wifi clients can see both at the same time. The router support simultaneous 2.4 and 5.
Yes. 5Ghz works.
I use it in my house. I'm on it right now with my N4.
Check the security on your router.
You should have a WPA2/PSK AES encryption or leave your network open.
You'll also want to verify your router is broadcasting.
Since your router was flashed with DD-WRT, verify you are in mixed mode or some sort of N G combo.
Thanks for confirmation. It's strange that the phone doesn't even see the router at all, I tried various mixed modes, channels, SSID broadcast is enabled, etc. Other clients have no problems with the router.
I haven't tried this yet, but from reading other reports it may be the case that the N4 (and the N10) only support the 5Ghz band with 20Mhz channels, not 40Mhz. My router is configured to use 40Mhz only so that might explain why the N4 cannot "see" it.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless-N_Configuration#20MHz_vs_40MHz
running my Nexus 4 on 5GHz N mode on a Linksys EA6500. My channel width is set to auto so maybe that is why it can be seen and used.
General question though, why have you chosen to use 802.11a anyway? What benefits are there? (honestly curious)
Sort of off topic, but who the crud uses 802.11a?

The subject of my topic is wrong. It should have said 802.11n on the 5Ghz band, not 802.11a. I edited the subject now.
I prefer 5Ghz when possible because I seem to be the only AP on that band whereas 2.4Ghz is crowded.

I have the same router with DDWRT also and my N4 cannot see my n router either. I will look into the band settings tonight.
Just chiming in, Linksys E3000, DDWRT and my 5Ghz network works like a charm
5Ghz works for me just fine.
still having wifi issues, wddrt flashed firmware(iv'e tried all settings) wasted 24hours i think trying to figure it out, solid connection but wifi seems broken, can't download stuff but can browse google playstore
my other wifi devices have NO ISSUES at all with this router
cannot run speedtest, can only run ONE certain type of texting app(strange) others won't connect online
its like my n4 has a 'firewall' or something
seems my best option is to pick BG-MIXED mode! alot mor apps connecting to the internet now but not all! at least im getting progress

Thanks alot ! I had this exact problem with my Tomato-flashed Linksys E3000. I changed the channel of 5ghz from Auto to 48 and voila, Nexus 4 is now cruising happily.
Before, my Nexus 4 did not even detect my wifi N 5ghz AP while all my other devices could. The strange thing is my Nexus could see my neighbors' 5ghz APs but just not mine.

What Channel Width do you use? Auto/10/20/40 - at least these are the options in DD-WRT?
I still can't get my N4 to see my DD-WRT router's 5Ghz AP no matter what I try. I have since acquired an HTC One X+ phone and that has no problem seeing it, together with a bunch of other devices in the house, including a Chromebook. Something going on with the wifi chip and/or software in this LG N4.
Try 20mhz and a low channel like 40 or 48. Works perfect for me on dd-wrt

Thanks mate.
It comes to me as a surprise because Google doesn't list 802.11a support for the Nexus 4 on the Play store specs.
Is 802.11a not officially supported by android? I ask because even in my Galaxy Nexus (and this is just couple a days ago with full wipe and installing 4.2.1 from the stock rom via adb), i initially tried to connect via my 5Ghz network but it just wouldn't connect for the life of me. 2.4Ghz worked like a champ.
EDIT: I should note that the problem with the 5Ghz band is only upon initial starts. If I disable and re-enable wife, 5Ghz works just fine, but I simply don't get why it fails on the first try.

802.11n also uses the 5Ghz band, or do you honestly mean 802.11a, that most ancient of wireless standards?

yes 802.11n "can" potentially use the 5Ghz "a" band if the 5Ghz "a" band is supported.
802.11n standard was designed to implement speed rates upto 450mbps (depending on the number of channels being bonded)
802.11n doesn't simply imply that it can use the 5ghz and 2.4ghz bands. it has to state that its 802.11abgn for me to be able to do "n"-speeds over 2.4ghz or 5ghz
google play store's specs show 802.11bgn which implies its only 2.4ghz.
if its 802.11abgn, then it works for me because i use the 5ghz exclusively to avoid the noise of all the 2.4ghz channels around me and theres a ton of them
Some people have no problem, while others like myself have issue. So let's figure out if this is a router config issue, since most Wifi problem with Android have to do with the router itself. I'll start off with mine.
Tablet date of purchase: September 12th
Router: ASUS RT-N66U dual-band (2.4 & 5 Ghz) with latest firmware
Wireless configuration:
- 2.4 Ghz for B/G
- 5 Ghz for N only
Distance from router to tablet: less than 50 ft
Issue: sporadic network connection. I got full Wi-fi signal bars, good Internet connection, but then cut-out and no connection. Back again after 10-20 seconds.
Fix(?): Changed the router configuration for the 5Ghz radio from 20/40 Mhz to 40 Mhz. This seems to tame the problem. I still have sporadic connection, but far less and connection is back again after a few seconds.

I have a TP link single band N router configured for b/g/n. Both my shield portable and shield tablet have issues with wifi. My nexus 7 and my moto g are perfectly fine on it.
I think in my case I've narrowed it down to the router, though. I have a second router upstairs, also tp link single band N (different model). It is configured in bridge mode for the main router. Both shield devices are perfectly fine when connected to it. Unfortunately it only serves a small portion of my house and is much slower over all.

I'm using a similar setup, but an ASUS RT-AC66U instead of the N66. A frequencies are mixed-mode, and my 5GHz is 20/40Mhz. I can pull a consistent 20 Mbps down usually, without any issues. 50 Mbps down if I'm the only active network user at the time.
Wifi signal is usually at 2 bars, but I'm getting the same signal level out of the Shield Portable, my Nexus 5, and Nexus 7 on my 5Ghz net. My 2.4Ghz net is usually always full strength.

That's interesting. I wonder if my N66U is unable to maintain a stable and consistent 5Ghz connection. So you have no problem with the connection like mien?
Do you use DD-WRT or stock ASUS firmware (what version?). I may end up buying the AC66U just to test it out.
Using a virgin hub which is a netgear i belive, 2.4 is solid even two stories away from the router. 5g is still there 2 stories up but will drop out, only 1 story up it's 1-2 bars but never drops out. 5g band on router set to 38-40ish range.

Stock. Whatever the latest version of firmware is too- I update when it's available.
When I had problems with my Luxor tv connecting changing channel on router from auto to one of the numbered ones fixed it, perhaps it has the bug where your device ends up getting the same IP as the router. Worth a go!

I doubt the FM antenna pin will be connected to the wired headset jack like the Nexus One (HTC Desire). But as my sig implies, I'd be very happy if so.
I was going to post actually, because at home I have both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz SSIDs and the Nexus9 will not see the 5Ghz SSID.
Has anyone connected to a WiFi network on 5GHz with the Nexus 9 ?
It works on mine at 5GHz but I think it has to do with the limitation of the channels that the Nexus 9 will detect and connect to. Try using the lower channels like 36/44/48

So this is another bug. I have this, too. Also, 802.1x Auth doesn't work with the N9.
I've researched for any past issues on this topic but couldn't find anything similar.
I live in London and use Asus AC68U, I have connected my Note 4 (N910C) and Tab S fine on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, but never checked whether this is connected on N or AC. The Channel setting on the router is left on Auto, and I've labaled the 5GHz SSID to have a "5G" at the end (eg. 2.4GHz SSID: "My WiFi" ; 5GHz SSID: "My WiFi 5G")
Then flew to Indonesia bringing along the AC68U, reset and reconfigured the Router to be used there, I have also configured an N66U as an Access Point (not repeater). Now my Note 4 cant' even see 5GHz anymore, even though wireless configuration is exactly the same as in London (except the WiFi SSID and password). I then found out a way to know which 802.11 speed my phone is connected to (by doing the #*0011# thing), and turned out it's on 802.11N 2.4Ghz.
I then went to the N66U (out of Radio range of the AC68U) and I still cannot see the 5GHz SSID. So I took out my Tab S 8.4, switched WiFi on, lo behold, 5Ghz is visible and able to connect to both router seamlessly. Checking the connection type, the Tab S is on 802.11AC Ch. 36 Frequency 5180Mhz, WiFi Power Save Mode On, link speed 866Mbps, to the AC68U.
My Dad has a Galaxy S5, it also cannot see the 5GHz SSID, but is at least connected to the 2.4GHz 802.11AC.
I have changed channels manually on the router but still can't see 5GHz from the Note 4, also switched OFF the WiFi Power Save Mode.
So the question is.... does my Note 4 N910C even have AC? And what is going on with my 5GHz band? Has anyone seen this problem before or point me to a thread you've been to?
I've got the n910c and connects in ac on 5ghz fine. I have a netgear r7000 running ddwrt. Has it ever worked for you ?

Well, I brought the AC68U I used in London to Indonesia, the phone was connected on 5GHz on this router when it was in London, but somehow it can't even see the 5GHz SSID now in Indonesia.
I think I need to reset the modem and WiFi module somehow, been searching the web on how to do that but haven't found it yet.
Other devices that are currently able to connect to 5GHz and/or AC:
Galaxy Tab S: Can connect to 2.4GHz + 5GHz on AC
Galaxy S5: Can connect to 2.4GHz AC (Cannot see 5GHz AC)
Laptops: Can connect to 2.4GHz + 5GHZ N
Added Info: Tried WiFi Analyzer, Note 4 still cannot see 5GHz signal while the Tab S can.
Did you put in a local SIM? The phones may be respecting local regulations regarding frequency usage that the other devices don't, as they don't have a SIM giving them locale. I'd be curious what would happen if you put in your London SIM.

Yeah I'm using local SIM, but when I arrived still with my Voda UK SIM in the phone, the existing N66U Router (before I turned it into Access Point) was transmitting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, my Note 4 couldn't see it. I thought I had switched off 5G SSID but when I checked, it was ON. Very sure something is up with this Note 4.
I removed the SIM card and inserted it to my LTE Tab S, switched it on, switched WiFi on, connected to 5G just fine.
I'm gonna try re-flashing the same stock ROM. This phone and the Tab are all Non-Rooted btw.
Solution: Don't set the frequency to "Auto". Manually choose the frequency for 5 Ghz, preferably to something low such as channel 36. This worked for me. I haven't tried with any other frequency though. Someone mentioned online that it might be due to Android phones not supporting DFS frequencies.
Good luck.

I just installed dd-wrt on my netgear r7000 and my n910h stopped seeing the 5Ghz band after that.
With r7000 stock firmware everything is fine.
Could you please tell me what's your dd-wrt settings for the 5Ghz band?
Somewhat of an odd issue with Wi-FI
First the phone is a 100% stock (unrooted) Sprint issued Galaxy S5.
Access point is a Cisco 1142 in Autonomous mode running 802.11n (2.4 & 5ghz with a 40Mhz extended channel in the 5Ghz band). Both IPv4 and IPv6 (utilizing auto configure) are on my network.
Three laptops report up to 300Mb/s connectivity and work flawlessly
Three iPhones work without any issues
Two iPads (Wi-Fi only) also work without issue
Galaxy S3 work without issue
HTC EVO work without issue
The Galaxy S5 connects and works fine for a random period of time, seems to be typically between 1 and 3 hrs and then simply stops communicating, I've tried a static (IPv4) address but to no avail. Sometimes I'll find that only the IPv4 stops working but IPv6 continues to work or vis versa.
One thing I did note was the S5 never reports a speed higher than 144Mb/s regardless of the signal strength. I haven't tried disabling the extended channel on the 5Ghz band, maybe the S5 has a problem with that?
Lastly connecting to an 802.11g AP seems to work reliably.
Any thoughts/suggestions? I'm not opposed to rooting the phone if there is a known issue that is solved by modified code.

The access point "had" two SSIDs being announced, I took one off and the stability problems seem to have gone away, now to figure out if I'm announcing the second SSID incorrectly or something else is going on.

You might be onto something, based upon what I've found and my understanding of Wi-Fi there should be no issue with putting the same SSID on both radios; however I've found that the S5 seems to be switching back and forth a lot and is failing whenever its on the 5Ghz radio. I have since turned off the 5Ghz radio (of course that reduces my throughput to 144Mb/s on Wi-Fi vs 300 but I doubt I'll see a difference).
I've seen some various comments about 5Ghz not working properly for some, I don't know if this is a real issue or not.
Also keep in mind my 5Ghz radio was set for a double wide channel (40Mhz vs. the small 20Ghz) enabling 300Mb/s.

There's no issue until you have a device(such as the s5) that sees both bands, people do this with public WiFi as well, they put up a malicious hotspot with the same name as the public one. I would give your 5g band a different name that's what I do, its just said for 2.4 and ssid-5G for the 5.
