i think if i remember its a low powered n so i think no go for 5 ghz

my router says its connected at N.

Yes, is has N wireless in the 2.4GHz band. It does not support N in the 5.0GHz band.

Thanks guysss wow that sucks but thanks guys

2.4MHz is not that bad I'm getting 11Mbits over my 2.4MHz N network which for a phone is pretty awesone I'd say. (measured with speedtest.net)

damn thats fast yea sadly i cant change my Bands to 2.4GHz becuase my router is dual band and u cant have 2 of the same bands(eg Wireless G and N on 2.4Ghz Band)

My router is dualband and on 2.4 I have it set to N+G, on 5GHz have it on N only.

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.

Anyone else experiencing slow download speeds?

So me and both of my friend had trouble loading a YouTube video, it was so slow and kept pausing. We both have the Nexus 4 and were on wifi by the way. So we tried using another friends S III and it loaded the video fine. When I ran a side by side speed test he got a 19 mbs download and I could only pull 2. Is this happening to anyone else?
Edit: we were on the same wifi

No I kept it on but earlier in the day I was getting perfectly good speeds. Like sometimes my speed is fine and then sometimes it's slow.

It obviously shouldn't be that way. Since this is wifi, try a mix of different networks. Lord knows, this wouldn't be the first phone with wifi issues with certain network security types right out of the gate (or wifi problems in general).

Yeah I switched to another network and it went fast again. Was just wondering if anyone knew the cause of the sudden slowdowns though.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

On T Mo, I have had it flip from H+ to 3G but all in all in my speed test without changing anything APN wise I consistently get around 16mbps down. You tube and such flies (HQ) and even on wifi on Xfinitys basic package on a G band router I have no issues at all with wifi and YouTube in HD. Sorry, I'm no help but I haven't had an issue.

Oh my bad, I forgot to mentioned that we were on the same WiFi.

Yeah I have that problem on my WiFi as wells slow speeds. Have to switch to hspa to download apps, rediculous

I've also had this on WIFI, thought it was my router, may have to play with router settings a bit to see what's happening.
Its only really noticeable when I try to play a youtube video, although had it other times too.
Also switching to mobile data for youtube as its faster!

Update!!! I figured it out its googles servers they are overloaded this is what makes me think that. Play store loads slow as well as YouTube! Not our phones!

I think something is wrong with our WiFi radios. Might need an update. Its happening to a lot of us.

I'm seeing this issue as well and it's occurring on 2 completely different wireless networks: at home and in the office. I've tried tweaking wifi settings on both my Nexus 4 and on my router at home but nothing has fixed the slow wifi speeds. And none of my other Android devices are experiencing this issue (Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom).
I called Google Play support just now and they didn't have any info to offer on whether or not this is a known issue, they just asked if I'd tried restarting my phone and/or done a factory reset. After I verified that I'd already done both things and neither action resolved the issue they said I could exchange the phone, so that's what I decided to do.
If this problem is indeed being caused by faulty hardware in the phone, hopefully the replacement phone will be in a better state and work properly. <crosses fingers>

It's the router that needs to be updated, not the phones. Obviously if you're is broken though that is irrelevant.
Can't say why that is, but I read a thread awhile back detailing it, I will try and locate it.

I think remydlc is referring to download speed over a cellular data connection, and not WiFi (which is what this thread's topic is really about). At least that's the way I read it...

Is this related... I have noticed compared to my old S2 and iPad my nexus has fewer bars and the signal can drop if held in the left hand. The connection speed can be much less too.
Not good.

could it possibly be trying multiple networks? I have a dual band 5 and 2.4 but they have different ssids - my initial set up was to the 5 ghz but when the google restore happened it populated my 2.4 ssid and pw. I found I had to "forget" all my configured access points and just set up my 5 ghz one and everything was smoking

I don't think this is causing the issue (at least for my phone). I've had the slow WiFi speeds on 2 completely different networks, with one being the campus network of the university I work at. Also, I've tried using my Nexus 4 on 2 different routers at home, one of which can do both 2.4/5.0 ghz and when I tried manually setting the phone to just use either the 2.4 ghz or the 5.0 ghz network it made no difference; the phone's WiFi speed was still very slow.
I'm feeling pretty convinced at this point that it's something faulty with the phone. I pretty much tore down and rebuilt my home network yesterday and tried all different types of settings to test the result on my Nexus 4 and nothing made the WiFi speed any better on the phone.

Network gsm signal keeps dropping

Hello I have been having an issue where when connected to wifi and on gsm/Lte in the testing menu the gsm Signal drops to no bars and I'm emergency calls only. When I change to wcdma preferred it's okay. When wifi is off its also okay. I have not changed anything for months apart from dling the latest Franco kernel nightlies. I'm on Rogers from Canada. I don't think it's a network thing since when wifi is off I get Lte

You're not alone. Alot of other users here have signal problems.

Probably a kernel issue. Find a version that works and stick with it instead of doing the nightlies (which are prone to have things break).

It's not the kernel, I put the stock one back on and the same issue. It's been rainy here the past couple days, I wonder if that plays in.

Maybe something to do with how you setup LTE since the phones really not meant to have it. Maybe a good place to look is in the thread specifically for LTE in the General Section, its pinned to the top of the section.

5 ghz preferred WiFi on Nexus 4

Hi,
I use my Nexus 4 quite a bit at home and at school. My school has a very slow over populated 2.4ghz, the 5ghz band though is very quick. I've noticed the Nexus 4 jumps on the 2.4 automatically, to get on the 5ghz I have to turn on 5ghz only. However when I get back home, my wireless router only runs at 2.4, so I have to turn Wi-Fi back to auto. This gets annoying having to do this 5 days a week. My question is simple, is there a way to set 5ghz as the preferred band for Wi-Fi when both are present? I should mention my phone is fully rooted.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can you forget the 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network? That way it won't connect to it. Some ROMS have where you can prioritize the networks too so if both are in range and you have connected to both it will prefer whichever one you set at higher priority. If you don't have a ROM like that just install an app that can do this for you. Here is one:

Unfortunately the 2.4 and the 5ghz networks have the same name, I don't see a way to distinguish the two just with the stock OS.

Try go on just 2.4 then forget the one it connects to while on 2.4 only.

When a router has 2.4 and 5 GHz on one SSID, it doesn't appear as 2 separate access points, just one. Maybe you could make some sort of tasker profile that forces the phone to 5 GHz while your at school, and 2.4 anywhere else if that's possible.

Good point, I forgot about that. I named mine differently. Yeah try tasker, if you can figure it out.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I don't think switching between 2.4/5 GHz is currently possible in tasker.
