Hi, I have a Linksys EA 6500 router that has an Wireless ac mode in the 5GHz range. I cannot get it to connect to my HTC One. I have no idea why!!!
Did anyone have experience with the EA 6500 in ac on 5GHz?
What are you all achieving by connecting you android phone to a router. Thanks

What wireless settings are you using on your router? 802.11a? b? g? n? Which security?

You can connect at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. this provides wireless internet connectivity using WiFi instead of Mobile internet. This lowers your cellular bill at the end of the month and provides much faster internet speeds for your phone whilst connected to WiFi.
In my case i am able to successfully connect to the 2.4 GHz frequency, but my HTC One does not see the router when i configure the router to 5 GHz frequency only. My Dell Laptop connects, but the HTC does not see the SSID.
Others have successfully connected at 5 GHz and using ac to improve their connection speed, but i have been unable to get this with the EA6500 router ((
I am using WPA-2 for security and i tried both N and ac modes on the 5 GHz frequency. I have no problems at 2.4 GHz and N with WPA-2.
So yo be ssfe I should buy a 2.4 Ghz router?What's s decent name brand, model of a router should buy to connect to my Gs4.hey if you can could you pm me a web link for s good router. Thanks

Unfortunately you need to have an internet connection to your home, connect this to the wireless router (i would suggest ASUS RT-AC66U and not the crappy EA 6500 i bought). Once connected there you should have WiFi distrubuted to your home, and you can connect your mobile phone to this. You can use this to share files etc throughout your home network..
I hope this helps.

Hmmm.. no one to help me?
same problem need help
I am facing the same problem with my new to-link archer c7 router. My HTC one can't seem to see the 5 ghz reception whereas my Xperia and nexus connects without any problem. The router is dual band and HTC sees only 2.4ghz.
Have u found any solution to this ?. Really appreciate the help

Does anyone know why the wireless N channel of my dual band router doesn't show up on my A500?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
+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
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
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.
i am using Netgear N wireless router at 150mbps
but my phone shows link speed of 65mbps
any way to force the device to connect at 802.11N
Are any other devices connected to the router? If there is and there not N speed the router will only work at that speed unless it is dual band.
No only my phone is connected

any one? please
The Galaxy S uses a very restricted form of the 802.11N. In fact, it limits it to the 2.4GHz band and only a single 20MHz spatial stream.
Therefore, even on a router that supports N, 65Mbps is the best you are going to be able to get.
Ok i understand why my wifi is so bad too. Thanks

Hi!
I've just bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi.
I have the router Cisco Linksys E4200 just beside the tablet (2 feet).
I enable 5GHz on E4200.
I disable 2.4GHz on E4200 to be sure that the tablet connects to 5 GHz.
But, doing so, the tablet does not see the wifi.
Anybody succeeded to connect to 5GHz with this router and this tablet?
Thanks a lot!
The only thing I can confirm it's working fine with my Netgear WNDR3700 5GHz WIFI, so 5GHz is no problem with my SGT 10.1

Are you using a custom rom or stock?
I have no issues connecting to my 5 GHz. The only time is does not work is if I flash a P7500 rom or a Asian/Euro P7510 rom.

Dlink DIR 825 5ghz here... working fine...
Hi!
It works now.
We have to set the Channel in the router config to get 5GHz working.
Here is the very interesting suggestion coming from Cisco Wireless Routers forum :
Set the 5 GHz band on the router to a only, 20 MHz and channel 36.
Wow!
Glad you got it working. I have an E3000, but for some reason, I have been using the G channel. I just tried the N channel which is set for 5 MHz only and it worked great. Communications are much faster with the N over the G, so I am keeping it there. Hey, I'm glad I read this thread which prompted me to make the change.
My ISP is throttling my phone's port on my home wifi... I'm getting 0.40mbps down when I should be getting 15mbps down. How do I unthrottle myself?
You may not be able to. In the meantime, switch to 2G. It might be faster.
I think there is some confusion here. He is saying his home isp and not his cell provider. If it is, check your router settings.
Also switching to 2g, for me at least, did not help speeds after t mobile started throttling me today. I was getting dialup speeds on both edge and hspa. I guess it could help with battery life though.

I thought port 80 was http traffic, wouldn't that mean that everything on your network is getting throttled? I need more info lol
It its the only thing on your network that is getting throttled, check any qos settings on the router. Did you buy the router yourself or using one from the isp? I would think its impossible for an isp to single out a single device on a router since 192.*.*.* ips are nonroutable... Meaning they are invisible to the internet.
+1 on QoS, also check your signal strength and do a few speed tests

Agreed. Your ISP can't throttle any single device on your home internal network. Reboot your modem and router and see if there are still issues. Either that or reboot your phone. It's either a phone, modem or router issue.

And another thing...why do you think you should be getting 15 down? I'm assuming you are using cable internet, which means your connection is shared with your neighbors. For instance, I have a 20 down and 2 up connection. However, it varies depending on how busy the network is in the neighborhood.

Sorry no. What WiFi point is your phone receiving internet from? Y not just connect your computer to that same router?

If this physically works out for you, place the laptop within range of the router and host your laptop as a wireless access point/wifi via ICS(internet connection sharing) within Windows to your Android phone
So it would be like Router ---> Laptop ---> Android piggybacked where the phone is the one not in range of the Wifi
Another option is to upgrade your router/laptop to a longer range. If you're on N, upgrade to Ac if your wallet allows it
or just buy a Wifi range extender.
seems a bit sublime to be trying to use a mobile device which is likely to move all over the place as a range extender - when the problem that needs to be solved involves distance & orientation relative to fixed stations.
