I'm connected at 54Mbps only. Is there something I need to do to enable it or does it not exist?
Do you have an n router?
Sorry, my bad. I had my settings all messed up from the router. Got it working. Thanks anyway.
Mods, please close =)
Nope, it's time to shame you.

Consider me shamed
Am I the only one that could connect to an N router (set up to allow ONLY N connections) when I was on my brand new EPE54B 2.1 Update 1 AT&T Nexus One when I got it 3 weeks ago?

I can connect to my N router at ERE27, with 65Mbps connection speed
i quess 2.4Ghz? Not the 5..Ghz right?
I can connect to wireless N with my ATT Android 2.1 too
I've got a dual band router. It will not see my 5ghz N band, but will connect on the 2.4ghz band. Fastest i've seen it though is 72Mbps
Does not see or connect to my 5GHz n network.
If i remember correctly, the N1 is missing an antenna for it to access a 5GHz wireless-n signal. Just like my netbook which sucks since my entire university has a 5 GHz wireless-n signal but not 2.4 wireless n

That sucks. The whole point of n is the 5GHz spectrum.
802.11n support is only on the 2.4 GHz band. 5 GHz band is not supported.
Also, it's a 1T1R radio (one spectral) vs. 2T2R (2x2 MIMO) like most common 802.11n consumer products meaning it's limited between 65 to 72 Mbps.

I searched the forums to no avail to the following question/issue.
It states on both the Samsung and TMO websites that the networking specs for the Vibrant cover 802.11 b/g/n. My router is dual-band and throwing both g and n signals because my ipod touch can only get g. My computer is connected to the n band. My Vibrant only sees the g band but I would love to connect it to the faster n. Is anyone able to connect to 802.11n? Why would my Vibrant not see the n signal if it is capable? Whadoido? TIA.
The Vibrant's wifi is, as far as I know, 2.4 GHz only, but a typical dual band router setup does b/g only on 2.4 and n only at 5.8. If you have the option to do b/g/n on the 2.4 GHz band it should work.
How do you check the wifi connection speed?

That doesn't make the internet on the phone faster since no way you can fully utilize the bandwidth of wireless g on a phone (someone correct me if I'm wrong).Try to disable both b/g on your router to see if it takes the n.
It's for streaming and file transfer from the server, not the internet. The problem is probably band frequency. Thanks.

I've noticed that my wireless N network doesn't appear on my epic is there a setting to turn it on it was advertised as having wireless N right?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
im having the same problem. it says it has n in the specs, but my network dosent show up
Are you running at 5ghz or 2.4Ghz on your home access point? Does the Epic only support 2.4Ghz N?
It does support N right out of the box. My E3000 router shows an active N connectionn when I enable the phone's WiFi.
Im connected to my wireless g network and i've noticed that it disconnects for like 2 seconds and then reconnects right away
Anyway to fix this

Shows up as N on my router. Interestingly enough, max throughput for both my Epic and Evo are approximately 11 mbps.

theres probably an 802.11b device on your network. The network has to drop down to the speed of the slowest device on the network and b devices operate at 11 mbps

Force it to run on N only.
"how do I do that?"
Manual or google specific model.
It would be specific to your router. My epic is connecting to my single band 2.4ghz router. To force it, you'll need to access the router through your browser, like you would to change the network id or password.

That would seem unlikely - most modern routers support mixed-mode operation. I can push over 80 Mbit on my N-based laptop over 2.4GHz with b devices connected. On the 5GHz band, I get closer to 112 Mbit, but that's a different point entirely.
Both the Evo, Captivate, and Epic seem to top out, for me, at around 9-11Mbit. This is probably a processing limitation, WiFi chipset limitation, or chipset bandwidth limitation more than anything else.
This question has probably been asked before, and i'm sorry for repeating it, if so.
But can someone tell me if it's even possible to get more than 54Mbps in link speed on A101?
I've seen screenshots of link speeds at 65Mbps, but i can't get higher than 802.11g speed. And, yes i know that the link speed is just a theoretical speed, but since this device is supposed to be able to handle 802.11n (at least for my knowledge), it would be great to get n speed working. My wireless router is a Netgear WNR1000 v3.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think it has 5GHz radio.

But i think the WNR1000 runs at 2.4GHz. Not 5..
I'm on 2.1.03 and my 101 connects to my d-link router via 802.11n (confirmed on the router) but the 101 says 54mbps reguardless of actual rate.
Apparently, the max speed on this device is 65 mbps because of a hardware limitation. I think this is total BS because this device is marketed as supporting wireless N. The only real difference between N and G are the speeds, so saying that it supports N and not having it support the N speeds is really retarded.
Then again, I could be misinformed. I hope I am, but AFAIK, it's a hardware limitation.
Doesn't [email protected] require 40MHz channel width? Maybe the tablets don't support 40Mhz channel widths.
**EDIT**
Just set my wireless to 40MHz channel width only and the archos connected fine.
Just because the box says it supports 802.11n wifi networks, it doesn't however, make any claims as to the rate at which it connects to such networks.
I'm a little disappointed that archos chose to implement the bare minimum to qualify for 802.11n. If you do actually read the N white-paper, it doesn't really REQUIRE all that much. It doesn't require 40mhz, and it certainly doesn't require higher speeds. There is MUCH more to the N implementation than just throughput. However just doing the least amount of work to get your N badge is disingenuous.
I've connected my 70IT to a Cisco controller based network that I administer, and I can't get above a 54mbit connection either connected to a 1252 or a 3500 series AP with a 4400 WLC all on the newest code. I do connect at MSC07 which is an N code. I only have 20Mhz enabled on my 2.4 band though and will not be able to test 40Mhz...
I'm not certain if they can make updates to software that can add more N features or not. If so, I wish they would add it to their TODO.
I can't post a link to the whitepaper being a new user, but google for
802.11n mandatory optional whitepaper
and you'll find it on the 2nd link.
Ok, thanks for the information. To bad it seems that i have to stick with g speeds.
So I've been digging into this a bit the last couple of days, and as far as I can tell the Nexus 7 doesn't support wireless N on the 5ghz range, which is sad.
I dig into this, and find others are finding the same: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803798 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777431
However, I have also looked into the chipset, and AnandTech.com, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749498, and the Ifixit teardown agree that it is using a BCM4330, which supports Wireless a/b/g/n 2.4ghz and 5ghz, as well as bluetooth 4.0, and fm radio. I took a look at the radio, and the creator of SpiritFM has concluded that the chip's antenna pin isn't connected, and thus why FM isn't working.
So, my question is then; is the lack of 5ghz on the Nexus7 a hardware or software problem?
It would be nice to have the 5ghz wifi range, as my college campus actually uses it a lot.
It's a hardware issue, and I don't think the lack of 5Ghz is a problem when you consider that the wifi chip only supports single stream at a maximum 65 Mbps. There are a few other devices out there that can support up to 72 Mbps, but that's about it. Tablets and smartphones are almost always a few years behind the standards because it's incredibly expensive to manufacture wifi hardware capable of the latest and fastest standards that will fit inside of a mobile device.
Is there any evidence that its a hardware issue? The chip seems to support it, as i said.
People thought the htc dream (tmobile g1) would never run ics or jb, guess what it can! Not well, but its possible.
So why isn't 5ghz possible? No offense, but 1 person saying its not without any clear evidence wont get me to give up.
I never said speed was an issue, its mostly compatibility, cant hardly connect to campus wifi if my device doesn't support 5ghz; and the 2.4ghz bands are crowded in my apartment complex, a single 5ghz router would do wonders.

The hardware does not support 5ghz. There's nothing more to it.

Proof? Data? Information? There is nothing that I find that says the chip shouldn't work beyond people saying it shouldn't.

It was mentioned during the presentation at the IO convention. Don't have a link.

Check the specs on Broadcom's web page.
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4330
Single-band 2.4 GHz 802.11 b/g/n or dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5Ghz 802.11 a/b/g/n

The important part to note is the "or" in the middle of that statement, which means that there are two different versions of the chip. The HTC One X, for instance, has the dual band version. We've got the cheaper single band version in the Nexus 7.
