Did a full image wipe/install with the official 5.0. I'm no-longer able to connect to my Netgear r6800v2 router with the same channel 48 setting for 5Ghz that previously worked on android 4.4.4.
Any other folks out there with android 5.0 problems using 5Ghz channel?
EDIT: I should add - I'm fully aware the N10 has limited 5Ghz frequencies it works on (e.g. 40, 44, 48) - I've tried 36, 40, 44, and 48... none of these seem to work in android 5.0 with the same router settings. It can see the broadcast and attempts to connect, but IP address is never acquired (DHCP)
I'm having the same issue and my 2.4 network is very slow. Anyone else have this issue or any idea how to fix it.
Yeah I've had issues with 5ghz on every lollipop device I have. Haven't figured out how to fix it yet
I had the same issue and changing to Channel 44 (with Auto bandwidth = 40 mhz) solved it for me, it was on 36 initially
No problems here, did a clean flash of Lollipop and 5GHz is working fine with my RT-AC68U, channel 36, auto bandwidth.
Same problem here. Changed to channel 44 and is at least working
Wiped. Clean flash. No problems. On channel 157. Wish it would tell me if im 300mbit or not. Ac n66u.
Installed from a sideloaded OTA.
Have issues connecting to my Virgin Superhub 2 both on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.. Channel 8 and 36 i believe.

Go into Settings -> Wifi then tap the connected wifi network. It will tell you your link speed there. Mine is connected at 300mb/s, while in powersaver mode it drops to 24mb/s.

I've similar issue, but both on 5ghz and 2.4ghz.
The connection isn't stable and I get disconnected all the time after upgrading to lollipop. If I'm tethering with my phone right next to the tablet (on 5ghz) it works perfectly. I'm not sure if they've tweaked the disconnect/reconnect threshold base on signal strength.
I'm having problems with 2.4 Ghz wifi too. In Jelly Bean I have a pretty good coverage with my home router but with Lollipop I get lots of disconnections and slow speed. I'm not sure if it's a drivers problem or an operative system change, but I know for sure that it's a pain in the ass.
I'm having the same problem with 2.4 Ghz.
Both 5 and 2.4 are much worse for me as well compared to kk.

I've solved my Wi-Fi speed problems changing one setting in my router: just disable WMM ( Wifi MultiMedia).
Try to enable/disable that setting (can be shown also as WME instead of WMM).
Good luck!

My 2.4g is working perfectly, but it cannot see my neighbours 5g network. My Note 2 sees it fine. I checked with Wifi analyzer app.
I can connect to my BT home hub 5 but it only works for a free minutes and then it kind of freezes.
I'm still connected according to my tablet with good signal strength but there is no internet activity making the tablet pretty much a big paper weight for me at the moment.
If some one can help me fix this issue id be very grateful

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.

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)

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.

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

for those with wifi 'broken' try to change your router settings to WPA2 personal (TKIP+AES) that seems to work for me now,
other settings 'broke' the wifi
this might be just an issue with must me and my router
*spoke too soon: still broken, it only works certain times, mostly it just spins when i try to connecto to online
the wifi icon keeps flashing a black dot... that means the wifi is NOT working right? it should be just a solid blue bars?
on wifi advanced settings, WPS Pin Entry - what is this and do i need to enter that pin on my router?
still no luck with wifi on my network after flashing back to stock 4.2 from 4.2.1
same 'broken' wifi
might be this phone's wifi hardware is incompatible with wDDRT router?
Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) std
my other wifi devices work perfectly fine, so im really stumped
in phones advance wifi settings it has this WPS entry - what is this and is it somehow not allowing me full wifi?
i can view playstore,, it checks and loads my gMail but it won't connect to websites
it takes so long to download and install apps from playstore, i have to hit cancel, redownload, reinstall to get it working,etc. its not 'instant' like normal 20Mbps wifi should be
ran speedtest.net app and it wont connect to any servers
if anyone has clues to why my wifi is broken, please PM me thanks
it get a blue 3 to 4 bars on wifi signal but it keeps having this 'black' dot flashing in that wifi signal bar, (what is that?)
shows connected to my wifi at 72Mbps at good strength
I found my solution: in my router I unchecked the option WMM (Wi-Fi-multimedia)-settings (2.4GHz b/g/n). After I activated it, my data speeds increased enormously. Try it & report!

Hello, I am also having problems with WIFI. I've tried a lot of things (change the router configuration, the cellular exchange kernel, etc ...) but I could not fix this problem. Can you give any more ideas? I've even thought about buying another router but can be giving the same problem.
I used my wife's phone as a router and it works normally, but when I connect directly to the router from home and he trasfere data only for a few moments and then transferring data, although still seem the symbol of wifi connected.
I found changing a setting on the Nexus 4 seems to have remedied most of my WiFi issues. Forcing the WiFi frequency band to 2.4GHz only instead of Auto appears to have done the trick for me.
In WiFi if you select Settings and Advanced under Wi-Fi frequency band there is an option to force 5GHz or 2.4GHz with the default on Auto.

I bought a new router a few weeks back for the express purpose of using 5ghz. I set it up and I remember it working at the time, but stopped soon after and I never looked back into it until now,just used the 2.4.
I can see the network, and a few other 5ghz networks in the area, but when I try to connect the signal strength drops and disappears for a few seconds. Looking at 20 ft line of sight.
I've set the router to 20mhz band, used every available channel, and disabled encryption. Nothing so far. Any suggestions?
Buffalo WZR-1166DHP 2.13
AOKP build 1-24
.98 modern
Not that this helps but my wifes N4 cannot connect to any 5GHz network either, i have tried changing the channels etc. but to no avail.
It used to work brilliantly with 4.2 so the blame lies with Google in the latest updates.
I've searched for your problem and I've found that some channels were missing and google added them in 4.4 update ...what android are you on ?
Stock 4.4.2, nothing i have found works thats for sure.
I am having a similar issue, 2.4ghz signal is full strength but 5ghz struggles to keep one bar whereas my Nexus 7 is full strength on both.
Router is an Asus RT-N66U and I'm running CM11 Snapshot M2 on both devices.
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!
So I finally figured this out - pre the latest update 5 ghz wifi on the Oneplus 6t worked flawlessly. Then the latest update came down (ironically over 5 ghx wifi) applied and rebooted and poof 5 ghz wifi no longer works. It connects, it gets ip, it can see the router everything looks normal but if i try to go anywhere on the internet - it tells me i am off line . 2.4 ghz wifi works just fine but the 5 ghz is broke. It took me a while to find this because I would auto switch to wifi at work and at home and didn't realize what was going on. Playstore would not download, app updates never came trhough. If I turned wifi off it all worked but then I am eating my data plan. Just an FYI to anyone having odd issues suddenly.
Weird. Mine still works fine on 5 GHz after 9.0.11 update (8/256 OP direct, totally stock unrooted).

Sorry. Can't reproduce issue.
For those that it works on 5 ghz - what band is your 5ghz on - if you check your wifi under network details see if it says 5 ghz or defaulting 2.4? (some people have combined wifi that will place you on what ever network is fastest) - also if you could show post your link speed (show on the Oneplus 6t under network details for wifi
Actually - I did a quick test and I could be incorrect. I set up a guest network with 5 ghz no password and got on it just fine and can pull 400 Mbs. My network password is complex so that might be what is causing the issues . I am going to experiment with a shorter password to see if that fixes it - but that would be a shame if that is the fix as it worked just fine before.

On tmobile, unlocked, flashed through twrp, no issue 5ghz as far as i can tell.
So I experimented more. Here are the results. No matter what I did to my internal wifi I could not get a connection on 5 Ghz. No issues on 2.4 with a long pw, a short pw- aes or tkip wpa or wpa2. But cannot, will not go anywhere on 5 ghz. Here is the odd thing. I can set up guest wifi on my router so I did. I set it up with no pw and boom, 2.4 g, 5 ghz1 and 5ghz2 - all of it. Then I turned on wpa/wpa2 and encryption (auto/aes/tkip) and set a password...and boom. Still working?? Exact same set up internal Wifi - nothing same issues. It's Bizarre. I turned off all the fancy settings for internal wifi like link sharing, fastest connection - I separeated them out to 2.4g/5G1/5g2 just like my guest and ...nothing. I can connect all day long but it just cannot get to anything on the internet. So for now I guess I am stuck using my guest network.
To the others who said they have the issue - what brand of router? - Mine is the TP-LINK AC5400
working fine here, verified that 5ghz is connected in settings

For those that it works on 5 ghz - what band is your 5ghz on - if you check your wifi under network details see if it says 5 ghz or defaulting 2.4? (some people have combined wifi that will place you on what ever network is fastest) - also if you could show post your link speed (show on the Oneplus 6t under network details for wifi

In my network details it says frequency 5 GHZ and my Link speed is 866 Mbps.

So I experimented more. Here are the results. No matter what I did to my internal wifi I could not get a connection on 5 Ghz. No issues on 2.4 with a long pw, a short pw- aes or tkip wpa or wpa2. But cannot, will not go anywhere on 5 ghz. Here is the odd thing. I can set up guest wifi on my router so I did. I set it up with no pw and boom, 2.4 g, 5 ghz1 and 5ghz2 - all of it. Then I turned on wpa/wpa2 and encryption (auto/aes/tkip) and set a password...and boom. Still working?? Exact same set up internal Wifi - nothing same issues. It's Bizarre.

This sounds like it's a DCHP server issue with your router.

can't be - dhcp is band agnostic and it works - I get an ip address on 2.4 and 5 ghz just cannot get anywhere on 5ghz when using my home internal router set up - plus when I set up guest network on the same router I am just fine. And it worked just fine before the latest Oxygen update (that and I have about 18 devices on wifi all working just fine - including my oneplus 6 running the same Oxygen update - ) Has to be a bug of some kind.
Same problem here, oneplus 6T and Oxygen 9.0.11. I have this bug since update from 9.0.10 to 9.0.11.
I'm not on TMobile (see on reddit about oneplus_6t_update_breaks_google_play_certification), i'm in Italy with TIM operator.
I have problems with Fastweb Fastgate Router (Askey RTV1907VW), wifi 5ghz is connected but i can't browse, i can't do a speedtest from App on OnePlus 6T, etc.
But now in my office, i have a Vodafone 5GHz router, and i don't have any issue!
Could be a problem of the "channel" for 5Ghz wifi connection?
