Question for you guys. When you use the wifi hotspot on 5 Ghz, do you have the option for multiple channels? Mine only allows channel 149. I used the hotspot hack, and now X tether. Both the same, on 5 Ghz it only allows channel 149. Is that how its supposed to work?

Videos for the htc desire show it with wifi N and the spec sheets show wifi N. Does anybody know if any G2 tear downs show that it does infact have the hardware to run N? Are the devs working on enabling this?

Yes it does. I have wifi n at home connects just fine.

I have tried wifi n at two differ locations.. my gf doesn't pick it either and neither does my friend's g2. What we doing wrong? Our laptops pick up the band easily.

Wifi N can run on either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The G2 only supports 2.4 GHz, but many people run their N routers on 5 GHz to avoid the congestion on 2.4GHz.
You need to go to Menu-Settings-Wireless & Networks -Than Wi-Fi Settings to connect to nearby networks. I noticed when I turned on the wi-fi at first it did not connect right away. You need to view the wireless networks in order to connect. Once you connect it automatically saves. So each time you turn on your wi-fi it connects automatically.

It took me forever to figure this out with my N1. I went through all of the trouble of reconfiguring my router to use N on 2.4GHz, and it didn't make much of a difference anyway. Went back to 2.4GHz for b/g and 5GHz for N (my router has 2 radios).
I actually get a faster/better connection over HSPA+ (up and down) than I get through my router and cable modem.
Most dual band routers running both b/g and n will only allow n to run on the 5ghz band. You can only switch frequencies if your router is running the n band alone.
Hiya folks I am hunting a widget to toggle between 5ghz and 2.4ghz, I am running a Carbon Rom and my router supports dual although my lovely Nexus will only connect to my 2.4 network if on auto, I have to use advance settings in wifi and select 5ghz only, so I would like to turn on 5ghz whilst at home at a flick off a switch!

I have a dual band router, and it has 2 separate SSID's - one for 2.4 GHz and one for 5 GHz. Can you just "forget" the 2.4 GHz network on your phone, or do you only see one network?
My 2.4 has better range (of course not speed) and all my 'other' wifi spots out and about are 2.4 only, also when in auto network my Nexus only sees 2.4ghz.
Edit
Bad manners...forgot to say thank you for your reply.
Sorry this may be noob question but how do I change wifi channel of Wifi Hotspot app. In my old note it was there under show advanced settings but in xperia there is no such options. It currently transmits on channel 1 and I would like to change it.
thanks

I never had an issue with previous phones but when using my hotspot I didn't have the option to stream YouTube for example from same device. To correct this change your hotspot to 5ghz network instead of 2.4 GHz. Enjoy
My download speeds at home on the 5 ghz band setting are around 225-235 mbps, which is the same as my laptop. On the 2.4 ghz band setting my speeds are 85-95 mbps. With my phone set to Auto it always selects 2.4. Can this be fixed? Should I set the phone to always run at 5 ghz? Or should I just forget about it and leave it on auto?

The question was for general purposes, like getting the best speeds when I'm out and about, not just for when I'm at home. Sorry I wasn't clear on that.
