I have a problem with the 5 ghz band at my uni. Here my s6 always connects to the 2.4 frequency, even if that's super busy. I know that my uni wi fi has also a 5 ghz frequency (my roomate connects to it) but i don't know how to force the phone to connect to that specific frequency. Anyone knows how?

The 5G frequency will have it's own SSID, just go into your wifi settings and select it.

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.
some day ago i change my home adsl router-wifi ap, and i was looking into the wifi setting: there is the possibility to select the bandwitch.
i try to set 40 Mhz in both bands but i note that the phone disconnect itself sometimes so give a try to set 20 Mhz in both bands, the result is no more disconnection.
don't know if is only fate or if there is an issue regarding the 40Mhz bandwitch, or may be is an issue of my router.
this is my wifi network configuration:
-band 2,4 Ghz
-channel 1
-bandwitch 20 Mhz in both bands
-rate auto
-fragmentation 2346 (my router default)
-wpa2-psk
if you are having some problem with wifi try to change configuration if you can.
plese post if this work for you or your configuration.
i also noticed with my arc WiFi would not work properly if i was using mixed mode authentication on my router..
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!
cheers all43
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.
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?
My modem have 2 different wifi
1- Yavuz
2- Yavuz_5G
I'm connect 5Ghz wifi channel always on my device
You must connect 5Ghz channel

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.
My Wi-Fi speed gets slow down when i turn on the Bluetooth.During speed test i turned of he Bluetooth midway and the speed increased.Solution?Rom RR 6,32gigs 64bit.

A common issue. It doesn't depend of the ROM.
Thats because BT and classic Wi-Fi transmit data by the same frequency band. Newer wi-fi networks transmit over 5 GHz band too.
BT changes the frequency channel between 2,4 to 2,48 GHz, and classic Wi-Fi changes the frequency channel between 2,41 to 2,48 GHz. As you can see, they share the same frequencies, so in some cases they will overlap, that's why WiFI gets slow while you turn on the BT.
The solution i've found is try to connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi networks, obviously.
And sorry if I have bad english...
