WiFi is definitely 802.11n...

Following Google page states 802.11n:
http://www.google.com/phone/static/en_US-nexusone_tech_specs.html
Following HTC page incorrectly omits 802.11n and shows 802.11b/g:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/nexusone/specification.html
Using SwiFTP 1.12 and a D-Link DIR-825 with a PC directly wired to the wireless AP via GbE, I get the following results:
Code:
ftp> put 1.0-update-nexusone-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip
200 PORT OK

ftp: 68512910 bytes sent in 32.87Seconds [B][COLOR="Red"]2084.36Kbytes/sec.[/COLOR][/B]
ftp> quit
WPA2-PSK using AES-only.
I'm too lazy to look at the Broadcom specs but from the looks of it, it's definitely a 1x1 WiFi radio seeing it's only a 65Mbps link at 100% signal strength.

Neither of those links you gave shows Wireless-N and it has already been confirmed that it has Wireless N & FM t capability just like the iPhone 3GS and newest iPod Touch, but none of these devices have it enabled.

My nexus hasn't been able to see my N network. Although, mine is set to run in 5gHz and I see yours is running 2.4gHz Going to try switching to 2.4 and see if that works.

Looks like Google removed the references to 802.11n. It was there on the page the first few days it was up. I assure you, 802.11n is enabled on the stock Nexus One.

Doesn't work for me.... Also don't see why they would remove or fail to list an advantage.

11n is definately not enabled - the N1 can't even see my N network.
btw. "2084.36Kbytes/sec." is well within 11g speeds.. it's about 16Mbps.

Its been removed from the Google site now...

So why is the link speed 65Mbps? That's not within 54G specs.

That's what your router says.. it's not the speed you're getting, so I wouldn't trust it.

I've set my router into N only mode. The N1 connects at 65Mbps - which, as has been pointed out - is an N speed, not a G speed. No G device connected to the router when it was in this mode. The router reported the N1 as connected at 802.11N.
My N1 has an 802.11N radio, no question.
I doubt it actually needs or can fully use that speeds, but that's another matter.
Now I'm sort of tempted to setup another router that is N only just for the N1, BTW. That radio locked on to the N only router faster than I've ever seen it pick up any access point, including the same one in mixed mode.

I would have to agree, the Nexus One has an 11n radio in it.
Reason I know this is all last night and this morning I didn't have 3G (I now do at this time after logging into TMOs website), so I had to connect to my Linksys WRT600N.
WRT600N is running the latest DD-WRT...and I'm currently broadcasting N and A only with WPA2 Personal (AES/TKIP). On top of that, I am only running one of the two APs in my router, the one using the 5GHz band only.

theres an easy way to test it. Go into router settings and set your Wirless setting to 802.11n only, then check to see if the nexus one connects to it.

No, it's the negotiated speed. a G device would never negotiate 65

Not sure how you get more definitive than this:
ifixit teardown:
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-One/1654/2
Wireless chip is a BCM4329. FM Transmitter and receiver. Neat!
BCM4329 Specs:
http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4329

There's no doubt the chipset is N capable (whether it's setup that it could be enabled in software is yet to be determined). However is is *not* enabled. Both HTC and Google say this. Testing shows that if you switch a network into N only mode the phone cannot see it.. what more do you need?

According to the anecdotal evidence provided above, it is enabled, but not dual-band, just 2.4ghz.
Note:I don't have a Nexus yet, just summing up other people's observations.

Is anybody else having wifi issues?

Literally received my N4 about 30 mins ago and Ive set it up etc. Ive noticed that the Wifi seems to be weak compared to all my other devices I have around me (it goes up and down and actually dropped out altogether once).
Anybody else have wifi issues?

hmm...i think so, yes
Gnex speedtest on wifi 5.19Mb
N4 speedtest on wifi 2.11Mb
not an "issue" but definitely slower

I have seen an improvent over my HTC Desire. With my 50 Mbps DL / 5Mbps UL
My results:
With WiFi N: 45 Mbps download / 5 Mbps Upload (The speedtest app just gives random download speed as I don't even get to see the download speed bar) Singal is between 40 and 60% according my router.
With WiFi G: 19 Mbps download / 5 Mbps Upload (Pretty much maxing the G bandwith) signal is 95% as the router is in the same room.

I just got phone this morning. I get my max 25 mg dl 5 upload and have had no issues

Mine was working poorly just as you described. I turned off WiFi optimization in the settings (says it helps with battery life, so I'm assuming this weakens WiFi) and I looked around in my router settings. It was set to 145Mbps (neighbor-friendly mode apparently) and was giving me less than 5Mbps up or down. After bumping it up to 300Mbps (performance mode), it is now giving me full speed for my 30/5 connection.

I'm having trouble connecting to my cisco router. It would say either "obtaining IP address" or "authenticating", then the connection breaks and it attempts to reconnect.

No issues for me.

I had an issue on mine where it lost connection with my wifi router, then kept showing no networks in range (usually there are around a dozen showing up due to neighbors). I tried turning wifi on and off, going into airplane mode, finally had to restart the device entirely to get wifi to detect any networks again. Hasn't recurred, but it does make me concerned.

Seems good to me:

I'm having problems connecting to my Buffalo router with WPA2 security. It connects just fine to my guest network that uses WEP authentication on the same router, but it just says authenticating or obtaining IP on my main network. My router is a BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N450 - WZR-HP-G450H using DD-WRT... Is Buffalo crap and that's my problem?? My Gnex connects to it fine.
I've tried disabling/enabling wifi, airplane mode then out of it, and rebooting my Nexus 4 without any luck.

I had this issue but toggling wifi fixes it.

I have a 30mbps down 5mbps up connection at home and I get those speeds on my phone over a wireless n connection at 5ghz. No issue with wifi at all.

5GHz WiFi dropping

Anyone else having this issue? My tablet will randomly stop seeing my 5GHz network, other devices aren't having this issue, and it's still seeing 2.4GHz networks.

Try changing the channel manually in your router settings. Some mobile devices are really picky about this...same issue happens to my gf's Galaxy Nexus. I don't own this device yet, but this is some general advice that I'd try first.

Mine is similarly having trouble connecting to 5GHz networks from time to time. It seems that when the tablet set to 'auto' it stops scanning for 5GHz networks. If you manually set it to 5GHz it will immediately find the network. Hopefully there will be a bug-fix.

check your routers 5Ghz settings. Make sure you have it on a 20mhz channel if given the option as 40mhz or hybrid 20/40mhz will usually give you connection errors.

dont set auto, try manually and check router settings, it could be help to fix bug

Haven't connected mine to 5GHz on either of the dual band routers at my house. I always just use 2.4GHz with all of my devices. I'll try them both in little bit to see what my results are though.
Sent from my '13 Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

The issue I think is that 5GHz is not nearly as effective at maintaining a strong signal through obstructions like 2.4GHz is. I only get a 2 bar signal in a room on the other side of my router while I get a 4-5 bar connection strength with 2.4GHz in the same room.

I was having trouble with 5Ghz too (I was using 802.11a). In order to even get a stable connection, I had to change channels on the router. But as previously noted, it does seem that it has more problems with obstructions. I sometimes lost connection with just one wall between me and the router, but with 2.4Ghz, everything was fine.
I have never had this problem with my GS3 or with any other phone that I've used on 5Ghz.

I think higher frequency in general is harder to penetrate obstructions. Same with my 5Ghz on both my routers. Will have to change the channel to see if it helps my connections. I leave it on 'auto'

Not having any issue connecting to 5ghz band. It does get a little weak when upstairs but has not dropped.

I was seeing 25 MBS down the first time I connected to my 5ghz, and then it dropped it one day and never showed up until I reset my network and now I'm only getting 8, 12 if I'm lucky.

You saying you were getting faster speeds on 5GHz than you do on 2.4GHz? Or were you just mentioning the speeds because it's now slower on the same 5GHz router?

I would normally only get 8-15 on 2.4ghz on my tablet, and I when I went to my 5ghz network, it was set to auto on the channel width And for some reason it knocked off and I couldn't join again. After I reset it, I was only getting 6 mb on the 5ghz. I just changed it back to 20mhz channel width, and it's flying. 64mbps link speed, and 24mbps down, 2.80 up.

I have had issues with my N7 dropping signals altogether. I have one router (upstairs) w/ 5ghz and another (downstairs) on 2.4ghz. My N7 doesn't even see the 2.4 and will occasionally drop the 5 and rebooting won't fix it, nor turning on airplane and off.

Have you used the same SSID on your 5GHz as on your 2.4GHz?
If so: they must be different!

Did you find a solution? I have the same pproblem.This plus the unstable connection problem is making me miss my note 1

Found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675547 on 5ghz connection issues on Note 1 in Hong Kong. It describes channel limitation based on region. The file in my etc folder has ccode=GB which I assume is Great Britain. However, it allows the channels that my wifi router EA4500 is using on the 5ghz channel. So no luck on recognizing the 5 ghz network still.
I downloaed wifi analyzer and looked at my network. By default my router and I assume all the ones in my neighborhood use channel 1 on 2.4ghz. I just switched to channel 12 and there hasn't been any issue for the past hour i.e. no unstable connection warning from the phone. Just downloaded a 40MB file without any glitches at good speed. Will report back if the problem comes back.
Edit: Spoke too soon. Unstable connection warning back in a couple of hours. The interesting thing is that both my old Note 1 (N7000) and my wife's S4 can see and connect to the 5ghz SSID just fine and of course have no unstable connection notifications which seem to be an 'enhancement' in the note 3! Sigh Haven't even rooted the N9005 because of the knox flag or I would have played a bit with the wlan configs in the etc folder. Guess will have to wait for Samsung to come around to admitting a problem and then fixing it.

With this setting enabled, my wifi is unstable even if the signal power is full.
Also make sure that you have the latest firmware on your router.

Cannot scan 5Ghz Dual band Wifi on Airplane Mode

Hi fellow S7 users,
Just like to asf if everyone with this handset are not able to find 5Ghz dual band wifi signal when Airplane Mode is On? I was able to scan the same dual band signal on other phones and tablets on other brands while on Airplane mode.
Is this normal to samsung or a known issue?

I just tested, I can still scan and connect to 5GHz Wifi on airplane mode.

Tried it again just now but still cannot scan and find my 5ghz wifi. My router has to ssid, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. When I'm on Airplane Mode, i can only scan the 2.4Ghz. Not sure if it depends on the router. I'm having TP-Link Archer C7.

My router setting is not set to automatic and I selected the channel manually. Will try to do some things on my router later.

I managed to make the 5Ghz wifi work while on airplane mode. I change the router channel (lower channel). I manually selected a higher channel previously but after changing to lower channel, it is fully working now.

I confirm this is the fix!
Im in Australia with an Optus-branded Galaxy S7 G930F.
And I found that when in Flight-mode, it doesnt detect any 5ghz WiFi channal above #48 !!!
So if you're having issues detecting 5ghz WiFi when in flight mode, just configure your router to use channel #48 or below.

I Have the same problem with my s7 edge. And i fix it with changing the region of wifi -

Your 'channel' setting is set to Auto...
So its likely that the router just happened to have Automatically chosen channel #48 or below.
The status in your router might tell you which channel is currently elected.
Or you can install a WiFi-analyser app on your phone so see what channel your WiFi is using.

@wildchill, no man i fix it. Just i change wifi region from bugarian to american
