After reading a bit it's seems to be a common issue on ICS and later. My device occasionally looses it's wifi connection, at which point I have to go to settings and turn the wifi off and on. Is there a better solution to this problem? My router is using WPA2-PSK and is on channel 7.
Wifi seems to stay on fine here, but I cannot connect to 5ghz, only 2.4ghz. Not sure if this is an issue or if the Wifi chip only supports 2.4 ghz.

it doesnt connect to 5ghz, unless theres a trick to it??? but use wifi analyzer and look for the strongest channel on ur wifi router to fix ur problem
Turn off multimedia support on your router if all else fails

Yea I'm having trouble as well. I have a telus smart hub at home and it is super slow. Then when I use my hotspot on my Gnex from rogers, it runs fine, although this app takes awhile to load.
Tried playing with the settings, only think I couldn't find was the 5ghz and 2ghz.
Try some more playing tomorrow and look for different routers

Can I ask someone with nexus 7 to check if it connects with wifi AD-HOC network without problems?
I use my old LG gt540 as a 3g modem + wifi router, but it works only with ad-hoc. For example my HTC Sensation can't connect to such a network.
edit: NO, it does not connect with AD-HOC
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?

I know the device does not support 5ghz for wifi.
Sometimes some devices come with the 5ghz mode for the hotspot even though the wifi ac, 5ghz, option is not available, for e.g Samsung Avant.
Can anyone who owns this device find out for me if the device has the option to launch hotspot in 5ghz mode?
It should be in the configure menu under tethering and hotspot right under where you choose a password.
I really appreciate everyone's effort.
Thanks
No, it hasn't.
This information maybe obvious to some but I completely overlooked this in fact support didn't even know what I was talking about when I found the solution to my connection issue.
These android car stereos only see the 2.4Ghz wireless radio frequency they will not connect to a 5Ghz radio.
My phone's default WiFi tethering setting was to use the 5Ghz radio frequency and I could not get two different units to connect. Even when the solution was staring me in the face it didn't occur to me the phone would use the 5Ghz radio frequency. I should have realized my phone's hotspot was on 5Ghz when the car stereo could only see the 2.4Ghz radio of my home WiFi and not the 5Ghz radio. If you have a newer phone or hotspot check the advanced settings for tethering.
I hope this information is useful and helps someone in the same situation as me.

I'm trying to add some Sonoff devices to my works WiFi network, via the eWeLink app. The app only supports 2.4ghz but my phone has a preference for the 5ghz network. Both 2.4 and 5ghz are using the same SSID and because of other devices connected I can't rename one or temporarily turn off 5ghz...
Any way round this other than buying an old phone or tablet just for adding devices?
