Where is wifi N?????

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.

[Q] Widget to toggle 5ghz/2.4ghz

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.

Bad manners...forgot to say thank you for your reply.

Strange Wifi behaviour, 5Ghz works but not 2.4Ghz ?

My phone is Pantech sky A840s. It supports 802.11 a/b/g/n.
The router is Asus RT-N56U
The 2 graphs below showing the wifi performance on 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz when sky A840s is connected to the router via 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz respectively. You can see that although the signal strength for both frequency is very good, the link speed on 2.4 Ghz is very low and the signal-to-noise ratio is unstable.
I can surf the web perfectly and ping without package loss on 5 Ghz but not 2.4 Ghz.
What is the possible cause for the signal-to-noise ratio fluctuate between positive and negative on 2.4 Ghz?

This 2 graphs show that the router has no problem. My other phone, tested at the same position, HTC One SV can connect to the router and the link speed is normal.

I can use 5 Ghz at home but it's very inconvenient when go out because usually, only 802.11g is provided.
Is it a hardware or software problem?
If it's a hardware problem
Doesn't the bluetooth, wifi 2.4 Ghz and wifi 5Ghz use the same antenna in modern mobile phone? Why the unstable signal-to-noise ratio only happen on 2.4 Ghz but not 5 Ghz on Sky A840s?
Can the problem be solved if i made a new wifi antenna according to the following website?

Maybe you have too much interference on the 2.4 GHz? Does it happen everywhere or just at home?

Thank you for your reply.
It happens everywhere.
The connection drop easily when using 2.4Ghz no matter at home, school, workplace, coffee shop or friend's home.

5 ghz wifi

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.

Can I force ZenPad to connect to 2.4 mhz network

I need to set up a smart device but have to be on 2.4, my router broadcasts in both 2.4 & 5. The tablet always connects to the 5.

Give your 2.4 and 5.0 GHz bands different names (SSIDs), then connect to the one you want.

Unfortunately the router won't allow that. I have a Netgear Orbi mesh system, I shut off the satellite's to help cut down the signals.
