wifi bands

Does the Nexus 4 have all the wifi bands... 802.11abgn or just the 802.11bgn?
I couldnt find an answer to this.
Hopefully someone who hasbhe device and also uses the a-band can chime in...
Thanks

Thanks mate.
It comes to me as a surprise because Google doesn't list 802.11a support for the Nexus 4 on the Play store specs.
Is 802.11a not officially supported by android? I ask because even in my Galaxy Nexus (and this is just couple a days ago with full wipe and installing 4.2.1 from the stock rom via adb), i initially tried to connect via my 5Ghz network but it just wouldn't connect for the life of me. 2.4Ghz worked like a champ.
EDIT: I should note that the problem with the 5Ghz band is only upon initial starts. If I disable and re-enable wife, 5Ghz works just fine, but I simply don't get why it fails on the first try.

802.11n also uses the 5Ghz band, or do you honestly mean 802.11a, that most ancient of wireless standards?

yes 802.11n "can" potentially use the 5Ghz "a" band if the 5Ghz "a" band is supported.
802.11n standard was designed to implement speed rates upto 450mbps (depending on the number of channels being bonded)
802.11n doesn't simply imply that it can use the 5ghz and 2.4ghz bands. it has to state that its 802.11abgn for me to be able to do "n"-speeds over 2.4ghz or 5ghz
google play store's specs show 802.11bgn which implies its only 2.4ghz.
if its 802.11abgn, then it works for me because i use the 5ghz exclusively to avoid the noise of all the 2.4ghz channels around me and theres a ton of them

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

[Q] Nexus 4 does not connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi network

Hi,
I have both a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz Wi-Fi network, but for some reason my Nexus 4 can't find my 5GHz network. Anyone know of any solutions? I'm running Android 5.0.1 stock.

Under advanced in wifi settings change the wifi frequency to 5ghz and see if you can see your network

Hmm, still wasn't able to get it to work.. I've reset both my modem and my router as well, no luck.

This might be a lollipop issue, as i remember reading somewhere that lollipop has issues with 5GHz Wi-Fi bands. If you are willing, you can try downgrading to 4.4.4 KitKat and giving it a shot.

5ghz hotspot

Hi guys,
Just asking, are there any roms for OnePlus2 that supports 5ghz mobile hotspot? Or is just the hardware that don't supports 5ghz mobile hotspot?
Thanks

You asking about oneplus 2 phone?
Then it's hardware supports dual band wifi that means you can access your dual band wifi as well as can create hotspot of dual band, for enabling dual band hotspot you just need Android marshmallow in your phone, every marshmallow ROM supports it

i hope so, tried on OOS. the 5ghz band hotspot isnt working

It works on CM 14.1. My hotspot is able to host using 802.11ac. Bandwidth is 433mhz. Beats the pants off the 2.4ghz hotspot.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Try changing wifi band to 5ghz,

Bluetooth disconnect when wifi tethering is on and perform a call

Hi team,
I have wifi tehetering on and the bluetooth paired (car or handsfree). If I try to call or i receive It, the bluetooth and wifi tether disconnect and after the call, the networks go alive.
I have a Nokia 6 ta-1003. Any help?
Thanks in advance

I guess both radios, Wifi and BT, were operating in the same the 2.4GHz band and were overlapping with some LTE band. Try changing Hotspot band to 5Ghz and see if it helps. You cannot change BT band though.
I guess LTE bands 40,41 can clash with 2.4Ghz Wifi/BT

Thanks, changed wifi tethering to 5ghz works, but my car only support 2,4 ghz
My last phone (Samsung A5) works nice with 2,4ghz wifi tethering and BT. IS It only a Nokia 6 issue?

I'm not sure it's Nokia 6 specific issue. Probably your A5 did not support LTE bands which clash with Wifi/BT at 2.4 GHz.
You can also try disabling 4G/LTE and force 3G only on your Nokia and see if Wifi/BT disconnect during calls.

I have the same problem which started after the phone got updated to 8.1
With 8.0 it was working fine. I contacted Nokia support but they were far from technical and offered some trivial changes in the settings which didn't help. They were not even authorized to register it as a bug.
I'm afraid that unless the phone receives another software update, we're stuck with this.
Alex.

Thanks a los for your reply.
Do hoy think that we could fix It changing LTE band channel?
