I found the option in the settings where the band can be forced to 2.4, 5 or Auto. On either Auto or 5 the N4 doesn't "see" my 802.11n router (other clients are connected to it just fine). Only b/n/g seems to work for me. The router is a Linksys E3000 running DD-WRT if that matters.
Anyone else?
Well, the Nexus 4 doesn't support 802.11a (see wikipedia etc.)
But 802.11n at 5 Ghz should work.

I don't have wireless A, but one thing to try. Is your 5ghz and 2.4ghz broadcasts named the same? For instance on my wireless N setup I have the router broadcast ROUTER5 and ROUTER2.4 so I can specify which band to connect to. This has eliminated a lot of trouble of my wireless devices not choosing 5ghz when I want them to. So my Nexus4 just connects to ROUTER 5 and I know it is 5ghz.

The SSIDs are different for "5" and "2.4" for exactly the reason you mentioned. But no matter what I can't see the "5" SSID from the N4, while either wifi clients can see both at the same time. The router support simultaneous 2.4 and 5.
Yes. 5Ghz works.
I use it in my house. I'm on it right now with my N4.
Check the security on your router.
You should have a WPA2/PSK AES encryption or leave your network open.
You'll also want to verify your router is broadcasting.
Since your router was flashed with DD-WRT, verify you are in mixed mode or some sort of N G combo.
Thanks for confirmation. It's strange that the phone doesn't even see the router at all, I tried various mixed modes, channels, SSID broadcast is enabled, etc. Other clients have no problems with the router.
I haven't tried this yet, but from reading other reports it may be the case that the N4 (and the N10) only support the 5Ghz band with 20Mhz channels, not 40Mhz. My router is configured to use 40Mhz only so that might explain why the N4 cannot "see" it.

running my Nexus 4 on 5GHz N mode on a Linksys EA6500. My channel width is set to auto so maybe that is why it can be seen and used.
General question though, why have you chosen to use 802.11a anyway? What benefits are there? (honestly curious)
Sort of off topic, but who the crud uses 802.11a?

The subject of my topic is wrong. It should have said 802.11n on the 5Ghz band, not 802.11a. I edited the subject now.
I prefer 5Ghz when possible because I seem to be the only AP on that band whereas 2.4Ghz is crowded.

I have the same router with DDWRT also and my N4 cannot see my n router either. I will look into the band settings tonight.
Just chiming in, Linksys E3000, DDWRT and my 5Ghz network works like a charm
5Ghz works for me just fine.
still having wifi issues, wddrt flashed firmware(iv'e tried all settings) wasted 24hours i think trying to figure it out, solid connection but wifi seems broken, can't download stuff but can browse google playstore
my other wifi devices have NO ISSUES at all with this router
cannot run speedtest, can only run ONE certain type of texting app(strange) others won't connect online
its like my n4 has a 'firewall' or something
seems my best option is to pick BG-MIXED mode! alot mor apps connecting to the internet now but not all! at least im getting progress

Change your channel to 40 or 48. Mine didn't work before but after changing my AP channel to 48, my N4 can see the 5GHz AP now.

Thanks alot ! I had this exact problem with my Tomato-flashed Linksys E3000. I changed the channel of 5ghz from Auto to 48 and voila, Nexus 4 is now cruising happily.
Before, my Nexus 4 did not even detect my wifi N 5ghz AP while all my other devices could. The strange thing is my Nexus could see my neighbors' 5ghz APs but just not mine.

What Channel Width do you use? Auto/10/20/40 - at least these are the options in DD-WRT?
I still can't get my N4 to see my DD-WRT router's 5Ghz AP no matter what I try. I have since acquired an HTC One X+ phone and that has no problem seeing it, together with a bunch of other devices in the house, including a Chromebook. Something going on with the wifi chip and/or software in this LG N4.
Try 20mhz and a low channel like 40 or 48. Works perfect for me on dd-wrt

Anyone know how to get this thing to support all the 5GHz channels? I recall stock it supported unii-1 and unii-3. After installing CM I seem to have lost unii-3.
I went in to \system\etc\wifi and edited the file to use ccode=US instead XY but that didn't help. Normally Samsung great 5GHz support on their Android devices.

is this 5GHZ wifi any faster? how is it different from the default wifi setting?
Do you found a way to unlock the DFS channels for the Nexus 10? It's a shame that the Nexus 10 (and Nexus 4 and 7) only support channel 36, 40, 44 and 48 on 5ghz (US 149, 153, 161, 165, 169).
I would like to use also the channels 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56, 60, 64, 100, 104, 108, 112, 116,120, 124, 128, 132, 136, 140, 144.

There is tons of information on the internet that about 5 GHz vs 2.4 GHz. Below is a link that does a good job describing the basic differences.
http://www.speedguide.net/faq/is-5ghz-wireless-better-than-24ghz-340
The transfer speed is dependent on the bandwidth, not the frequency. 40Mhz bandwidth will allow higher transfer speeds than 20Mhz.
But, cause it is a but, Nexus 10 used to have issues with 40Mhz bandwith. I don't know if it still does. The poor handling of 40Mhz resulted in poor connectivity and especially when connected to routers with auto 20/40 bandwidth. I have 20Mhz bandwidth on my routers 2.4Ghz band and 40Mhz on the 5Ghz band and connect my Note 2 and Nexus 10 to 2.4Ghz and connect my laptops to 5Ghz.

Are you rooted? If so, what kernel are you using. I had a similar issue initially after root, but by changing the kernel, it solved itself. I personally have not had an issue since then.

I bought a new router a few weeks back for the express purpose of using 5ghz. I set it up and I remember it working at the time, but stopped soon after and I never looked back into it until now,just used the 2.4.
I can see the network, and a few other 5ghz networks in the area, but when I try to connect the signal strength drops and disappears for a few seconds. Looking at 20 ft line of sight.
I've set the router to 20mhz band, used every available channel, and disabled encryption. Nothing so far. Any suggestions?

Not that this helps but my wifes N4 cannot connect to any 5GHz network either, i have tried changing the channels etc. but to no avail.
It used to work brilliantly with 4.2 so the blame lies with Google in the latest updates.
I've searched for your problem and I've found that some channels were missing and google added them in 4.4 update ...what android are you on ?
Stock 4.4.2, nothing i have found works thats for sure.
I am having a similar issue, 2.4ghz signal is full strength but 5ghz struggles to keep one bar whereas my Nexus 7 is full strength on both.
Router is an Asus RT-N66U and I'm running CM11 Snapshot M2 on both devices.
Did a full image wipe/install with the official 5.0. I'm no-longer able to connect to my Netgear r6800v2 router with the same channel 48 setting for 5Ghz that previously worked on android 4.4.4.
Any other folks out there with android 5.0 problems using 5Ghz channel?
EDIT: I should add - I'm fully aware the N10 has limited 5Ghz frequencies it works on (e.g. 40, 44, 48) - I've tried 36, 40, 44, and 48... none of these seem to work in android 5.0 with the same router settings. It can see the broadcast and attempts to connect, but IP address is never acquired (DHCP)
I'm having the same issue and my 2.4 network is very slow. Anyone else have this issue or any idea how to fix it.
Yeah I've had issues with 5ghz on every lollipop device I have. Haven't figured out how to fix it yet
I had the same issue and changing to Channel 44 (with Auto bandwidth = 40 mhz) solved it for me, it was on 36 initially
No problems here, did a clean flash of Lollipop and 5GHz is working fine with my RT-AC68U, channel 36, auto bandwidth.
Same problem here. Changed to channel 44 and is at least working
Wiped. Clean flash. No problems. On channel 157. Wish it would tell me if im 300mbit or not. Ac n66u.
Installed from a sideloaded OTA.
Have issues connecting to my Virgin Superhub 2 both on 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.. Channel 8 and 36 i believe.

Go into Settings -> Wifi then tap the connected wifi network. It will tell you your link speed there. Mine is connected at 300mb/s, while in powersaver mode it drops to 24mb/s.

I've similar issue, but both on 5ghz and 2.4ghz.
The connection isn't stable and I get disconnected all the time after upgrading to lollipop. If I'm tethering with my phone right next to the tablet (on 5ghz) it works perfectly. I'm not sure if they've tweaked the disconnect/reconnect threshold base on signal strength.
I'm having problems with 2.4 Ghz wifi too. In Jelly Bean I have a pretty good coverage with my home router but with Lollipop I get lots of disconnections and slow speed. I'm not sure if it's a drivers problem or an operative system change, but I know for sure that it's a pain in the ass.
I'm having the same problem with 2.4 Ghz.
Both 5 and 2.4 are much worse for me as well compared to kk.

I've solved my Wi-Fi speed problems changing one setting in my router: just disable WMM ( Wifi MultiMedia).
Try to enable/disable that setting (can be shown also as WME instead of WMM).
Good luck!

My 2.4g is working perfectly, but it cannot see my neighbours 5g network. My Note 2 sees it fine. I checked with Wifi analyzer app.
I can connect to my BT home hub 5 but it only works for a free minutes and then it kind of freezes.
I'm still connected according to my tablet with good signal strength but there is no internet activity making the tablet pretty much a big paper weight for me at the moment.
If some one can help me fix this issue id be very grateful

Connecting just fine at 5GHz 300Mbps with 5.0. I have tested 2.4GHz as well and both function just fine.
I do connect easly, but connection quality is poor... There is definitely something wrong with Wi-Fi on lollipop

I'm connected to the 5 GHz band on my WiFi AC 2X2 MU-MIMO Router but the link speed is only 72 Mbps instead of the 433 Mbps that I should get on WiFi AC 1X1 Client. The problem is not on the router because my laptop with 2X2 network card can connect at 866.7 Mbps link speed.
When I set my router 5 GHz Mode to 802.11ac only my Mi A1 won't connect to the network anymore unless I set it a again to mixed.

I can connect to the 5 GHz network but i can't get expected 433 Mbps link speed with a AC Router instead of that it only gets 72 Mbps (WiFi N).
Maybe try a custom ROMto see if it is a hardware issue or a ROM issue? I have no issues with 433mbps on 5GHz AC.
If you can also try another 5GHz network to ensure that it isn't a compatibility issue with your router, then we can narrow down the possible issues.
Did it ever connect at a higher rate than 72mbps? Or have you only had this phone for a short time? Maybe see if you can find an older stock ROM to fastboot flash to ensure it isn't the ROM that is messed up?

In which channel if your 5 GHz network working?
PD: This is my second Mi A1 because the previous one got stolen from my house so when I bought it the first thing that I did was installing Oreo and then a factory reset. Also I bought the new router the next day so I've never tested it with Nougat.

In 2.4 GHz it's completely normal unless you set your router channel bandwidth to 40 MHz (not recommended if you live in a very populated area with a lot of nearly WiFi networks) and enable channel bonding on your devices and you'll get 150 Mbps.
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed latest fastboot ROM with MiFlash using clean all and lock, I'm still getting 72 mbps but the WiFi signal has improved and also now I have Mi Drop, Mi Community and Mi File Manager preinstalled. I'll try a custom ROM in this days and I'll post the results.

It's on auto, currently channel 36. I have no problem with 433Mbps connection on 5GHz, being about 20 feet away in another room with 2 walls in between. I can be upstairs in a bedroom, not directly above the router, and still have over 300Mbps connection.
