I bought a dual signal wifi router recently and was surprised that my note 2 can connect with 5G,but it is not stable. My rom is DN3 4.4.2. Does anyone can help?
thanks

My router is dual band and I have not noticed any instability. I have not tried fixing the connection to 5GHz only though. (It's an AVM 7390)
I may try later.
only the n standard, not the newest ac standard (which is wifi in the 5 GHz frequencies) as far as i know (and the spec sheets i looked up)
Routers are usually downwards compatible, so thats why your note can connect I think
Mine connects to the 5Ghz spectrum just fine, though it's worth remembering the range is severely crippled compared with 2.4Ghz

I am new to the GS3 on AT&T (or will be when it gets here in the mail, yahoo!!).
I have been a Droid X user for 2+ years, on the Verizon network.
Jumped ship over to AT&T for discount reasons, and decided on the GS3. Wife's arrived last yesterday... horrible WiFi connection issues on our network, but the GS3 would identify both the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz networks from our Netgear router.
After beating my head agains the wall, I ran the UCLH9 OTA update and if fixed the wifi issues, but all we can see is the 2.4 ghz network, and not the 5 ghz anymore.
Any ideas? Thoughts? Discussion?
More of a though than a solution, but maybe they decided to remove the 802.11a functionality from the radio since it is an antiquated standard, not to mention 802.11g for all intensive purposes is exactly the same only on the 2.4Ghz frequency. This could have also been handed down from higher up, from the IEEE or even FCC to make room on the 5Ghz band for new technology. New technology such as 802.11n which runs on both 2.4 and 5Ghz, i'm going out on a limb and guessing your router ins't wireless N capable or you would probably see this. There is also a new wireless standard in development (802.11ac) which will be exclusively on 5Ghz. Spectrum is like land, they* quit making it long ago...the only way to move forward is utilize what is there better and tear down the old stuff in favor of the new.
* I use the term 'they' vaguely, i'm not here to start a theological debate.
I believe our router (Netgear WNDR3700 Dual band) has both. I have a dell laptop that 'sees' both the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz SSID's. So I'm relatively sure the router has both.
I was unaware that N technology runs on both the 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz simultaneously. I'll have to look into this to see if this is related.
The loss of detecting the 5 ghz still makes me go hmmm?
Thanks for the reply.
The router you listed is an N capable router, why your phone isn't seeing the 5ghz band i'm not sure. As my signature shows im running AOKP and the KT747 kernel which uses different wifi drivers. I currently don't have a wireless N network thanks to some lightning earlier this year to check, but i can say i've never had any problem with connecting to any wifi networks. I would start with the router and check the settings there as to how the network broadcasts, what frequencies its on etc. I have had problems in the past with running on the 20/40z frequencies so you might change that to 20 exclusively and see if that helps you.
Hi everyone,
I have my Nexus 7 connected to a Linksys WRT160N router with tomatoRAF firmware installed. This router+firmware+configuration setup was the best I could do without constant dropping of connection or not connecting at all, but still at very slow speed of 0,5 - 1,5 MB/s (average is more around 0,6) when copying files on local network (SMB) with ES File Explorer. Which is good enough for web surfing and emails, but not enough for IPTV and youtube (youtube works, but i have to wait for it a lot).
So far i have tried numerous configurations of my router, nothing works. I tried other routers, 9 to be exact, but i have never seen more than 2MB/s.
Now i'm thinking about buying new router, and I want to know what wifi speeds do you get with which router.
thanks
Hi,
what's your net speed? mine is 26 mbit/s and this is what i get. however, IF you stream sound with BT/have any BT service up and running and your wifi runs at 2.4ghz it is highly probable the two (bt and wifi) interfere. This was the problem i had and which i found out after buying soundbar which links with its subwoofer via BT(BT butchered my wifi, i was scoring 1mbit to up to 26). I have switched to dual band modem/router (tp link td-w8980). now, i have two WiFi networks at my place, one which runs at 2.4ghz and the second at 5ghz. the 5ghz is used only by my nexus :]
N7 2013, Buffalo N300 router, Verizon FiOS 75/25. The router is dual channel, but not dual band: 2.4GHz only.

I had throughput issues with a Linksys WRT54GL and Tomato, was not a configuration problem. Loved the way Tomato worked, how it looked, it's options... but in the end, all I really cared about was throughput. Are you able to replicate the throughput issue on stock router firmware? You said you tried other routers. All the same model (RMA)?
Tell me more about your connectivity issues.
If you've used different routers from different manufacturers (with their respective stock firmware), then it's probably a problem with your tablet.

I had this throughput issue from the day I received my nexus 7 (2013), with stock firmware on router. But with stock firmware, the connection would drop randomly (from 5 minutes to 12 hours) and to reconnect i had to restart the router and nexus - this was corrected only with this firmware TomatoRAF (i tried dd-wrt and 2 more tomato firmwares - all kept disconnecting). I never had this throughput issue with any laptop, only this nexus.
The other routers i tried were all different routers, but all at least 3 years old.
Another information: friends nexus 7 (2013) WIFI, flo, also had same speeds on my router.
today i will try to test a few phones and a laptop on my router and will post results as soon as i can
32gb lte model, I use an Asus ac66u and Comcast 105\25 Mbps. 5ghz WiFi gets me 90 Mbps down and 22-30 up, 55 Mbps down and 22-30 up on 2.4 GHz.

This is what i get (copying files from server with es file explorer):
nexus 7 2013 (kitkat) - 760kB/s
1st xperia ray (kitkat) - 750kB/s
2nd xperia ray (jellybean) - 530kB/s
xperia mini pro (jellybean) - 560kB/s
galaxy s4 mini - 1070kB/s
laptop - 6500kB/s
I used to get 10MB/s+ on my laptop with original linksys firmware, but now i configured router to be more "reliable" and i would be more than happy if nexus had 6,5MB/s connection.
I attached some info about router configuration. If there is an "expert" reading this willing to help, i can post more complete configuration.

Considering how inexpensive it was I"m extremely happy with the TP-Link WR1043ND that I use. With aftermarket antennas I bought as an experiment and the current firmware installed signal strength through walls and general performance is great. I thought about installing third-party firmware on it when I first got it a couple years ago but see no need. For the package I have from Comcast they advertise I think 25 Mbps down and 5Mbps up and I usually see 28/6. If you haven't already done so make sure your router is using the best channel for your location. Also, I see a lot of people move off of channels 1, 6 and 11 which can make them see/cause more bleedover from/to adjacent channels. You can see that in my screenshot with networks MercedesBenz and Sandvik. I live in a house but the effect in an apartment or condo would be worse. I also use a repeater because my router is at the opposite end of the house from my backyard patio and this house has insulated steel siding. Wifi Analyzer is a free app and works great to figure out what channel would work best for you.
Also in the N7's wifi advanced settings I use "2.4 GHz only" which seems to make it reconnect faster when waking up the device because I also use "only when plugged in" during sleep.

I haven't had any problems. All my large lan transfers are done over Ethernet cat 6. If it can pull down 90mbps from wan to wlan on two phones and a tablet, well then there's your sign lol. All these speeds are on n WiFi, I haven't even tried ac because all my machines that need all available bandwidth are hardwired. The router hasn't even required rebooting unless one counts firmware updates and such. Hardline lan to lan is right about 100 MB/s.there's an even faster model out called the ac68u but it's significantly more expensive.

I have the 32GB LTE version... Using an Asus RT-N66U as my access point...
On 2.4 ghz I get 22.5 mbps down and 7.5 mbps up*
On 5 gzh I get 68.4 mbps down and 11.5 mbps up... which is the max speeds I see from my ISP.
*note: there are about 18 strong 2.4 ghz networks visible at my location (surrounded by apartment buildings). 2.4 ghz performance consistently suffers with this level of interference across all of my connected devices.
As far as the RT-N66U goes... I'm very happy with it's performance and range of signal. I was a long time WRT54G user with tomato. This matches almost perfectly.
Hello!
I upgraded my wirelles N home router to a TPlink Archer C7 AC to watch 1080p over my wirelles LAN.
My P601 connect and navegate on the internet @5ghz AC but if i tried to transfer a large file or watch a streaming video, the connection drops or freeze all the time and just back when i reboot note 2014...
Already tried to upgrade the router for the last firmware and disable the wifi power saving in P601.
For now i can streaming videos in 2.4ghz band (not 1080p content) and using 5ghz band i can watch 1080p but using N old protocol...
So... the problem is... what is the problem with Note 2014 kikat 4.4 and the 5GHZ AC connections?? Its very frustading buy a expensive AC router and use only in N speeds...

Try using WEP on 5Ghz AC and see if it helps.

I get over 150mbps down with WEP on my Asus rt-68ru router so I don't see why you should have problems. just make sure you have all the bandwidth options setup right.

Don't forget that 5GHz has a much shorter range than 2.4GHz; since the -AC standard has higher thruput it will also need more signal and what's probably happening is the OP has just enough signal to connect, but not stay connected, especially during periods of high thruput.

Same here (Asus AC-1750), but I can't go outside while on 5GHz as the signal is attenuated too much thru several walls.
(FWIW, I bought an Engenius EAP600 last week and it's been phenomenal- I can even get good 5GHz outside now, but the 2.4GHz N signal blows away all the 2.4GHz APs in my 'hood so I just stay on 2.4GHz now for the range.)
Just got a 1Gb network at home. Via cable from PC I get 700Mb but via Wi-Fi 5GHz only 100Mb. Things get worst with Pixel 2 XL via Wi-Fi 5GHz only 30Mb. My wife with iPhone X via WiFi 2.4GHz around 90Mb.
Is this normal?

No. You need a better router or need to use a less congested channel if you can.

Modem has:
- Wi-Fi up to 1.7 Gigabit per second
- 7 aerials
- 2.4 and 5 GHz
I am on channel 5GHz channel 36 at -30dBm on band 20/30/40 MHz and channel extension 40+44+48
I'm the only one on channel 36: there are three more networks on channel 100
PC and Pixel 2 XL and iPhone are in the same room of modem.
Never mind, it seems that the speed test I was using was bad (the one from Google)
With ookla I get instead:
- PC on 5Ghz: 85Gb/s (it's 2 years old but model is 4 years old so wi-fi card may even be a 5 year old model: intel dual band wireless ac 3165)

I hope you mean Mbps...
Regardless, I think your router isn't setup correctly then. I only have a 450Mbps connection with a Nighthawk R7900 and I max out with speed tests on my Pixel 2 XL, my Alienware Laptop with the Intel 9260 WiFi card, my wife's MacBook Pro, and her iPhone 8.
Yes sure Mbps ?
So what should I do? The device Is from network operator and specs as you can read are very good.
What's your WiFi setting? Ac or n or both? Channel width? Etc

I think you need to do some reading about how to setup your specific model or read reviews about your specific model. Just because it's provided to you does not mean it is a good product.
Sharing my settings will do nothing for you, even if we have the same model because WiFi signals can be affected by your home layout and your neighbors WiFi if they're close to your home.

Never heard of it but I checked the specs and although it's rated for 1300 Mbits/s, I don't know how close you'll actually hit that. Let us know.

Hi all,
I've recently purchased 2x Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro's and I've noticed that the WiFi link speeds are hilariously slow for such a modern phone.
2.4g seems to be limited to a max 72mpbs and 5g is limited to 433mbps. Now, before you say 'it's your router grumblegrumble' it isn't. It's a VMG3925-B10B and its capable of much faster wifi link speeds and I know it is because my older LeEco LEMax 2 got a lot more, so do my laptops, and Ipad. Even my 10 year old Dell 1520 gets faster than 72mbps.
So, now that is out of the way, what on earth is going on? I'm certain that this modern phone must be able of quicker wifi speeds especially considering it's reliant on wifi for connectivity?
I've tried entering the mediatek engineering mode on the phone but can't get into the wifi options (wifi needs to be off, operated too much, constant search on etc) which are all set correct but still doesn't let me in.
Any ideas because this is going to bug the hell out of me. 5G is fine but it's still not acceptable.
Well I have on my router about 36MB/s on 5Ghz.
Redmi Note 8 Pro should also support simultaneously connection on 2,4 and 5 GHz WiFi. But not enabled right now for some reasons.

Unfortunately your speed test doesn't mean squat because it's only testing your broadband connection. Not the WiFi link speed between your device and router.
It doesn't seem like there's any extended bandwidth capabilities?

Who was using Bluetooth while using WiFi?
I watch youtube with BT earphones for example, internet is god damned slow, 144p loads for minutes even on 4G... That seems to be a problem of software. Disconnecting BT brings internet back
