Hello guys,
my Pixel C does not connect to 5GHz Wi-Fi after boot? Is there a hidden setting? 2.4GHz seems to be fine.
Thx for patience

[Q] 5 Ghz WiFi impossible on Linksys wrt610n

Hello,
I cannot connect to my AP on 5 Ghz
It sees it, it asks for password, but then disconnect and reconnect endlessly
Any idea why
Cheers.
One X does not support 5GHz wifi. I see only 2.4GHz in official spec
Oups, I thought it could as i can see it
Switch your router to 2.4, and it will work
I thought it was 2.4ghz only cos of the specification too but i can connect to my 5ghz frequency on my Netgear WNDR3700.
I can see and connect to my Netgear 5Ghz WNDR4500 no problem at all.
You guys can tell me what parameters do you use for your 5ghz ?
Thanks.
My router is fairly new, just bought it 2 months ago. I didnt change any of the settings, just plug & play. Even didnt change the router password.
The problem is with Linksys router's wireless .
even in my house we used to have a Linksys router , kept on disconnected when over 3 devices are connected to it , keeps on disconnected every 2-3 minutes really.
changed the router , and everything is smooth now

WIFI Channel 44
WPA2 AES encryption
Up to 300 Mbps speed setting
5Ghz a/n network types.
That's all the settings that i've configured, although it works out of the box with stock netgear settings too.......

I have seen some places (specs) where is doesn't show the 5GHz, but the phone supports it.
Not able to connect with 5Ghz WiFi AP

I have tried to double check this spec on the HTC offical website and it does indicate this phone supports WiFi 5Ghz, as it is with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n
htc.com/us/products/htconex-att#tech-specs
however, i have tried to link with a DLink router, DIR-857, and it sees the 2.4Ghz SSID and could connect without any problem, however, not able to see 5Ghz SSID though, i have also tried to set no security and with different channels but seems not have any lucky to this.
i am wondering is there any particular setting to the phone or router double checked with customer service but seem not really help, only ask me to change and try with another AP or router.....
I'm connected to my 802.11a AP with no problems at all. Ditto for 802.11g. I don't have 802.11n here so no idea if that affects it or not.
I didn't need to do anything special on the phone. The AP is a Cisco AP1242AG and it has the usual configuration with WPA2-PSK.

WiFi with a Repeater.

HI guys, i have set a WiFi repeater in my house but every time i go to the 1st floor o have to turn WiFi off and on to make it connect to the repeater, is that normal?
Thanks in advance.
What kind of repeater is it? Netgear? Belkin?
Have you made the SSID the same as your main network? I found that when I did that, my repeater worked flawlessly with my wireless stuff in the house... didn't believe that that stuff actually worked but it was really good to see.
Works fine on my Nexus devices. It doesn't sound normal that you're having that issue - maybe try a reset on the repeater and your main router just to be sure.
It's a Tp-Link, but the thing is i have to turn Wifi off and on on my GNex to make it connect to the repeater, if i don't, it stays connected to the router downstairs, even with a strong signal from the repeater on the 1st floor.
Is this supposed to happen?
Same Issue
I have the same problem with a Nexus 7 / Android 4.2 and a TP-Link repeater.
Android wont switch from Router to repeater even if signal strength is Router: ~50% / Repeater: ~100%.
Switching Wifi off and on works. But there has to be an other solution.
"Best Wifi" is an app that should do this if I understood right, but it did not work for me.
Has anyone a great idea?
Thx a lot!
//edit Repeater and Router have got the same SSID. This is necessary for me.

You could try checking "avoid poor connections" in wifi advanced settings. That might help in auto switching between the two. I gave up on having the same ssid on my router and repeater. My problem was I was auto switching between the two and during the switch there was no data. So now I use 2 ssids; connect to the router when upstairs, and the repeater downstairs.

Thanks for your help. Android 4.2 does not seem to have that option. In the advanced options I set up static IP adress. There was no checkbox like that to be found.
I'm digging up this old thread because it was found easiest in google search and because I have the same question. It seems more and more we have to switch off wifi and then turn it back on to connect to the repeater. I have the same security and same SSID on both. There has to be a solution to this issue by now. Maybe someone can chime in? An S3, S4, S4 Straight Talk and F7 are all doing it.

[Q] i9195 not connecting to wifi n 5 Ghz

Bought brand new I9195 and it only connects to 2.4Ghz, and would not connect to 5Ghz wifi.
We had I9190 and it was connecting to N 5Ghz wifi just fine. My S3 still connects to N 5Ghz fine, all PCs connect to 5Ghz fine, and only speakers connected to 2.4Ghz.
Anybody know what is the problem might be?
Phone have been updated to latest official version of software (via settings menu) and still no 5Ghz connection. Tried before update and still no connection.
need help please.

I've got the same problem. Anyone an idea to fix this
Tnx
Go into the router settings, and select a different 5 GHz channel. Most likely a lower one will work.
Thank you, it works now

Problem 5ghz ac

Has anyone noticed a problem with Wi-Fi 5ghz ac? I'm on 1.32.401.17 and I can connect to 5ghz ac Wi-Fi, but the connection is very very very slow.
Then I switched Wi-Fi on the router (fritzbox) to 5ghz n-a (not n-ac) and it worked.
Why do we have problems with 5ghz ac?
I thought our M9 should work with that standard.

No, I have the same firmware and a ASUS RT-AC68U router. It works just as well as anything else I have.
Seems to work now.

Slow WiFi connection on 5GHz. Can't switch to 2.4GHz on Android 7.1

I've been having trouble with my 5X's WiFi connection.
It automatically connects to the network using the 5GHz band but the speed is incredibly slow and disconnects frequently.
I believe the 7.1 update removed the option in advanced WiFi settings to switch bands from 2.4GHz and 5GHz.
Does anyone know how to manually switch to 2.4GHz on 7.1?
In my router settings I can separate the two bands into two access points but that would mess up my current network setup.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
