I read that the Nexus One is going to get WiFi 802.11 n support but I couldn't tell from the Verizon page if the Incredible already has it.
Does anyone know?
It supports 802.11a and 802.11n out of the box

i dont think it does support wireless N
earlier reports said wireless n support but nothing about that in the official verizon specs
you guys need to get one and open it to find out it it contains a certain model of bradcom chip which exists in (desire , nexus one & hd2 )

aka, if the drivers aren't there now, they will be at some point in the future. The interesting thing about that broadcom chip is that it supports an FM transmitter so that you can tune your car radio to a particular station and hear the audio from your phone. No driver support yet and no confirmation if we need anything aside from this chip.
about wireless N
From what i have read it dose not have wireless N
its does have wireless 802.11 b/g but no N sorry guys

Same information was said about the nexus one until someone opened it and found out it was N compatible.
I'm pretty sure they'll have the same chip as he N1, can't imagine they use another one, but you can be sure that someone's gonna tear appart the device when it comes out for the masses.
i hear n support will be enabled with the 2.2 release!!
It will be enabled for sure with the 2.2 update.

VZW source.
So when do they expect this update?
I dont have an N router anyway... but under specs on most pages I read it says b/g/n...
http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/04/13/htc-incredible-specs/
last spec in the left column
Incredible can see N wifi signals
I put my wireless router to N only broadcast and I can see it but it will not connect, so I think that it has it but is just disabled. because if it didn't support wireless N it wouldn't even see it as a connectible wifi hotspot

What is this obsession with wireless N lately? What possible use is there for a faster local area network connection on a smartphone?
What am I missing?
Good point for me its just the fact that I can turn my router back to N only mode for my computer etc. Had to have it on both N and G just so my device could use it.
That and I guess for the added range you can get from it. not something I need but could be a reason.

Okay, I guess range is a reasonable reason for N on a smartphone. Being able to run a router in N mode only seems like it should be a silly reason but since some routers seem to have trouble in G/N mode, that's legit as well.
So it's not about transfer speed so much as connectivity. I was missing something.
I can connect to my N router in N only mode just fine with my Nexus One as is...
I'm running DK28 and Wireless Tether 2.0.5 RC1, and see only WEP support in the settings.
Running 2.0.5 RC1 on Evo with Froyo 2.2.1, the settings menu shows WPA2 support.
The two phones' Wireless Tether settings menus are different, as if I'm running different versions (but I'm not). One with WPA2, the Epic only with WEP.
How come?

They don't have working code to run infrastructure mode on the epic yet. Simple as that.

Using wifi at work would be one reason. Most employers are going to be using WPA rather than WEP (doesn't apply to me as I get yelled at if I use my work's wifi...).

Well supposedly (sp) BTthomas was working on it, however i dont see it being done anytime soon especially with official froyo being out yet, also if you look in the android development jr the guy that brought mobile ap to stock 2.1 rom which is infrastructure and awesome changed his thread to a WIP "Work in Progress" We might see it when the source drops possibly, if that comes b4 2012..

I use my phones (me = Evo, wife = Epic) for my only internet access. I cut the cable bill to save money. I have set up a router to repeat the Wireless Tether infrastructure signal of my Evo. (This way my entire network can use the signal, even wired computers) Currently, my wife's phone does not have the capability to broadcast in infrastructure mode, therefore the signal can't be repeated or passed on to wired computers on my network.
But, for most to who don't use their phones this way, it is still a much better signal with my Evo broadcasting an infrastructure signal.
Does that cover it?
Will there ever be wireless n for the Evo, I understand that the chipset might have been built on g but how was someone able to get it working on a nexus one? Would the broadcom company have to release a driver; I heard a rumor that our wifi driver COULD support N but that was just something I heard. And Lastly, Isn't wireless n the standard now why is this not common in phones yet lol. Not only does the wifi on the Evo stink, its not even wireless n and it stinks

UPDATE: i was mistaken about the n, it does have N just not 5ghz. I found this on the netgear website. Stupid Routers.
It has some wireless n. I've seen it on my airport extreme at 78 MB/s so that's N for sure. But it only does the 2.4 Ghz not the 5 Ghz.

Pretty sure wireless N was enabled with one of the earlier OTAs. Mine is definitely connecting with N and works fine... I'm running Calk's EViO rom with netarchy kernel.

This was my impression, as well.
Really guys? Hmmm I've never been able to get it to find my ssid on my wireless n netgear and everything else picks it up fine. I guess I was wrong then and very mistaken. I was really under the impression that the evo didn't have wireless n *scratches head* . I think my router is set on n and a mixed. I tried to change it but my Evo has never been able to find it. I've been all over netgears site and nothing. Just odd that my Evo is the only thing that doesn't see it. I tried on sense and aosp.

i tried man nothing, the section where you can change it from 5ghz is like grayed out. i have 2 n routers they act as an access point and bride, or you can use them as single n routers, my xbox and laptop pick them up but maybe that plays a part with the 5ghz. I guess when ur wrong ur wrong; maybe my routers of 5ghz only and thats why my evo cant see it. Might be time for a new router then; heres a screenshot of my access page it wont even let me remove 5ghz lol stupid netgear.
You gotta change where it says N only. It should be mixed or g and n mixed. Then it will give you a option to use 2.4 Ghz.

I have a netgear dual band router (2.4 & 5Ghz) after much searching and messing around in the router settings I've accepted defeat on connecting to the 5ghz band with the EVO. :'( Plus I really dont see any added benefit anyway considering im already browsing and streaming on my phone without any problems.

Those are 5ghz only. I have them as well. Evo can only use the 2.4ghz band. Which you've rightly figured out.
You could always set your router to broadcast 2.4 N is its capable like mine is. Then use those as a bridge/ap combo. That's how I have mine done.
Wow. A 5 Ghz band only router.

Those aren't routers but ap/bridges.

I dunno. I don't have any problems aside from wireless taking a little while longer than I like to connect to my router which fools my juice defender into thinking there isn't any wireless then disabling it to save battery.
When it's connected though its plenty fast.

Even when I unchecked it I still couldn't change the freq to anything other than 5ghz; so yes they are only 5ghz which is weird.

I believe on the box (threw mine away) they state 5ghz only.

Nope...not yet. It is very desired ability people are looking for though...I'm sure someone will develop something soon.
I really hope something is dev soon... I am currently using the risky DFRouter App. that could get me stuck in modem mode for ever & ever at any moment... Also it would be really great to have ad-hoc support... (in order to see & connect to ad-hoc signals) Take care everyone...

Isn't that true for only real wp7 phones about getting stuck in modem mode?
Greetings,
I'm planning to purchase a router for my office and I'd like to use it for my N4 via WiFi.
What specs should I be looking at?
Is there something I should consider (bands, frecuencies, etc.)?
My connection is not that fast, only 1.5MB.
Please share your experiences. It'd be truly appreciated.
For the best speed it should be N and 5GHz.

Wireless routers have different standards that they go by. As of right now for consumer use, there are B, G and N. B & G have been around for quite some time and N has had some time to develop to the point where its the fastest standard available currently.
So basically, you want to see if the router you are purchasing supports the wireless N standard. Chances are if the router supports N it will support B and G as well...

That is for 300 mbps, there is a section for 150 mbps. My guess for the difference is obviously the speed, but that difference in speed will most likely affect the price as well.

I'll contact a few stores here. Thanks again for all your help.
By the way, the person that replied first recommended 5Ghz but most of the TP-Link options I've seen in that page you linked show 2.4-2.4835Ghz. Would that be enough in your opinion?

The frequency is to circumvent interference. For example, a lot of home phones operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency, which is probably why the first guy who posted recommended 5GHz, so you could have a dedicated frequency for Wi-Fi. If you can get your hands on a 5 GHz router, then go for it, but if not a 2.4 GHz router shouldn't be a problem...
