Hi,
I have a UK Desire Z. The spec says the phone is capable of connecting to b/g/n wifi standards. However I am having trouble seeing my N network on the wireless list. Has anyone sucessfully connected thier phone to an N network?
Are you trying to connect to a 2.4hgz network or a 5ghz one?
It should work on the 2,4 but not on the 5 ghz
I have dual-band router and Desire Z does see/connect to 2.4GHz N network. It does not see 5GHz network. But my 5GHz is running in two channel 40MHz mode, didn't have time to check if switching to single channel would allow Z to connect.
Mine connects fine to my home Wi-Fi network, which is 'N' standard. Not sure what speed it is connecting at, or whether it's dropping back to B/G though.
Do you have MAC address security blocking set on your router, and if so have you told it about the phone's MAC address?

This verifies that answer, changing to single channel on 5GHz will not make a difference.
The wifi radio on the DZ is a 2.4GHz radio.

can you tell me please what frequency of wifi n draft does the hd2 support ,as iam going to buy a new n router soon
any one , please
not entirely sure here but i think most wifi n capable routers will have options for both.
Hi hoss_n2
The HD2 only supports the 2.4Ghz band or 802.11b/g (54Mbps max)
802.11N capable Wifi routers will come in two flavors, ones that use the 2.4Ghz band only and ones that use both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.
The devices that use both band are far superior to the single band 2.4Ghz especially when talking 802.11N
The main reason for this is "N" capability for channel bonding
So really any wifi router should support the HD2

first thanks for your reply ,second can the dual band router be adjusted for only 5ghz ,and which frequency is better
I'm pretty sure (95%) that there is a reg tweak to enable 802.11n (it's disabled originally cause it drains battery very fast).
So I just set my routers wifi mode to 300Mbps @ 2.4Ghz and immediately was not able to connect to my wifi. I dropped the mode down to 145Mbps, same frequency, and right away was able to connect. What gives?

I'm not networking expert but i believe it's the b/g/n radio that you are using. IIRC the faster setting requires the n radio. Does you phone & ROM support n?
If i am wrong someone please correct me.
My router is dual band and i want to say it connects to 5ghz and connects as a n connection. some roms do not have the n drivers. I too could be wrong.

You're probably right. I'm using CM7.1.
I have tried connecting my tablet to a wirless N connection but it doesnt pick it up. Anybody have this problem or know how to connect to a wireless N connection on the tablet?

I haven't tried it, but I believe it'll only work if the Wireless N Network is the 2.4GHz mode. The specs for the TPT say it is compatible with b/g/n, since a isn't supported the 5GHz spectrum cannot be supported.
If your router is simultaneous dual-band, meaning, it can transmit a 2.4GHz and a 5GHz network at the same time then you shouldn't have any issues. If the router is only dual-band and not simultaneous then you'll have to fall back on the 2.4GHz spectrum.
Hope this helps.
Oh, ok. The router was transmitting in 5ghz; changing it to 2.4 worked.Thanks
I have a i9505 S4, it does not seem to be able to find the 5gHz network whereas on the iPhone 5, i am able to connect to the 5gHz network. Both 2.4 and 5 gHz network have different SSID names.

Change to different channel in 5ghz and try, 36 or 44 channel.
5G wireless

Me too, I9500 no issue with this, but I9505 can't search for 5 Ghz wireless network, chg router channel still the same. I 'm using Netgear R6300.
Same issue here
I had i9190 and it was working great. Now I have tried two i9195 and one i9192. Both i9195 only work on 2.4Ghz and do not show 5Ghz bands at all. I9192 could not connect to any network, DOA. All phones had 4.2.2 update so it was not software issue. I guess samsung started to block 5 Ghz band on i9195.
Do you guys know how to solve this problem. Can't even see my 2.4Ghz wireless network. Can only see 5Ghz wireless network. Any suggestion ?
Reboot your router
Change the 2.4GHz Wireless channel on the router
Clear caches from recovery on the phone - can other devices see the 2.4GHz network? -
Disable the 5GHz network and see if it can connect to 2.4GHz then...
Can your router push out both 2.4GHz and 5GHz simultaneously?
Disable Smart Network Switch on the phone in WiFi Settings
thanks for your reply.
Yeah, Other devices can see 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Yes. I'm using RT-N66U so both 2.4 and 5GHz are available.
If my router was problem other devices cannot connect so, is not my router.
Following are done.
-Rebooted s 5 many times.
-Did hard reset/wipe cache
-smart network is disabled. ( Don't even put SIM card yet)
Phone is not ROOTED.
Suggestions?
Factory reset the phone?
Yes Factory reset and Hard reset is done but nothing change
Go to someone elses house who has 2.4GHz WiFi and see if your S5 can connect, then you'll know if it is a fault with the phone, or your router
My router have only 2.4 GHz but not problem with other devices.
My neighbor have both 2.4 and 5 GHz when we try to connect it's only show 5GHz band. Not 2.4. btw i'm running Lollipop 5.0
