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.

supported wi fi n draft frequences

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).

[Q] Wifi N

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.

does anyone else have trouble connecting to dual band?

in multiple places I cannot connect to 802.11n 5ghz dual band networks. I can connect to 2.4ghz networks though. tried at work and at home and both places I'm unable to connect. looks like it tried, then just gives up.
Try to configure different ssid for every frequency.

galaxy s5 SM-G900F cannot find 2.4Ghz wifi connection

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

Redmi note 4 mtk 5Ghz WiFi not detecting

I just brought a D-link router it does not have any region Setting it only have 36,40,44,48 channels on 5Ghz.
but my xiaomi phones not detecting the 5ghz band in any way. i'v tried all of the channels not any of them working, but i can detect 5ghz band using any WiFi analyzer app.
I haven't used 5ghz before so I thought my router have some problem So i brought an Tp-Link Archer C50 it also don't have any region setting and it have 36,40,44,48,149,153,157,161 channels on 5Ghz but result is same.
Not any of xiaomi detecting any 5Ghz band but all of them working quite good on 2.4Ghz.
My phone is rooted so can i change manually my WiFi region or channels on Redmi note 4 mtk. Using latest stock Global Rom
