Hey,
quick question: Does anyone know of a method to switch the frequency band on the Nexus 4 based on location or SSID?
Maybe via App, Tasker, profile or whatever? I would love to use the 5Ghz band at home, but work only runs on 2,4. If I use the automatic mode it only connects to the 2,4 frequency band of my router.
tia!

I am using 5GHz. Check if your AP has a separate MAC address for 5GHz and connect to that SSID and you should have no problem connecting.

Actually you're right. There is an option to separate both bands on different SSIDs. Guess I missed that option... thanks for the hint!

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).
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.
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.
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.

Hey there. I wanna know is it possible to configure the wifi binary to if there was dual band with same ssid. It would connect to 5ghz until it was like -70dbm then it will connect the 2.4ghz. So on short note . prioritize the 5ghz. Thx. I really looking into here. Thx
