I have two networks 2.4 and 5 ghz. My phone can connect to the 2.4ghz. But when i try to connect to the 5ghz it only says saved. My wifi works on every computer and i have tried restarting both the router and my phone. I re installed my rom too. This just started happening an hour ago. If you have any suggestions that would be appreciated. Thank you.

That is Chuck Norris's Channel!
Really though is the channel 4 or 8?

Channel is 48.
I guessYou have not seen any 5GHz settings.

Oh really?, I use 5GHz but I did not look in the settings since I do not exactly own the router.

Hi!
I've just bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi.
I have the router Cisco Linksys E4200 just beside the tablet (2 feet).
I enable 5GHz on E4200.
I disable 2.4GHz on E4200 to be sure that the tablet connects to 5 GHz.
But, doing so, the tablet does not see the wifi.
Anybody succeeded to connect to 5GHz with this router and this tablet?
Thanks a lot!
The only thing I can confirm it's working fine with my Netgear WNDR3700 5GHz WIFI, so 5GHz is no problem with my SGT 10.1

Are you using a custom rom or stock?
I have no issues connecting to my 5 GHz. The only time is does not work is if I flash a P7500 rom or a Asian/Euro P7510 rom.

Dlink DIR 825 5ghz here... working fine...
Hi!
It works now.
We have to set the Channel in the router config to get 5GHz working.
Here is the very interesting suggestion coming from Cisco Wireless Routers forum :
Set the 5 GHz band on the router to a only, 20 MHz and channel 36.
Wow!
Glad you got it working. I have an E3000, but for some reason, I have been using the G channel. I just tried the N channel which is set for 5 MHz only and it worked great. Communications are much faster with the N over the G, so I am keeping it there. Hey, I'm glad I read this thread which prompted me to make the change.
I'm on my second Nexus 4 and still can't get over how poor the WiFi range is on these phones. Both of my N4s have had the same results. When I'm in an area of my house about 20-25 feet from the router I get 0-1 bars of WiFi, where my laptop and PS3 both get 80-100% connectivity. Every other smartphone I've owned has had better WiFi reception than this. Anyone have suggestions?

Try changing the security settings on your router to use a different protocol. For some reason that made a big difference for me. Generally I've found the WiFi range to be fairly good.

There hasn't been any security on either router I've been using so I know that isn't the problem. Thanks though.

I'm experiencing the same thing: within 20 feet of the router, signal drops dramatically
I'm getting the exact opposite. I've noticed a huge difference with reception versus my Galaxy Nexus.

Even when I'm standing 10 feet away with the router in site I get 2 or 3 bars. Pretty pathetic

I setup a repeater recently but my nexus still gets 1 or 2 bars with WiFi.

Also experiencing a similar problem. I don't think I've ever seen 4 bars on wifi since my 3 weeks of owning the phone. Almost all the time it's at 2 bars, even when other devices right next to me will have full signal.

Its terrible dude. I've got an iPhone 4s next to my N4 and the N4 is going between 0 and 1 bar of WiFi and the iPhone is getting between full and 1 less than full. Speed tests on the iPhone are also much faster

Are you on 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz band? My N4 refuses to work on the 2.4Ghz band. When it did connect, I would get less than 1MB connection link. Switched over to 5Ghz band, and I get a consistent 72MB connection. It even picks it up out to the middle of the street. Try changing bands if you have a capable router. Hopefully the next update will solve the WiFi problems this phone has.

The router I'm using right now is 2.4 only. When I go back to my apartment next week I can test the 5GHz signal

You guys should give wifi analyzer a try. I it might show that there are other signals on the same band?
I personally get poor wifi signal, but with wifi analyzer I saw that there are a total of 13 networks nearby

Try flashing a aftermarket kernel such as Franco Kernel. You can change the WiFi algorithm as well to see if it improves at all (changable with his app, Franco Kernel updater)
A lot of people reported that R19 and newer fixed their N4's wifi problems.

I get decent range on both 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges. Dont have it set on channels and allow the router to set that. Obviously do to the higher freq I get less range on the 5 GHz range but use this for my phone and my wife's S3 as it will run on it as well. Keeping the 2.4 side as clutter free as possible. Love my dlink dual band router.

The bars really are not a good method of determining anything. My WiFi works just as good as any of my other devices, iPod,iPhone,nexus 7, touchpad and more. I am not looking at the bars though but rather just going by how it works and it works fine for me. I can go as far as my mail box at the end of my driveway..

phones have shorter wifi range than tablets
Is your router running on 5GHz mode only, some people have issues with connecting to it.

no, auto mode. my wife's nexus 7 has no problem. maybe problem with my phone.
Have you been able to connect other routers, or try setting up a WiFi tether from another device and connect to it?
yeah it connects to other routers fine and tether to my wife's phone too, just not the router at home, but found a fix for it and working fine now.
still need to fix the problem on my htc one x.
What was your fix. If you let everyone know your fix it could help someone else in the future.

Hi,
I use my Nexus 4 quite a bit at home and at school. My school has a very slow over populated 2.4ghz, the 5ghz band though is very quick. I've noticed the Nexus 4 jumps on the 2.4 automatically, to get on the 5ghz I have to turn on 5ghz only. However when I get back home, my wireless router only runs at 2.4, so I have to turn Wi-Fi back to auto. This gets annoying having to do this 5 days a week. My question is simple, is there a way to set 5ghz as the preferred band for Wi-Fi when both are present? I should mention my phone is fully rooted.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can you forget the 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network? That way it won't connect to it. Some ROMS have where you can prioritize the networks too so if both are in range and you have connected to both it will prefer whichever one you set at higher priority. If you don't have a ROM like that just install an app that can do this for you. Here is one:

Unfortunately the 2.4 and the 5ghz networks have the same name, I don't see a way to distinguish the two just with the stock OS.
Try go on just 2.4 then forget the one it connects to while on 2.4 only.

When a router has 2.4 and 5 GHz on one SSID, it doesn't appear as 2 separate access points, just one. Maybe you could make some sort of tasker profile that forces the phone to 5 GHz while your at school, and 2.4 anywhere else if that's possible.
Good point, I forgot about that. I named mine differently. Yeah try tasker, if you can figure it out.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I don't think switching between 2.4/5 GHz is currently possible in tasker.

I have my Nexus player booted up not but for some reason it will not connect to my 5ghz network.
I have a 2.4ghz and a 5ghz network running on my router. phones and tablets can use the 5ghz just fine but the nexus player refuses to connect. Even when i input all settings manually it just wont connect. Works perfect on the 2.4ghz but since the player just right next to the wireless router i figured 5ghz would be much better...
Anyone else having this issue?
Issue fixed itself...must be a bug because it would not work then it did by its self 10 minutes later
I set mine up to connect to our 2.4GHz and never made any attempt to connect to the 5GHz; a while later I came back to it and saw it'd connected to the 5GHz on its own. I think maybe it gets your Wi-Fi settings from your phone via your Google account or something.

So maybe a dumb question. But mine has been giving me hell dropping WiFi connection all the time. My router is both 2.4 and 5ghz. How would I set the player to connect only to the 2.4???
