Just found that my IS cannot connect to my Dlink router if it's using channel 12/13. I had similar problem with my last Hero (VR12/VR13) which was solved by flashing a modded wpa_supplicant.
So I guess that makes another good reason to root my IS. Anyone has this problem too and has a resolution?
I have a Netgear router and I was having problems connecting on the low channels, 20 MHz range. I switched to 40 MHz and chose the upper range and it connected automatically.
Hey guys ... This is the dev section ... Please could you post this in the general ... I think that would be better ...

My new IS is not connecting to ma wireless network ... its giving me alot headache
Plzz any one can help me ma htc desire is connected to that wifi but IS isnt finding my network
what router are you using? did you allow your network to be seen?
I imagine it's a problem with the channels, I would change the broadcast channel on your router ton something less than 12 and try again
I also experience problem with WiFi using my Dlink router when it's using channel 13. I even called HTC support and they replied their IS works with channel 13 in their testing. I tested 2 different Dlink routers and in both cases my IS fails to find the network when channel 13 is used.
Can you guys post what routers are you using?
In my experience, no HTC phones work on channel 12 or 13 as the American routers only use up to channel 11
This was also a problem with the Desire, It was fixed with just a kernel/wifi module update from the community. Dont think HTC is going to fix this, but you can always send a bug-report to HTC
Yes, my last HTC Hero also has this problem with channel 13. Fortunately, it was fixed by replacing the wpa_applicant with a modded version from XDA. So I hope by rooting the IS, the same can be applied.
I think the reason is that,the mood of your WiFi is not WEP.may be it's ad-hoc or ad-open sth.

I know it sounds strange that my Wi-Fi problem was solved by patching this WPA mod. But my dlink router is configured to use WPA, not adhoc, but still I cannot explain why it works.

As posted...it has the 2.4 only or the 2.4/5.0ghz wifi?
From samsungs note specifications site:
"Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct"
WLAN a-band is 5ghz area, so I think it has 2.4 and 5ghz.
thanks

of course, my old galaxy s2 can connect at home whit the 5ghz wlan, so its very close that galaxy note can the same..
Hmm, anyone with a note actually able to use 5ghz wifi? I have so far been unable to.

both of my wireless bands are showing up on my note as well as the SGS II (2.4ghz and 5ghz)
It's working on mine. Router Asus n56.

hmm.. mine doesn't see the 5GHz radio on my Netgear WNDR3700.
Weird.
As a side note, i do think connecting to the 2.4GHz radio is a better idea as it has better range, and the Note won't be able to utilize the extra speed of the 5GHz channel anyway.
yes it works 5.0ghz also, with d-link routers.
its faster than on the 2.4 crowded band.
Mine connects to the 5 Ghz coming out of my WRT610N running dd-wrt
Works fine on my old Belkin G router (2.4Ghz) and the new Belkin N router (5.0Ghz). So yep.

The note has only antenna, so yes, it won't fully utilize it, but I get much faster speeds on the N router than the G oh and the speed drop off at the edges of reception is much less with N.
Hmm, well my 5ghz doesn't seem to be showing up. Anyone have any idea what troubleshooting steps I should take?
---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------
So just an update for people. I figured out the issue. 5ghz doesn't seem to be supported on 1xx channels, but works just fine on the lower frequency xx channels. I wonder, is this an European thing? Would there be a firmware tweak to enable the higher frequency (and higher output power) 1xx channels?
+1 on that. I would like to see it able to be used with the higher channels
I think it depends on whether the router utilizes the 20MHz or the 40MHz band. I bet the note can only see the 20MHz one.

Nope it can see.the 40 as thats the only one I have selected

It has both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz I see and have connected to both on my Netgear N600
OK ppl its the channel your router has set for 5ghz. European basebands only see 5ghz channels provisioned on Europe. Check Wikipedia, specifically here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels
Simple fix... change router 5ghz channel to match region of your baseband
Using a higher or lower channel means nothing. Its finding the channel that is least crowded and has the least amount of interference.
Worked!

I wasn't able to connect with my netgear wndr4500, but this fixed it! thanks!
Or you can always flash a firmware which supports your local 5 GHZ frequency in case you have other devices which use this frequency range. I noticed that Asian firmware supports NA 5 GHZ frequencies.
I have a Linksys E4200. I tried using WiFi analyzer and put it to scan for the exact frequencies available in the E4200 5Ghz configuration, the S2 is unable to detect any 5Ghz channels. I also tried selecting all channels, but it did not work.
EDIT: Just found an answer on another thread that worked, I manually set the channel to 36. The phone immediately detected the network. Its odd that in auto the phone cant detect it.
I recently purchased an HTC One (Unlocked) and have been using it for about a week. It seems that often when we "turn it on" the wireless connectivity in our house drops. Does this sound possible and are there any solutions?
There are other similar threads... So definitely sounds possible. The last one I read was talking about dlink issues. Have you made sure your router has updated firmware? If so, I would try changing bands and settings like qos to see if you can pinpoint what the route doesn't like.

i also have this problem, whenever my phone is connectd to.wifi, my router randomly.reboots...the only fix i found( other than buying a new router) is to set your router to connect on wireless.G only..none of my other devices connected.to the router.do this, like the post b4 said, u can try updating your router's firmware but i tried that and it did not work for me, ive read some people switching from dlink to linksys routers and.problem disappears, hope this helped u
I initially had the HTC one connected to my dual band modem/router but overnight it now won't connect to the 5ghz band.
It either gets stuck on the ip address/authentication stage or skips the process stating that the internet signal is poor (or words to that effect)
Any help would be appreciated before I have to send the phone back
It happened to me with bp kernel.
However, I'd say overall 5ghz on N sucks, it might be my device it might also be my old Linksys 610n... Though the ipad gets stuck to the same frequency without issues.

I can now connect to the router using a static IP address but no internet access. HTC support didn't help so guess it is going for repair.:crying:
Should try setting the channel width to 20mhz and see if that helps.

My Butterfly S is consistently disconnecting from my wifi modem. My 2 laptops can connect and perform with easy without any disconnecting (without BS connected), until i connect my BS to my modem and after several minutes the whole connection including my 2 laptops, modem and my BS goes off and i need to restart my modem to use the internet again....
I tried changing to a new modem but it still happens, is something wrong with my BS ?...please help

Probably the issue is with your modem settings. Try to set fixed channel on wi-fi or/and change the range between 2.4 or 5GHz.

I've noticed that certain wifi devices seem to cause too much interference when used at the same time. I have no idea what exactly is wrong or how to fix it, but for example, I have an Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2200 wifi card in my laptop and quite often when a Broadcom device connects to the same access point, I experience heavy packet loss and often the link disappears completely after a short while.
So far I haven't been able to solve this, so I can't really help you, but if you do get this fixed, make sure to post the solution here, it might be related…
thanks for the replies but it's still getting disconnected and connection lost on all devices...i've tried:
1) changing my channel to 1 and 11.
2) changing the Channel Bandwidth from 20/40 MHz to 20 MHz.
3) On my BS i changed my wifi frequency band form auto to 2.4 GHz only.
by the way im using TPlink 150mbps wireless N ADSL2 + modem router

Have you tried to connect the phone without laptops? I didn't have any issues connecting to my TP-Link WR740N regardless of firmware (tried stock, openwrt, dd-wrt) with cable internet.
i have tried disconnecting my laptops and pc, with my BS only connected but the connection is getting disconnected.

I can only suggest to update the firmware of the router to the latest release from tp-link web-site and also you said that you've changed wi-fi frequencies on BS, try to do this also on the router itself.
