My HTC One cannot connect to routers which are set to N-only mode. As soon as i change the router's setting from N-only to b/g/n mixed, it connects with no problem.
I have tested this with different routers and they all behave the same (i.e. N-only doesn't work while mixed b/g/n works fine). I have also tried 4.3 and 4.4.2 stock ROMs but both have the same issue.
Can anyone successfully connect to WiFi N-only networks? This phone is supposed to support WiFi ac, yet alone WiFi N.
So everyone else can connect to WiFi N networks?

Has anybody had any success with this? I have a wireless N router and just got a wireless N repeater in my home.
My captivate will connect just fine to the network when the repeater is unplugged. However, when I plug in the repeater my phone's wifi connection starts to act funny. I connect to the wifi and have a very strong signal, but I am unable to do anything on the internet. Web pages won't load, Pandora won't connect.
Long story short, the phone sees the network, but it doesn't know whether to communicate with my router or my repeater.
All other wireless devices on my network seem to work fine with the repeater, it's just my Captivate that is having this problem. I have no other phones to test it with, though.
Are you running stock? I seem to recall it having an issue with netmasks that weren't 255.255.255.0. You may want to check netmask in both the router's settings and the phone's Wi-Fi settings to ensure they match.
Is your NAT filtering turned off on both devices ?
Thanks! I'll look into both of these options when I get home tonight.
I'm not running stock, I'm running Cognition v2.3b6, btw.
Due to the fact that our router is in the basement and we're located on the 2nd floor Wifi wasn't strong enough and we had to install a repeater on the 1st floor.
I have multiple Wifi devices and none had any issues with the repeater and the fact that I disabled to SSID broadcast.
Then I bought the Galaxy Tab... after some hours of trying different options I came to the conclusion that it's not a problem of the Galaxy Tab to connect to SSID off networks (at least when the name is like that xxxxx xxxxx), but it won't connect to the network if a repeater is repating the ssid off network.
Is there any known solution to this issue without turning ssid broadcast on?
All I can tell you is that. Repeaters cause alot of issues especially with SSID broadcast turned off. All I can suggest to you is that if you are using a custom ROM and you can connect to adhoc networks. You can always connect via adhoc to any device that is connected to the signal. There is a computer application that can turn you w7 computer to an AP. Connectify
I also have the problem of not being able to connect to my router with the SSID off, but very good with SSID on. Also cannot see adhoc networks at all.
I am currently on Overcome 1.4.6 which is otherwise giving me no problems what so ever.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
If I enable both 2.4ghz and 5ghz in my router (d-link dir-850L) my T800 will only connect to 2.4ghz. If I enable only 5ghz it will connect to 5ghz. This happens with stock, modified stock, and CM ROM. I'd prefer to enable 2.4ghz for backward compatibility with older devices, obviously.
Have you tried to just set your tab s to only 5 ghz? Instead of auto
Do'h!! never saw that before. Thanks.
But then it won't connect to my old router on the other side of the house.
I found out I can set the 5ghz band to use a different SSID. That seems to work out well.
Try WiFi manager from App Store (Google Play). Has option in settings that should address your problem.
I am trying to connect this phone to my 5ghz network and it just won't. The network seems to be working well as everything else that supports that connection works fine. It connects to the 2.4 ghz network fine. Is there a setting or something I am missing?
Thanks for those who can provide some sort of answer.

Sure does. Not sure why you can't. All I had to do was enter the router password.
Hello forum members.
I want to share with You My Mi5 Pro WiFi problems, hoping someone can give advice so i can use my Mi5 Pro again.
The phone's WiFi has some issues:
It scan and display all networks, but can't connect to 2.4GHz networks.
It connects and work fine with some 5GHz networks. Also connect and work fine with 5GHz hotspot networks.
Bluetooth is working fine.
MiDrop can scan, but can't connect and transfer.
Hotspot is working only on 5GHz mode. On 2.4GHz can't share or connect to other.*
What I have tried to solve the issues:
Reset the phone.
Update the phone.
Flash other MIUI.
Unlock and flash other Android.
Rooted the phone and changed the WiFi MAC address (on MIUI).
Erased and flashed the modem (NON-HLOS.bin)(on MIUI).
No changes after all my attempts.*
And also, after all My attempts, I have noticed something. When I try to connect to 2.4GHz network (unsuccessful of course) and leave the WiFi on or off (the WiFi is not connected) , the phone's battery is draining very fast. If I connect to 5GHz network (successfully), and after that turn off the WiFi,**the battery is not draining fast.
If someone have any advice, or something I can check or share more info, I'm here and waiting.*
Thanks.
PS:Correction, 5GHz is not working with any router. More specifically, it's not working with most routers.
Maybe it's hardware problem. WIFI antenas disconnected?
Maybe, bit i hope it's software.
When i remove the antennas there is no wi-fi networks even detected, or only the closest ones are shown very weakly.
