this is a request to devs if can they enable 5ghz support on our devices. i firstly thought it impossible but my friend has enabled it on k3note but he is not telling me how.
he said that he changed a line in rom souce code . and he has now go 5ghz wifi running.

AC WiFi routers require AC WiFi receivers which is hardware. So you can run it on bgn but not with full potential.

Has the wifi n feature been implemented in any of the roms (such as r19/20/21 or cyanogen) since Google released the source code for 2.2? Some are saying that it is already active for them. Anyone have info on this?
Well just check the transfer rate from your PC
as soon as i get a router that supports n. Is there a way to tell from the handset itself if n is enabled?
I'm not sure how to check from the handset directly, however you could always select only the N band of wireless from the router instead of broadcasting them all. If the Nexus picks it up, then its N.
i too would like to know if N is available in any of CM roms. I have a Dual-Band N+G linksys router but for some reason i'm not able to connect to my N band.
mine has been working since CM5.0.7 since ive noticed

It only does 2.4Ghz 802.11n not 5Ghz 802.11n which is were the real advantage of 802.11n comes from. I actually tested it pretty throughly with my WRT350N router with DD-WRT firmware and I was able to achieve better speeds with 802.11g than I was with 802.11n with very little other wireless traffic in the area.

No wonder i couldn't get it to work! Thanks.
N has been working for me since the first leaked froyo update. I only set my router to broadcast N only
Like stated before, the wifi chip in the N1 is 2.4 GHz only. It is not a dual band receiver. So if have a dual band router that is transmitting a 5Ghz signal your N1 will not see it. This is actually kind of common with N devices (DVD players, TVs, Adapter Dongles) in the past year or so, most of them are 2.4 GHz only which really defeats the whole purpose of having N in the first place.
Doesn't n supposedly have wider range?
i answered my own question. did *#*#4636#*#* and under "wifi status" it says "Link Speed: 72Mbps" so it is enabled
quick question, (after a long debate with my brother) I say it does, he says it doesnt.... who is correct???
A Laptop that is wifi enabled WILL always be able to connect to a wifi a-p regardless of its encyption as long as the software using the wifi supports it WEP,WPA,WPA2 ect.. ??
Or a Laptop that is wifi enabled WILL NOT always be able to connect to a wifi a-p with certain encyption it depends on whether the hardware supports it or not..
In my eyes, wifi technology uses 802.11 IEEE (which we know can connect to WPA) theirfore it WILL support WPA it just depends on the software that is being used to connect to the a-p.
who is correct ??
thanks guys
Quick answer: it can in theory be done completely in the software (driver level), but hardware usually helps in practise

In most cases it is a combination of Firmware/Drivers/Software, some cards just do not have the driver or firmware level to allow the OS to connect with WPA.
I have several PCMCIA wireless cards that will not connect to WPA at all, but then again driver dev stopped for these cards like 8 years ago.
So as chainfire said, in theory yes, but in practice it just depends on how "new" and "supported" it is ...
Hi. I have X8 with FroyoBread on it. My bootloader cant be unlocked and I have stock kernel. When I want to make WiFi hotspot it just doesnt work ( no error). I suppose its because of my kernel or something. I had same issue on Gingerbread v30. Is there any way to fix this?
Stock kernel doesn't support WiFi support. read here
try Barnacle WiFi Tether, that works. I have used it before, but it doesn't support tethering to mobile devices. it works if you connect laptop/pc.
Thanks for the reply. I tried Barnacle and like you said it doesnt work.
Barnacle does work but only allows others to connect to you via ad hoc mode. Only laptops and a limited number of mobile devices are capable of doing so. As far as I know it is not possible to set up the X8 as an infrastructure mode hot spot. Whether it's a hardware or a software limitation, I wouldn't know. Bottom line is - ad hoc is the maximum you're going to get.
RR nougat supports 5ghz WiFi for santoni but its been 6 months but still not in oreo I couldn't upload the video but I can provide it by telegram..... My number is 7005273911
I recall now that some nougat roms had the 5ghz option (at create hotspot or wifi scan). However could not scan and connect any 5Ghz AP, while another phone side by side could.
if you are able ro do so, post screenshot here of 5Ghz scan, and which version of RR / which dev RR ?

I have Realme 8, on C09, when using it as WiFi hotspot I can set it only to 2.4GHz. Is it for everybody, or just me?
Redmi note 7,8,9 &10 supports 5ghz as well as some none note variants like the Redmi 9,9T and Redmi 10.
Newer Redmi devices are more likely to have 5ghz wifi support. But when you're in doubt just google the specific phone model and check the “comms" area. If it states that it supports Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band then it supports both 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequency. But your phone does not show support for that wireless band on its specs list.
EDIT: just noticed you said Realme not Redmi lol, this spec here shows that your phone does have support for 5Ghz for sure. There must be a setting that your missing for that. I'm checking right now to see if theres any system settings that allow you to change that. Try resetting network settings.

I know I have 5GHz support, I'm using it to connect to my home network, but I can't set it for phone hotspot.

I have a Realme 9 pro and GT here that I just checked with and I see the same thing here. It only says 2.4Ghz and in the updates, it shows a connections stability update which is probably where they just removed 5Ghz from the AP band choices. I can't understand why they would do that, but with data you really won't get speeds higher than what 2.4Ghz can handle. But going off of what I have here, it looks like most Realme phones have the same thing

Well, I wish I had a special trick to tell you that would allow you to use the 5Ghz band on that phone but I have no idea, sorry man.

Thank you anyway, just the information that it's not the issue with my phone, but with software in general was enough.

I tried setting region to Germany, but no luck.
Ok, what i discovered.
If im connected to a Wlan* i then can select under Hotspot 2,4 or 5ghz.
If im only connected to Mobile Data i only got 2,4Ghz
*Wlan supported 2,4 And 5ghz i doint know how it is, if the Wlan only supports one of them
