The Atrix cannot connect to 5GHz wireless n networks?

[tanda4]

That kinda sucks.

 

[shashankmittal]

Are you serious? My new 5GHz n router is on its way from Linksys!

 

[tanda4]

I have the Linksys E3000 and can't see the 5GHz network.

 

[shashankmittal]

I am sure you must have checked, but are there any settings on the router that prevent it from being recognized? Does the phone work on 2.4GHz n band?

 

[shashankmittal]

Got an official response from Motorola:

This phone has a 802.11g 2.4 GHz wireless adapter. It will not connect to a Wi-Fi connection that is operating on an 802.11n 5 GHz router.

From Motorola's website:

BLUETOOTH? TECHNOLOGY5
Stereo Bluetooth? technology 2.1+EDR (supports profiles A2DP 1.2, AVRCP, HFP 1.5 AG, HID 1.0 Host, HSP 1.0, OPP, PBAP PSE)

SYNCHRONIZATION
Corporate Sync, BOTA, OMA DM

WIFI
802.11 a,b,g,n

3G MOBILE HOTSPOT1
Be a mobile hot spot for up to 5 other WiFi-enabled devices

Then under the help section, it lists the WiFi as:

Wireless Lan Supported Specs

•802.11b/g/n
•WEP
•WPA/WPA2 PSK
•802.1x Enterprise

Which sounds like there is no 5GHz, since they don't list 802.11a

The 2.4GHz N network works fine, just no 5GHz N.

Where did you find this? On the Motorola Atrix website, under specs, it lists WiFi as 802.11 a,b,g,n.

Yes, but then go through the help menu:

Product Support > SEARCH FAQS > TROUBLESHOOTING > Troubleshoot Wi-Fi

Wireless Lan Supported Specs

?802.11b/g/n

?WPA/WPA2 PSK

I have a Netgear WNDR3700 and I can connect my atrix to both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks without any problems. I keep my atrix on the 5ghz ssid.

 

[dLo GSR]

the phone does not sense my 5 GHz network. not surprised.

 

[shashankmittal]

I configured my Linksys E4200 today evening and was successfully able to connect my Atrix to the 5GHz band over 802.11n!

 

[back9]

2.4Ghz and 5Ghz

I have a D-Link dual band router and my handset sees and connects to either band.

 

[tanda4]

I wonder whats going on with the E3000!?! Wifeys Dell laptop doesn't see the 5GHz network either, but should be able to.

 

[coreymcl]

I'm connecting to an Apple Extreme N using 5GHz just fine

I GOT IT WORKING!!!!! With the help of a Cisco forum I changed a bunch of settings, including:

Wireless Channel - 161 (5.805 GHz)
Channel Width - 40 MHz
Control Channel - upper
ACK Timing - 0
Beacon Interval - 75
Fragmentation Threshold - 2304
RTS Threshold - 2307

It works on 2.4 N but drops every now and then
