I have one of the first set of Incredibles that went out. When I go to hardware, I only see wirless b/g listed. Is there something I have to do to enable wireless N? (This is the case no matter what ROM I use)
I dont think the incredible got N support until the latest gingerbread ota (or at least thats what i've been told). However even with the new ota there is a mistake where it still only says b/g, even though it supports n too. You can easily change this if you want by editing your build.prop file in /system.
I am running 2.3.4. I have wireless n at home and I don't see the n network listed on my phone.

Its there and working, do a speed test. It is just a mistake made by htc that makes it say its only b/g when it supports n also.

How's a speed test going to tell you anything when very few have a broadband connection that outstrips what .11G will provide?
But my wireless n network doesn't show up on the network list on my phone. I only see my b/g network.

Ah i see what your saying now you have a dual band router and it only sees the b/g and not the n. Not sure i really dont know much about it just that i was told in another thread that our phones got n with the new gb ota, ive never actually cared to test it, its fast enough for me what ever it is b g or n.
Maybe we need a 802.11n driver?

I always wondered if our phone ever could use wireless n.
Ok our phones or more our kernels dont have n support built it. However tiny has just implemented the fix from above into one of his kernels. It is not full N but it supports the 2.4ghz N band with the speed capped at 72mbps (by our hardware I believe), but thats better than the 54mbps I use to get.

I think it's due to only having one wifi radio according to that link provided so that is hardware, nothing that I can do about that.

Even if your internet dosen't provide N speeds your network still can wich means faster phone to pc transfers or viceversa over wifi. Network link speed can be tested with many different aps, and can also be seen when clicking on a wifi network you are connected to in the settings menu.
When I'm at school (5 days a week) most of my classes are in a building where I do not get a lot of reception, aka, my battery gets killed by the phone to keep up the signal. I do get reception, around 1-2 bars, but that still drains the battery extremely fast. Is there any app or something that I can do to help reduce the amount of battery drain?
I don't want to put the phone into air plane mode because I can still send and receive text messages, but it's just very slow.
Have you tried putting it in cdma only mode?

You could save a lot of battery life by either connecting to a wifi hotspot (if available) or by turning off background data. The problem your phones having is that it has to turn the gain way up on its cellular radio in order to transmit and receive data. By reducing the amount of background data usage (or off loading it to another network with better signal--i.e. wifi) you'll save a lot of juice.
If you can't do either, there are some things you can do with Tasker to reduce data usage to windows of time instead of always on. May be something to consider.

The cell radio and wifi are 2 seperate things, and wifi has its own antenna. Wifi is part of the kernel, try a different one. Also most wireless routers have a output power setting as to how far the signal goes, make sure that is up all the way. Do other devices connect with good signals upstairs?

I know my Inc's WiFi isn't super great for me on my second floor, although my Rezound does just fine. Inc is on Abduction ICS with the newest Incredikernel, and I use the Rezound Incredikernel on my Rezound.
Doesn't bother me much as I just use it as an mp3 player/alarm clock, but just my two cents.
I suspect the WiFi radio in the Inc isn't spectacular...but being upstairs should get you better cell service. You could also look into a Wifi Access Point and extend your network.

Turning up the transmit power "all the way" is the last thing you should do. First off you will piss off your neighbors using wifi. Second, transmitting from the router at high power will do NOTHING if your phone cannot transmit back with EQUAL effectiveness. What you should try is MOVING the wifi router to a better location. Preferably up high, not blocked by metal objects. Wifi signals work best when the source and destination operate in the same general plane, e.g. the same floor of a house. If the wifi router is on the 2nd floor and your phone is on the 1st floor the closer you get "under" the router, the worse your signal (especially for high gain antennas). Most routers come with a 2 or 3 dB gain antenna. These have pretty good vertical beam width, meaning the angle up and down that they transmit and receive is fairly wide. This is good for multi floor homes. The price you pay for all that vertical coverage is less distance. If you are going for distance, and you have removable antennas, a 7 or 9 dB gain will allow the wifi router to not only have a higher effective radiating power (without adjusting any internal setting), but it will allow it to RECEIVE weaker signals from farther away. Again, the price you will pay for extra range is LESS vertical beam width. That means if you are close to the router, if you move up and down (vertically) too much, you will start to loose signal quickly. So, a high gain antenna is good if you are a house width away and on the same floor, but BAD if you are on different floors (you will be outside the vertical beam width).
Hope that helps.

Very interesting. So i have a Linksys E3000 router and it has no external antennas. It can sit flat or be wall mounted. Which position would get the signal to spread out the farthest but still work good up close too?
Gnex comes with dual frequency WIFI radios 2.4GHz and 5.0 GHz, when active are known to interfere each other's signal causing problems. Stuff is abit technical, but bottom line is its better to operate in a single spectrum then both at the same time, which most WIFI router don't do.
Fix is to run wifi at a single spectrum either 2.4 or 5, for me i stick-ed with 2.4 (as i was not sure enabling 5GHz would turn on both) and it resolved over-heating near back camera.
Another advanced thing could be done, that is to avoid interference of other routers, near your router. google for softwares to scan nearby WIFI, see what channels they are using and set your router to use some other channel to kill any interference.

There are routers that broadcast both 2.4GHz and 5GHz signals, they are called concurrent dual band routers, but i will give your method a go, will report back later.
Just tried, fixed the heating problem

What "over-heating near back camera" is there to begin with? I know it can get a little warm next to the camera, especially on heavy 3G data use, but nothing is overheating. Overheating for me is when the heat gets too much causing problems like instability and crashes. But other than a slightly warm battery door there is no such thing on my phone. My Galaxy S and Moto Milestone showed the same behavior so it's nothing I worry about.

Same with me. My phone sees both WIFI connections but I prefer the 2.4 gHz over the 5 gHz. Never had a overheating problem. I'll take the OPs advice though just to be safe.
Hello,
A friend of mine has the GNEX, and he complains about overheating problem "specially using 3G & facebook app". The interesting part is, he didn't only mention the back-near-camera spot, he also says that it's getting overheated from the front "Top screen part".
Shall he worry about it? Maybe send it to maintenance to check?

i think it keeps scanning/refreshing available networks.
Over Heating
My signal kept disappearing when I was sitting at home phone on desk.
I picked it up and it wasn't hot so I thought to install a signal booster app
which I should of new better they really dont work anyways. I ran the app
and it started over heating so bad that the screen was changing color.
I uninstalled app and rebooted and its fine now. So I beleive it will overheat
scanning for networks.

5 Ghz frequencies are much better to transfer large files over wireless, streaming hd movies and the like. Plus, the channels it operates on are less crowded than the traditional 2.4 Ghz. More info on Google.

Yes, 5ghz has a faster transfer speed than 2.4ghz.
I just replaced my RT-N66U with the RT-AC66U and am thrilled with the speed on the 5 GHz band. The problem is that I'm getting worse speeds on the 2.4 band than I got with the RT-N66U on my other devices. I set up a separate SSID for each band and have used inSSIDer to find the best channels, but haven't tried tweaking the professional settings. I flashed Merlin's latest beta. Anyone know what I may be able to do to improve the 2.4 speed?

I have the n66u, great little router. As far as tweaking speeds from the router side, first I'd make sure the mtu is set to 1500. (It should be by default, or 1492 by default, which is also fine. I've seen a few that had it set in the 1200 range, and that's too low). Plus, i've noticed this phone is VERY picky on which wifi channels it uses (especially on the 5ghz side, but the same would probably hold true for the 2.4 as well.) It doesn't seem to like it very much when it's set to auto, i'd hard set a channel (and of course, stay away from channel 6 if you own a microwave, since channel 6 is the same frequency as the rfi that a microwave will put out. So if your router is near your microwave, you'll loose signal when you turn it on )

Wow, you nailed it. What a difference between channels.
Asus RT-AC66U and this PCI_e card is wast of money. Same speed like Asus N66U and PCI-e card. I now, I had both.
Wire is best. 500 Mbit/s to Nas with wire. 150 Mb/s with RT-AC66U. In Asus case, the AC standard is a swindle. Save your money and go for N-router and card.
