Hey guys,
Bought an ARC S for my wife and just 5 minutes after I turned it on I encountered problems with wifi.
So as I turned on the phone and tried to connect to my home´s network it would´t find my router, goggled it and found out that this is a common problem with ARC and ARC S´s as it does´t support wifi channels higher then 11. Changed my router´s configuration from auto channel to channel 11 and the phone connect but now my network from time to time drops connection.
Is there any work around or fix so that the phone supports wifi channels higher then 11 ?

Have you try another channel than 11?
If you live in a flat sometimes you and your neighboor are on the same channel and the wifi can be bad.
Try wifi analyser on the market to check wich channel is free around you.

Thanks for replying Soad0
I checked with wifi analyser and ch11 seems to be ok to use. I have been searching around and it seems that the problem is that the phone's internal wifi seetings are set to 11 ch's (US) instead of 13 which is what is used in Europe
If any one knows how to change does settings I would apretiat the help.
Here in France with the provider Free I can set up my internet modem to the channel I want. So I set it up to channel 3 and it is ok with my Arc

Hi all.
So this may be a silly question but I've had a search around and can't seem to find anything similar to my query.
For me, the WiFi signal on all jelly bean roms is considerably weaker than what I get on ICS roms for GB, regardless of the kernel or radio. I am wondering if this is just me or do others experience this too? I there any fix or solution that I've missed?
Any help much appreciated Long live the mighty XDA.

i noticed that too but the only thing you can do is play with your WiFi channel on the router end; use WiFi analyzer from market and walk around your place to see which channel is the best without too much interference from neighbouring signal, then change your WiFi router channel to suit and remember the chosen WiFi channel uses 3 channels at once with the center channel being the one connected to (i.e if your router runs at channel 6, it will also use up a bit of 5 and 7) so choose the clearest channel without too much overlap.
additionally if you have land line wireless phones operating on the 2.4Ghz range, it can interfere as common WiFi routers runs in the 2.4ghz unless you have a 5GHz setup.
Have you unchecked Settings - Wifi - Advanced - Avoid poor connections?

Yeah, I have. It's not a huge problem, just a bit annoying.
Can't connect to my new router's 5 GHz band. It's an Asus RT-N66U. The SSID is visible, but signing in doesn't connect. 2.4 channel works fine, although not that fast. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Resolved - switched to a lower channel.

I used inSSIDer to find the best channel, and I unchecked "avoid poor connections" and "use wifi optimization" in my phone's advanced settings. Also, I found the suggestion that solved my particular problem at smallnetbuilder.com, which has absurdly knowledgeable members who write some great stuff. For example, this article is about competing for bandwidth, which is a concern of mine because I live in an apartment building.
Here is the forum dedicated to the RT-AC66U.

Hi idan
try a channel from 1 to 10 on which your router is sending.
I thing, all the Wi-Fi you can connect are on channel between 1 to 10.
So even you can try a channel where a Wi-Fi you can connect to is sending.

I think, all the Wi-Fi you can connect to, are on channel between 1 to 10.

you have to set the channel (between 1 and 10) ON YOUR ROUTER. If you go to your router in the wi-fi settings, you will probably see the other w-fi networks and thus the channels on which they are sending.
My oneplus 3 wifi is very bad. It stays for a while but then shows a exclamation point next the wifi sign. My router is nkt bad because other people wifi are still working while my one isnt. Any suggestions?.

It was on channel 11 for my router settings
*bump
Anything new yet i can use to fix?
Use a Wifi analyser to look at the use of channels in your area and change your Wifi router to a less convoluted channel.
Is 5ghz as bad as 2.4ghz?
alright i changed it to channel 11. it worked for a while but then the problem occured again. Is there a option on my router i can change for it to work. my other devices work well but this phone.
Hi!!
I just bought a new tab s4, and I can not connect it to the 5ghz wifi network. It connects, but says connected without internet. The 2.4GHz network connects perfectly.
PS. Sorry for my English.
Same issue.
My tablet is TIM branded.
Same issue, it connects on 2.4ghz but not on 5ghz...
Anyone?
HI peep's mine is connected to 5 GHz and it’s working flawlessly, it’s showing a connected speed of 866MBPS!
Quick questions, did you try a reboot router and Tab S4 once connected to 5GHZ ?
Also are you using separate WPA2 PSK key ?
As some routers can’t handle separate keys, keep the Wi-Fi key same for both channels i.e 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ!
Does it get ip address from the router/dhcp server you have?
I don't have access to a 5Ghz wifi right now. Next week I'll try the tablet and I'll try everything you said. If the new tablet has the same problem of course, I hope it goes well.

See below and bands i have Separate bands!
Galaxy-Tab-S4
dual stack
Galaxy-Tab-S4
device info type 5 GHz
IP address: 000.000.0000 (DHCP)
MAC address: 77:EE:00:FFD:00
I have the same problem and I noticed that it came with the Anroid Pie update! 2,4G is working fine in my S4.
I have another tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition and 5G Wifi is working flawlessly.
Might it be software issue in Android 9?
My basebandversion is T835XXU3BSF4, kernel 4.4.153-16124683 #2 Fri Jun 14 2019.
My Tab S4 was ,finally, updated to Android 9. 5GHz working fine. Both 5GHz and 2.4GHz working fine...
All good here...
I got one coming in the mail and will report back on my success but if you don't get internet trying setting your dns manually to Google's public one for testing. 8.8.8.8 Could also be related to the channel the router is using for 5ghz.

Okay, so I got a new tab s4, and I have the same problem. At the second floor of my house, I don't connect to the 5Ghz wifi. I have separated bands. I tried changing the channel... I don't know what else try.

5GHz WiFi has less range than 2.4GHz, maybe the signal strength is not enough at the second level. Use the lowest frequency band available, move the base unit to a place less obstructed etc. This does not sound like a device issue.

Yeah, I know, the device issue is that all my other phones, computers and devices are able to connect to the wifi. I enabled the smart wifi and it looks like it's going better, the tablet is able to get better download speed.
