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.
Since receiving the 1.29 builds (.11 this morning) I've noticed the One X's wifi performance to be seriously sub-par. My home Wifi AP (a Cisco WAP4410N) is in the next room to me and yet the Wifi indicator on the One X status bar shows only the dot (no bars) and Wifi Analyzer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en) shows a signal strength of about -90 dBm (very close to disconnecting). My Galaxy Nexus by comparison (placed beside the One X) shows between -50 dBm and -60 dBm... (my iPhone 4 never drops below two bars and seems to hold a strong signal wherever I go in the house).
Is this similar to others experience? Something's seriously at fault here, it's so bad I'm thinking of switching back to the Galaxy Nexus...

Same here - got 129.401.11 this morning and wifi indicator now seems 2 bars less than before the update. In fact wifi has now totally dropped off despite my netbook having 4 bars in the same place.
Is it possible to rollback out of this update as I was having no issues before the update?
I've had a hox from 3 since day one. The original 3 software had this bug, the updated 3 software had this bug and now I'm on the latest Arhd 6.0 wifi is slightly improved but still much worse than my wife's gnex my pc and our laptop.
Really hope HTC can fix this with software and soon

Hi - does settings-privacy-"backup my settings" and "automatic restore" keep all my settings, including the general phone settings and app settings?
I've never done a factory reset on a HTC and don't want to root so Titanium backup isn't an option. Thanks.
I've had the same issue with mine since day 1 with no real improvement through ROM upgrades. I tried the same test with my Asus Transformer side by side with the One X and from about 5 meters from the router but still in direct view of it I got -50dbm on the TF and -90dbm on the HOX
I also get times when the the radio won't reconnect after losing signal requiring the Aircraft mode switch to reset the radio.
All very sub standard and now really wish I'd got an unbranded phone so I could get latest OTA's

Yes, tried that numerous times. Most of the times it was on Best Wifi, but didn't help.
Yes, I had best wi-fi on before and still have it enabled but it still seems to be a fair bit worse after this s/w upgrade.
I have the same problem last week after my 1.29 update, what i did was to switched my wifi router off and after a few seconds switched it on again, after i did that, i got a full bar again, hope this help.
The problem I'm seeing is that the wifi seems really erratic - it can show full bars or no bars with the phone in the same place and Wifi-Analyzer shows the signal to be weaker than I'd expect and compared to other devices in the same location.
All you have to do to make wifi better after update is factory reset works perfect

I'm doubtful. It seems it's hardware related.
Try squeezing the back top left of the phone and watch the wifi improve before your eyes.
A loose connection seems the most likely fault. It's send back time I'm afraid

Same here. Signal strength improves dramatically when gentle pressure is applied on the top left then drops away completely when released before returning to a weak signal state. Not something that a software update will resolve. Disappointed to have to return this otherwise flawless phone.
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?

It will always be that way. 2.4 is what everybody uses. 5ghz is kind of no so not really clogged up. Not that many devices using 5

I get that. My new router does the same either way I gave up trying to figure it out cause you have no control what the cable provider does as far as internet service goes.

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.
Suddenly in the last 4 days or so my WiFi on the 5X is incredibly slow. Say if you're downloading an update on the play store or loading a Web page, it will just sit there and try to load. If you give it long enough it will eventually load. It doesn't do this all of the time but seems to be getting worse. I can cut WiFi off and it loads great on lte. My Nexus 6 does fine on WiFi. Anyone else having this problem?
Same here sometimes it works fine and other times it hangs up nexus 5 works fine

WiFi issues are common with any device, you could find similar threads in every device forum on XDA. Each home network is different with unique routers, different settings, etc. Basic WiFi troubleshooting steps are the best place to start.
Knowing your WiFi is working is a good start but there's probably a setting or incompatibility somewhere causing the slow downs.
Just an FYI for anyone else that might have this problem. I tried everything and no luck. Google is sending me a replacement.
Hi,
I just recently ditched my galaxy s3 bcoz of the lag, seems like it's better than my new nexus 5x in terms of wifi.
An app from the play store downloaded faster on my s3 than it did on my N 5x.
Out of the box, my 5X was painfully slow on WiFi. Called Google. Tried the usual cast of 'fixes' with no improvement. Google is sending a replacement, but based on my experience with the Nexus 4 (they still haven't fixed the 4's WiFi issues) I am not hopeful. My Nexus 5 works extremely well, so may just keep it for another year or two.

I'm kinda feeling the same way.
Tried forcing the device to 2.4ghz or 5ghz in its WiFi settings?
In the WiFi's advanced menu you can force either 2.4 or 5 ghz. Just tested on mine. 5 ghz got the expected ~20 ms ping with 60 mb download speed. And 2.4 ghz got 600 ms ping with 0.1 mb download. Might be interference here at work because there are 15 Bluetooth devices here. Will have to confirm when I get home.
I tried forcing the various ghz, just made wifi not work at all. My download speeds seem fine but I'm getting virtually no upload speeds. Had a 6P I was trying out and it worked fine.

Got the replacement 5X today. WiFi speeds are slightly better, but still grossly unacceptable, as compared to the Nexus 5. Got another RMA and decided there's no 5X in my future. Sticking with the 5.

One of them (2.4Ghz or 5Ghz) may not work if the WiFi network doesn't support that frequency. For instance my aging Wireless G network only supports 2.4Ghz and if I set it to auto I may experience strange WiFi issues, if I set it to 5Ghz it won't work at all.
One of them has to work though or you'd never get any WiFi signal.

That's too bad, WiFi on this phone is twice as fast as the N5. Dual MIMO antennas and double the maximum theoretical bandwidth compared to the N5.

Perhaps I should try another router before giving up on the 5X. I haven't had any issues with the Linksys E4200v2 but one never knows. I'll enable WiFi on the brand-new cable modem and see if it's any better.
Just reviving this thread to see if anyone reached resolution.
I'm seeing consistent 4-6 Mbps downloads on an older 2.5 mixed router. On uploads I see in the 15 Mbps range. Every now and then I'll see downloads in the 20-30 Mbps range.
My laptop on the same router at the same time consistently maxes out at 30 Mbps downloads.
I had identical problems with two 5X's, intermittent & slow wifi, on 2.4G (I don't have a 5G router yet.) My previous Nexus 4's and all other devices worked fine.
BUT, when I upgraded my wireless AP's firmware (it was fairly old) and changed from 40Mhz to 20Mhz band (there is a lot of 2.4G interference in my area) the problems went away completely and it's been solid. I've heard similar stories in other threads about 5X wifi being fixed by router updates.
So try changing to 20Mhz band if you're on 40 now (on 2.4Ghz). Also upgrade your router firmware if it's older.
I'm not making excuses for the phone not working well in this scenario, just saying it made a tremendous difference for me. I wish I had any idea what 'fix' might have been in the firmware updates, but it was like 2+ years worth I skipped over, and it's not documented well. My AP is a Ubiquiti UAP, if anyone has similar.
So I would say to anyone having issues, it's very unlikely your actual phone is bad, but there may be some incompatibility especially with older wifi routers/AP.
Thanks. Tried setting the channel width to 20 mhz w/ no impact. Tried shifting the channel to a less used on and still seeing the same ~4 Mbps download and 11 Mbps upload. I don't get why the download is less than the upload. I had similar issues with a newer router so not sure that's it either...
I saw the exact same, where upload was erratic but generally much faster than download. Unfortunately it's probably not 'new' vs 'old' routers, just some certain feature/algorithm/behavior. Even though it works now for me at home, I have no doubt I'll run into lots of places where I'm on some other wifi and it will degrade horribly again. So although it may be 'solvable', I still consider this a pretty significant issue with the 5X, since most places you have no control over the router.
.... and after about 2 days of good behavior, my 5X is stuck at ~2.75 down, 22 up. So flashing the router only worked temporarily.
It definitely looks like something with backward compatibility with older routers. Nice new 5 ghz router at work and hitting 55 Mbps download speeds. Similar uploads as with my home router. Waiting on a new wireless mesh system for home, so guess I have to deal with it until they ship in Feb.....
I've been running resurrection rom for the last month and change. Flawless performance except the wifi issue. It'd the only rom I've used that has it. I'm forced to use my 2.4 wifi signal. My 5ghz shows up but it's stupid slow and has less signal strength? Even though it's coming from the same router. I've changed channels. Idk what to do. This is the only rom it happens on. As you can see in the picture it's weaker yet coming from the same router.
5ghz by nature of it being a higher energy wavelength doesn't penetrate through walls nearly as well as 2.4ghz so to have a lower signal strength with an equal amplifier power is to be expected. Diagnosing a slower speed is basically impossible to do based on the info you provided though.

Sorry should have also posted a speed test. I'm getting my full speeds. Actually a bit better. I'm getting from 25-30 mbps. Same with 5 and 2.4...its just when I actually go to use the internet for anything it's slow on the 5. YouTube videos barely play in 480.and the router is in a room 15 feet from me. It's no slouch either it's an ac1600. I know it's something with the rom just not sure what.

yea android's default behavior with ipv6 is bad most manufacturers make tweaks with their official software to fix it but some roms don't incorporate those changes because they may or may not be open source.
