Just got this phone today,
I have a Netgear R6300 capable of AC wifi but my phone wont connect to the internet when its on the 5ghz network. It works fine on the 2.5ghz but the other it connects but no internet.
I tried giving it a reserved ip and looking at the settings on my router but nothing is popping out at me?
Anyone have any ideas?

Check the Advanced Wi-Fi settings. Check Freq Band and make sure it is not set to 2.4 GHz only. Also try turning on "Best Wi-Fi Performance" and see if that helps.
Mine connects to my 5GHz network with no problems at all.
Hope that helps.

What router do you have? Also what kind of connection speed are you getting?
I checked freq and it was on auto, tried just 5ghz, also tried Best wifi but it still cant connect to the internet. I gets a connection with the router according to the phone but my 6300 doesnt show it as a connected device.
no problem here i can connect to my 5Ghz network with my a/n capable Time Capsule router. speeds are 55..27 Mbps download / 35.95 Mbps upload. my One wifi settings are set to Auto (vs. setting to 2.5 or 5 Ghz).
I have a Netgear WNDR4500. Speeds are 40 Mbps down and 28 Mbps up. That is with the router 2 floors above me in my house. My settings are also set to "Auto" as well. I connected immediately when I got home on Thursday after getting the device. I have had no problems at all with WiFi. Sorry I cannot be of more assistance.
I have no problem when connecting to my R6300 in AC mode ...
mine connects just fine
No connection at 5ghz, can only connect at 2ghz
I have d-link dr-825 rev B router with [DD-WRT v24-sp2 (04/01/13) std - build 21153] firmware. It has dual 2ghz and 5ghz radios.
I can only connect at 2ghz and unable to connect at 5ghz.
I have a dell latitude laptop and my old Galaxy SII has no problem connecting.
Howvever Htc-One lists the access point, correctly determines what kind of security is on (like wpa/wpa2 etc) but is unable to connect. I think once I saw a brief flash saying authentication failure on my phone when trying to connect to 5ghz. So I removed all security and made it completely open just to try. Again no connection without any error.
I am thinking of returning it if it is going to be a problem.

Ok, I have solved the problem, now it is connecting. I made two changes in the wirless setup. Enable RTS/CTS protection and also enabled short preamble. After these two changes it is connecting as expected.

I'm having the same issue with mine and the same router, can not quiet figure out what is going on.
Just quick update i just did an update on my router and it seems to connect completely fine
For those who have router issues, check for a firmware update! Most routers have a few updates while sitting on the shelf. I used to always update and properly configure routers (with out the software disc) for customers at my old job and we rarely had problems of customers bribing it back. And throw out the disc that comes with the router. The software can cause headaches down the road. All security settings can be done inside the router through any web browser and router IP.
Just got a black ATT HTC ONE, everything is great, but no connection to 5ghz network here either.
I have a Netgear WNDR3700 and just updated to the DD-WRT build 21676, and still no go...
All our macbook airs are working fine on the 5ghz...:cryingrobably time for a new router lol
Connects to my linksys ea6500 5ghz ac just fine link speed around 400 mbps
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app
Added an Airport Express, and 5ghz works fine from that...

Prefers 2.4
I have a dual band N router, and my One seems to "prefer" connecting to the 2.4 GHz network over the 5 GHz.
It will work fine on the 5GHz, but I have to switch it manually when I walk in the house (so I usually don't).
I guess I could just tell my phone to "forget" the 2.4 network to fix this. On more thinking, maybe it's a coverage thing - it probably finds the 2.4 GHz network first. Lower frequencies penetrate walls better, right?

Correct. The 2.4 GHz network should travel further. Its all about that sweet sweet 5 GHz speed though! Mine connects to my Asus RT-AC66U router just fine.

You could always set it to 5ghz preferred. Mine connects to my netgear 5ghz ac router with no issues. Also if you have the same password for both frequencies it could just be connecting to that first.

I did check when sitting in my driveway - the 2.4 GHz network was still 2 "arcs" there & the 5 GHz was just a dot, so I think it is connecting to the first one it finds & sticking with it. In the Wi-Fi preferences, the "Wi-Fi frequency band" options are only Auto/5 GHz only/2.4 GHz only. No 'preferred' option - I'm running stock though - is there something different in the custom ROMs? I'm not afraid to root/ROM - I just haven't seen a good reason yet.

Use the only 5ghz only. There's a big difference with custom roms and stock att at the moment. There's new firmware etc. 2.4Ghz has more penetration through walls then 5Ghz. That's why you have more bars of one and not the other.

Well I want to be able to use the 2.4 GHz networks when available, so I'll leave it on auto. I guess the speed isn't a huge deal when the wireless connection is so much faster than my internet connection.
And yes, I know that there are lots of differences between stock & custom ROMs (my last phone was a Nexus S & I was always changing ROMs). What I meant to ask was if there was a difference with that specific option.
wifi 2.4GHz connection problems
Welcome
I have silver One for 3 weeks now, but it was 2 weeks in service - they reinstalled software and returned phone. No change.
I can't connect to any 2.4 Ghz network (G/N) ending Authentication Error. Only 5GHz works.
I tried it with Netgreat WNDR4700 (Gargoyle custom software), CISCO access point @ work, also random WiFi open networks in shops/malls, etc. Other devices i know and have at home ( Samsung Note II, htc Sensation, Acer Iconia tab, Dell Latitude laptop) works fine. Just the One cosing problems.
I run stock rom, how can I turn on more verbose logging or see what is happening in the Operation system while connecting? I must prove to Regenersis Poland service that my phone does not work. Otherwise they will say phone works within parameters.
Just got my Nexus 9 today from Google Play store UK. Everything seems working ok, except:
I cannot find any wifi 5GHz. I am connecting to my home 5GHz (Virgin Media Superhub) from my HP Pavillion laptop, MBP, iPhone and iPad. But on Nexus 9, I am not able to scan any 5GHz network:
2.4Ghz works fine though:
I have enabled all possible channels in Settings (Wifi Analyzer):
In system Settings, I have tried both Automatic and 5GHz only:
I have performed OTA updated after first time switched on device and connected to 2.4GHz network at work, didn't notice whether there was an issue on 5GHz until I got home.
So, is there a problem with the latest OTA, or simple this unit needs to be RMA?

Mobile devices don't always support all the 5GHz channels that an access point might use. Try setting the Access point to use the lowest channel, say 36 and see if that works?

Hi Phil
Thanks for the hint. It looks like Nexus 9 only able to see channel 34 ~ 48. My broadband AP has selection of 36 ~ 136, and it was on "Auto Performance" and auto selected channel 100 tonight.
Thanks Phil!

Yeah.. Only 34-48 Weird why it doesn't support more than that.

Different countries have different requirements, but often most countries only allow certain frequencies to be used outside, and other frequencies for 5GHz may only be used inside buildings to prevent interference to radar etc.
A mobile device can of course be used outside, so can end up only being setup to use much fewer frequencies than a router designed for indoor use.
Sometimes the router isn't set to the right country, so ends up using frequencies it shouldn't really be using with the mobile device correctly set so ignoring those frequencies or the other way around. 5GHz is a lot more complex for what frequencies can and can not be used, see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels and the chart at the bottom, you'll understand why 5GHz devices sometimes don't see each other, it's a lot more confusing than 2.4GHz.

Using 5ghz wifi
Hi
To use 5ghz have you tried configuring from WIFI from settings - tapping the three dots next to the magnifying glass - Advanced - WIFI Frequency band.
It gives you the option of selecting 2.4 or 5 or both.

i had the same problem! Thank you so much for the fix!
You should be able to use channels 149-161 as well, it's the channels in between that are set aside for DFS and radar, so many devices don't support them.
Working fine for me on Channel 153 with a Nighthawk R7000.

its suposed to work check if your router router chanel are setup correctly
Got mine to connected on the Virgin Media Superhub by changing the channels as suggested. Can confirm it works but very unstable and keeps dropping connection.
I got the same problem.
I got the same problem! I bought my N9 on Nov 11 and used 5GHz without problem until today. In the WiFi Analyzer suddenly can show 2.4GHz only. I have reboot and clear all WiFi App cache & data., still cannot show.
Even connect to 2.4GHz, it took long time to Connect and Authenticate the connection.

Been a while, but since this is one of the top Google results, and I've been pulling my hair for a couple of hours without finding a solution online, I thought I might chime in with what I found.
If your N9 is not seeing certain 5GHz channels, what is your model, WiFi or LTE? Also, apparently there is an "international" version of the LTE one, which I just got (I'm in the US) because it was cheap, and I didn't mind it affecting certain LTE bands, but I didn't think it would affect WiFi. In any case, the solution was to simply insert a SIM card from my region (T-mobile US) and the missing 5GHz networks appeared in the list. I don't have a solution if this is happening with WiFi-only Nexus 9's though.
You need to insert the SIM after turning on the tablet. If you turn it on with the SIM inserted, it won't show the hidden 5GHz channels. You can just reinsert it, or toggle off/on airplane mode though.
I also googled to see if there was an app to change Wifi regions, but the only one I found (from XDA) requires root, and doesn't work for this particular problem anyway.
Well I have never been able to connect to the 5ghz channel until now. Finally! Changing the router to use channel 48 for the 5ghz and it is running as expected. I love fixes like this.

Do you have a Wi-Fi or LTE model? If you have an LTE model have you tried inserting a SIM card like I said in the post above? I got access to the upper channels which are supposed to be higher performance. From 149 to 161.
whats the highest linkspeed you guys are getting? my nexus 6 gets 866Mbps , i guess it dpends on your AC router specs mine is ac1750 i think
what app do i use to check what channel my nexus 9 is connected to? i think its below 36

I use netgears wifi analyzer.
Ok so i am stuck in a situation where my university has a wifi on 2.4 and 5ghz wifi with same ssid from a cusco mesh network. So what happens is my mobile always preffers 2.4 over 5ghz due to more strength but 2.4ghz band is over crowded. Found no option to only make it to conect to 5ghz band. Any sugesstion is welcomed or a way around or a temporary fix. Due to this my years old nexus 5 performs better in wifi performance than my poco f1. I have attached pictures with it so that you guys can understand what i am saying
I have an issue with my galaxy S21 that is not automatically switching between my 5GHz & 2.4GHz wifi network when in close range to the router.
I have smart connect active on my router. When enabled, the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same network name and password(only one SSID will be displayed), and your wireless device will automatically switch connection to the Wi-Fi band that provides the fastest speed.
My device stays connected to the 2.4GHz network, I then have to turn my wifi off and back on again on my phone to connect to the faster 5GHz network when in range. My S21 is the only device on my network that does not do this automatically.
Anyome else experiencing the same or have a fix for this?

I've seen the same behavior. My configuration is the same as yours. I did a little experiment. I switched off the 5GHz range on the router. All clients switched to the 2.4 GHz range. Then I switched the 5GHz range on again. But even after 30 minutes, my 3 dual-channel android devices Galaxy S21, Galaxy Tab S4 and Galaxy S6 were still in the 2.4GHz range. Then I switched the S21 wlan off and on again. The s21 immediately connected to the 5GHz range and the other two devices followed immediately. Very strange. My WLAN router is a Fritz!Box 7590.
Otherwise, I know the behavior of the devices in that the devices only search for a new connection when the current connection is broken.
Sorry for my bad english, I am German.

I see that a stronger signal is important for communication than fastest band. Samsung has a weaker Wi-Fi transceiver compared to a laptop for example. In my dual-band router, I made settings as described above.
The Android device alone can select the WiFi frequency range. Try to make the 5 GHz band more "palatable" to the cell phone by temporarily blocking the 2.4 GHz band in the router. Then remove the login data from the mobile phone and from the router. Make a restart from Handy. Then register the device again and release the 2.4 GHz band. Then test the behavior.
Please let us know if it helped.
Edit: Make sure to use the original MAC address of the mobile phone when log in.
Good day, everyone!
I recently attempted, but failed, to utilize my mobile hotspot to connect a friend's phone to the internet through the 5.0 GHz AP Band. The hotspot shuts off after around 7 or 8 seconds when the AP band is set to "5.0 GHz". For my hotspot to not automatically switch off after about 7 or 8 seconds, I had to resort to utilizing the "2.4 GHz" AP frequency.
I really want to utilize the "5.0 GHz" AP band on my mobile hotspot without having to worry about it shutting down every 7 or 8 seconds, since, although I realize that I will be limiting the bandwave to a smaller region, I will be getting better speeds for my mobile hotspot connections in return.
I read a potential fix posted on this oneplus thread (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/wifi-hotspot-5ghz-not-working.959323/) that sadly didn't work, and provided you have ADB, the major steps outlined were as follows:
1. Connect ADB to your phone
2. Run adb shell settings get global tether_dun_required
- Take note of the value you get (I believe I got "null" the first time around)
3. Run adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0 - restart your phone to get 5.0GHz tethering
If it's important to know, I'm running build 11.0.1.12.DE18CB (OxygenOS) on a T-Mobile variation (DE2118) that has been rooted using Magisk.
If anybody is having this difficulty, or if anyone knows how to repair the problem, it would be much appreciated if you could respond to this thread.
Thank you very much.
Hotspot being all ****ed up and barely working is a long standing "feature" of OnePlus even on qualcomm, and Nord has definitely got the worst of it.
On my device (DN2103_11_A.20), the 5Ghz setting is ignored entirely, it always opens 2.4Ghz hotspot.
Weirdly enough, it does that even while being connected to 5Ghz AP at the same time which I didn't think was even possible. On most mediatek phones, if you use wifi connection, hotspot will insist on sharing its band - ie hotspot band is forced to the channel of the AP the phone is connected to and relaying internet from.
The 2.4Ghz hotspot on Nord2 runs very flaky (only ~5mbits to LTE connection running at 50mbits for the phone itself). Moreover, when not using LTE, but phone is connected to wifi (regardless of whether 2.4Ghz or 5GHz) that is relayed to "forced 2.4Ghz" hotspot, that wifi uplink will become flaky too: 500Mbit/s -> 5mbit/s on 5Ghz, 50Mbit/s->5mbit/s on 2.4Ghz AP. Meaning if you use your phone as range extender, internet will be severely slowed down on the phone itself, and become almost as sucky as it is for hotspot clients.
To top it all off, the issue of "disconnecting after 5-8 secs" occurs randomly for me even on 2.4Ghz, typically in AP relaying situation on same band as explained above. The hotspot toggle is not switching itself off in the UI though - the hotspot AP SSID disappears from the air, as if wisi baseband were repeatedly crashing or something.
The only workaround I know of is to disconnect from wifi, disable hotspot, enable LTE, enable hotspot, let people connect and *then* finally connect to wifi (which "reroutes" hotspot clients from LTE to my wifi uplink).
I don't see how DUN could be related at all here.
tl;dr: Don't bother with 5Ghz hotspot, since the wifi driver is so utterly broken for hotspot it doesn't matter which band you use.

Thank you for your reply ezdiy.
It is terrible to realize that OnePlus has a persistent problem with this, but considering the number of discussions I noticed about this issue (5.0 GHz hotspot not functioning), all on diverse OnePlus devices, I am not surprised. In addition, I wonder why "Nord" may have suffered the worst of such a condition.
The problem you suffer from is unusual. I wish I could assist you, but sadly, I am no expert in these things.
It is interesting, since, it appears that there are some circumstances in which my 5.0 GHz hotspot performs well (Doesn't switch off automatically after 7/8 seconds) and other instances in which it doesn't. Does anything like this happen to you regarding the phone hotspot, where it works better in some circumstances than others?

My apologies for confusion, as I missed your device is N200 (Snapdragon chip, on those hotspot doesn't suck as badly).
My device is Nord 2 5G 12G/256G (Mediatek Dimensity 1200). It's still interesting to compare notes about the hotspot bugs across diverse array of chipsets, though.
This at least hints its something wrong going on in OxygenOS itself.

My device is Nord 2 5G 12G/256G (Mediatek Dimensity 1200). It's still interesting to compare notes about the hotspot bugs across diverse array of chipsets, though.
This at least hints its something wrong going on in OxygenOS itself.

I could tell where you were coming from, ezdiy, so don't worry.
At a first glance, I noticed that the OnePlus 6 and, as you mentioned, the OnePlus Nord 2 5G are both affected by the 5.0 GHz Band issue. However, there appears to be a general Mobile Hotspot issue among OnePlus devices, as evidenced by the OnePlus forums (From the OnePlus 5, to the OnePlus 8 Pro, OnePlus 9, and OnePlus 10 Pro 5G, among many others) and the OnePlus Reddit (Ex: OnePlus 7).
I'm genuinely curious as to what the issue is. It could very well be OxygenOS, as you suggested. Regardless of the issue, I'm curious as to how long it will take for OnePlus to truly resolve such widespread problems.
