Title: How to choose band so that my new phone can acess the internet via dlink.
Post by: minit55 on March 20, 2011, 08:11:26 AM

I have just gotten a new touch phone that has wifi. and i wanna use it through my dlink dir-825 router.

My phone is the nexus s with 2.3 andriod OS.

The problem is that my phone can see the 2.4 ghz connection it just keeps reporting "deactivated" i did acess other wifi and used the internet over a router. So i know the phone works.

So my question is:
1. Can i make my router ONLY be in 2.4ghz mode, if so, can you link or explain it???

2. Does anyone else have the same phone/router/problem that i do and have a solution for it ???

Regards.

try changing the WiFi mode to single mode G or Mixed G and N. Set up the Security for WPA/WPA2 and Auto Cipher with a password.

I have both a Nexus S and the DIR-825. You don't need to setup your router to be "G" only or even 2.4 GHz only. The phone supports the "N" band.

My settings are as follows:
Wireless Band: 2.4GHz Band
Enable Wireless : [Checked] Always
Wireless Network Name : "Whatever you what"
802.11 Mode : Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b
Enable Auto Channel Scan : [Checked] (uncheck this if you want to manually select your channel)
Wireless Channel : [grayed out if auto scan is checked]
Channel Width : [Auto 20/40MHz]
Visibility Status :   Most people want their WiFi visible

Security: "Whatever you decide" I use WPA-Personal

WPA Mode: [WPA2 Only]
Cipher Type: [AES]
Group Key Update Interval: [3600]

Wireless Band: 5GHz Band
Enable Wireless : [Checked] Always
Wireless Network Name : "Whatever you what" (I add 5GHz behind the SSID to differentiate the two networks)
802.11 Mode : Mixed 802.11n and 802.11a
Enable Auto Channel Scan : [Checked] (uncheck this if you want to manually select your channel)
Wireless Channel : [grayed out if auto scan is checked]
Channel Width : [Auto 20/40MHz]
Visibility Status :   Most people want their WiFi visible

Security: "Whatever you decide" I use WPA-Personal

WPA Mode: [WPA2 Only]
Cipher Type: [AES]
Group Key Update Interval: [3600]


Make sure you have the newest version of Android (2.3.3) as 2.3 and 2.3.1 were really buggy, I had problems with my WiFi on 2.3.1. I would also suggest rooting your phone and flashing Cyanogenmod 7 to your phone if you really want to unlock the full potential of the phone. See the links below for more information on rooting and Cyanogenmod if needed.
