I'm struggling to get my Padfone 2 to connect to my 5GHz network, I've tried changing channels and settings on my router and no luck. My HTC One X does connect to the same 5GHz network without problem. Anybody else having similar problem?
EDIT: Found the problem: Padfone 2 does not see 5GHz channels: 36, 40, 44, 48. Configure router to use any other 5GHz channel and then it's working.
Yes, my padfone cannot 'see' my 5Ghz network. I've tried changing a few settings on the access point, but couldn't be arsed to keep tinkering too long, so gave up. I'm now connected to the plain old 2.4Ghz.
there is an INI config file under /Etc/Firmware/Wlan if we had Root and could modify, we could potentially get 5GHz to work, I see many 5GHz related options:
# This file allows user to override the factory # defaults for the WLAN Driver
# Enable IMPS or not gEnableImps=1
# Enable/Disable Idle Scan gEnableIdleScan=0
# Increase sleep duration (seconds) during IMPS # 0 implies no periodic wake up from IMPS. Periodic wakeup is # unnecessary if Idle Scan is disabled. gImpsModSleepTime=0
# Enable BMPS or not gEnableBmps=1
# Enable suspend or not # 1: Enable standby, 2: Enable Deep sleep, 3: Enable Mcast/Bcast Filter gEnableSuspend=3

#Auto Shutdown Value in seconds. A value of 0 means Auto shutoff is disabled gAPAutoShutOff=0
# SAP auto channel selection configuration # 0 = disable auto channel selection # 1 = enable auto channel selection, channel provided by supplicant will be ignored gApAutoChannelSelection=0
# Listen Energy Detect Mode Configuration # Valid values 0-128 # 128 means disable Energy Detect feature # 0-9 are threshold code and 7 is recommended value from system if feature is to be enabled. # 10-128 are reserved. # The EDET threshold mapping is as follows in 3dB step: # 0 = -60 dBm # 1 = -63 dBm # 2 = -66 dBm # ... # 7 = -81 dBm # 8 = -84 dBm # 9 = -87 dBm # Note: Any of these settings are valid. Setting 0 would yield the highest power saving (in a noisy environment) at the cost of more range. The range impact is approximately #calculated as: # # Range Loss (dB) = EDET threshold level (dBm) + 97 dBm. # gEnablePhyAgcListenMode=128
#Preferred channel to start BT AMP AP mode (0 means, any channel) BtAmpPreferredChannel=0

Yes. That section seems particularly interesting: #SOFTAP Channel Range selection Operating band # 0:2.4GHZ 1: LOW-5GHZ 2:MID-5GHZ 3:HIGH-5GHZ 4: 4.9HZ BAND gAPChannelSelectOperatingBand=0
also there is the dangerous Maximum TX Power
and why this disabled... # WMM Enable/Disable WmmIsEnabled=0 Surely it's needed enabled for N, maybe it's just defaults INI, with real values in use stored elsewhere.

Thank You. I tried to connect my Padfone 2 (the Version without LTE/ NFC) to my notebook. Only to check if WLAN a is working. My Notebook supports only 4 channels.
