Default Wireless N with GS

I already have N Draft network setup for my media server but it seems like my GS never pick it up. When I search for Wifi it only come up with the normal G Draft. How so?

It may be a difference in draft-n and true finalized n. Besides, battery life is better on g, and unless you will be transfering HD movies to your phone I don't see the problem. Your internet doesn't break G spec speeds.

I dont mind the G speed for browsing cuz I know it will never break that speed anyway but what I was trying to achieve is..

If there is an app that let me stream HD media file, wirelessly, from PC to phone, << that would need N draft for sure cuz G will not be able to handle it. And because of this reason, im just a bit worried that my GS doesnt pick it up

Note: ie; in iPhone they have an app called "Air Video" which let user streaming media file from PC to iPhone wirelessly

Try turning off all other specs like b and g in your router and leave n on. The phone just might prefer g over n for battery life (the hd2 had n disabled for this reason)

Heard today that Android 2.1 doesn't have drivers for or doesn't support N(I forget which), so you have to wait for 2.2 if that has em.

Regards

Edit-------------------------
2.2 supports N, 2.1 doesn't. Just did a quick search on google

That doesn't mean the Galaxy S can't use N. It only means that Android 2.1 can't use N by default. Samsung might have solved this issue on its own.
