I have stock rooted Moto X on Tmobile and just purchase new 5ghz router. My Nexus 5 on 4.4.4 connects without issues but Moto X on 4.4.2 can see the network but as soon as I try to connect it tells me its Out of Range.

Anyone know what the problem is ?

Sorry, mine connects with no issue, did you try to remove the network and start fresh?

I did, but signal is very poor, need to be very close to my Airport Extreme to use it.

My router is a Netgear R6300 (v1) AC1750 with firmware V1.0.2.38_1.0.33 (I have not upgraded the router firmware due to known issues) Channel selection options for 5Ghz are 36,40,44,48, 143, 153, 157, 161.

I have no problems using my X with it (I left the router on the default channel 153 for 5Ghz)

While my iPad Air, iPad Mini w/Retina, iPad 3, iPhone 5s, Note 3, Note 2, Thinkpad with Edimax EW-7811Un b/g/n adapter, Samsung Ativ SmartPC Pro 700 (built in B/G/N), and even my two old Moto Xooms work on 5Ghz, my Galaxy S5 can't see the SSID for 5Ghz on the router unless I use channel 48 or below. But I don't care, my S5 is my work device and I rarely use it on wifi at home, so when I do, 2.4ghz is fine.

I have a Linksys EA6700, which supports 5ghz 802.11ac, and I have disabled the 2.4ghz wifi.

I'm having problems connecting my Moto X to the wifi network as well - the range is EXTREMELY limited: I can be 15 feet away from my router and there would be no signal...

but my iPhone 5s and Q10 can still connect from that range
