Has anyone else not been able to see 5ghz networks? My s4 right next to me is connected no problem, the Moto X though does not even see it. I've tried forcing 5ghz only, still no joy.

No problem here... I do believe that Motorola's Wi-Fi radio doesn't play will with some routers, never heard of your problem before though. I have an Asus ac56u and it sees 5ghz fine.

AT&T Moto X rocking 4.4

Wi-Fi 802.11a,b,g,n 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHz, supports only 124-149 chanels
I Use linksys wrt610 and it also doesn't work with 124-149 chanels
Following up on your post here, channel 149 is picked up by my Moto X. Maybe give that a try and see if yours picks it up too. Strange I've never had to do channel specifics for any other phone though. Thanks for the info.

mainbord, where did you get the actual supported channels list from?
as i am also interested in this question. I figured i'd ask it for you. Just for future reference. reply to his post so that it shows up as a notification for mainbord. If he hasn't subscribed to this thread (which most don't unless it is a thread they want to stay updated on) then he won't ever know you asked him a question unless you click the reply button on his thread so you quote him.

Will do. Was at work and responding quick and just didn't do it.

I'm going to call in to Motorola level 2 support tomorrow. I spoke with online chat today and they recommended that.

Ha about that I have a Moto z Droid force and Motorola Droid turbo 2 and they have a mysterious problem I'm using the phone overseas and here I have two different carriers one of them is GSM and the other one is CDMA , if I'm going to use that GSM carrier the phone with operate normally seeing the both 2. 4 gigahertz Wi-Fi and the 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi but if I'm going to use the CDMA carrier I can see the 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi no matter what I do to make the phone see it unless of course I put it in Airplane mode and then searching for the Wi-Fi
And that's the weirdest problem I ever met
