WiFi is definitely 802.11n...

[Kermee]

Following Google page states 802.11n:

http://www.google.com/phone/static/en_US-nexusone_tech_specs.html

Following HTC page incorrectly omits 802.11n and shows 802.11b/g:

http://www.htc.com/www/product/nexusone/specification.html

Using SwiFTP 1.12 and a D-Link DIR-825 with a PC directly wired to the wireless AP via GbE, I get the following results:

ftp> put 1.0-update-nexusone-modacocustomrom-core-signed.zip
200 PORT OK
150 Data socket ready
226 Transmission complete
ftp: 68512910 bytes sent in 32.87Seconds [B][COLOR="Red"]2084.36Kbytes/sec.[/COLOR][/B]
ftp> quit

WPA2-PSK using AES-only.

I'm too lazy to look at the Broadcom specs but from the looks of it, it's definitely a 1x1 WiFi radio seeing it's only a 65Mbps link at 100% signal strength.

Neither of those links you gave shows Wireless-N and it has already been confirmed that it has Wireless N & FM t capability just like the iPhone 3GS and newest iPod Touch, but none of these devices have it enabled.

My nexus hasn't been able to see my N network. Although, mine is set to run in 5gHz and I see yours is running 2.4gHz Going to try switching to 2.4 and see if that works.

Looks like Google removed the references to 802.11n. It was there on the page the first few days it was up. I assure you, 802.11n is enabled on the stock Nexus One.

WiFi radio only supports the 2.4 GHz band.

Doesn't work for me.... Also don't see why they would remove or fail to list an advantage.

 

[TonyHoyle]

11n is definately not enabled - the N1 can't even see my N network.

btw. "2084.36Kbytes/sec." is well within 11g speeds.. it's about 16Mbps.

Its been removed from the Google site now...
Wi-Fi (802.11b/g)


Shhh don't tell Engadget

like the hd2 n wifi exists but it is disabled by htc software and can be enabled only by simple teweak

Let cyanogen know about it

Just to back up the original poster, I noticed the pages said different too:-

I even copied and pasted the text from each page

Lol, just noticed the OP linked to this thread from mine.

So why is the link speed 65Mbps? That's not within 54G specs.

 

[TonyHoyle]

That's what your router says.. it's not the speed you're getting, so I wouldn't trust it.

 

[DebauchedSloth]

I've set my router into N only mode. The N1 connects at 65Mbps - which, as has been pointed out - is an N speed, not a G speed. No G device connected to the router when it was in this mode. The router reported the N1 as connected at 802.11N.

My N1 has an 802.11N radio, no question.

I doubt it actually needs or can fully use that speeds, but that's another matter.

Now I'm sort of tempted to setup another router that is N only just for the N1, BTW. That radio locked on to the N only router faster than I've ever seen it pick up any access point, including the same one in mixed mode.

 

[sepffuzzball]

I would have to agree, the Nexus One has an 11n radio in it.

Reason I know this is all last night and this morning I didn't have 3G (I now do at this time after logging into TMOs website), so I had to connect to my Linksys WRT600N.

WRT600N is running the latest DD-WRT...and I'm currently broadcasting N and A only with WPA2 Personal (AES/TKIP). On top of that, I am only running one of the two APs in my router, the one using the 5GHz band only.

 

[melterx12]

theres an easy way to test it. Go into router settings and set your Wirless setting to 802.11n only, then check to see if the nexus one connects to it.

 

[trinode]

That's what your router says.. it's not the speed you're getting, so I wouldn't trust it.

No, it's the negotiated speed. a G device would never negotiate 65

Not sure how you get more definitive than this:

ifixit teardown:

Wireless chip is a BCM4329. FM Transmitter and receiver. Neat!

BCM4329 Specs:

[TonyHoyle]

There's no doubt the chipset is N capable (whether it's setup that it could be enabled in software is yet to be determined). However is is *not* enabled. Both HTC and Google say this. Testing shows that if you switch a network into N only mode the phone cannot see it.. what more do you need?

According to the anecdotal evidence provided above, it is enabled, but not dual-band, just 2.4ghz.

Note:I don't have a Nexus yet, just summing up other people's observations.
