Wifi not connecting 5ghz, sw or hw problem

[PJ_DnB]

Hey guys

I got my n4 last week and I noticed my wifi (on 2.4ghz) did not work that great. I upgraded to 4.3 and enabled 5ghz on my router. It worked like a charm and I got 30 down without a problem. When I started installing custom roms it would no longer connect to 5ghz. I tried almost all modems and it does not work, it just does not connect. I tried factory reset back to 4.2.2 and it still does not work. Did I break my hardware or can it be fixed with sw?

Thanks..

Ps: I am currently on an EDGE network with low signal strenght. When my wifi is not connected I get better signal..

Most likely hardware unfortunately.

You sure? I can connect fine to 2.4ghz networks now, just 5ghz does not work, but that seems to be a common problem?

Strange, one works but the other doesn't.
Did you try reflashing the radio and which radio do you have?

Yes I tried flashing almost all radios.. Using .84 now. And I can see the network, most of the time, but when I try to connect, it just loses it and can not see it anymore.

Try flashing a custom rom, that fixed my Bluetooth issue so it should help you.

I'm on PA right now, and it works just fine with 2.4 ghz now. But 5ghz is still an issue.. Not sure wether I should send it in..

Yeah you should, looks like the WiFi chip is not working with dual band correctly.

Thanks for your input, strange that it worked at the beginning with 5ghz only and now with 2.4 ghz only

Before sending it back you should flash it to the stock rom and lock the bootloader, of course quickly check if WiFi works with both bands properly and if that fails then wipe the data.
