Superhub 2 Connecting Samsung S2 to 5G wifi
 

Hi all

Just had a superhub 2 installed and would like to connect my phone Samsung S2 to both the 2G and 5 G wifi.

I can see both on my phone and can connect to the 2G fine...however when I try and connect to the 5G network I get and authentication error or not in range error come up (although I am sat right next to it) !

I have connected on my Tesco Hudl on both 2G and 5G fine..

Any ideas what the issue is or a fix...?

Many thanks for your time

Regards

Mike

You might need to change the 5ghz wifi channel setting to auto compatibility.

The 5Ghz wireless on the S2 is horrendous. I would suggest you stop trying and simply avoid it.

the 5Ghz wireless on the SH2 is brilliant, use it all the time on my iPad.

Can you try and "forget" the network and try to connect again from scratch?

You may need to add the phone as a trusted device to get it to connect

Oh how do I do that.......... (can connect to G2) ?

Thanks

So?

Doesn't change the fact that the wireless on his device, which is not an iPad is utterly terrible.

Unless you want to swap his S2 for your iPad? Which you're welcome to do so...

If it helps, my wireless settings are as follows:
Both channels use WPA-PSK[AES] security

2.4GHz
Up to 144Mbps, Greenfield Mode Off

5.0GHz
Up to 450Mbps
Greenfield Mode On
Channel Auto Compatibility

Hope this helps

Greenfield could well be the problem. The S2 does not support HT mode. One of the many crappities of its crappy wifi.

As I said I strongly suggest you don't bother. You're wasting time trying to make something work that'll only make things slower and less reliable.
