Howto: enable 11n on HTC Incredible - xda-developers

Looks good, I havn't tried it yet, waiting on more people to give it a shot, but so far one person has confirmed a 65mbps connection

Can't wait! I need this extra range
Getting into recovery...is it worth it again?

Will you get extra range(being 1x1) besides the router range? If its not able to connect to wireless N does it default to G?

Another good vid. Thanks for your efforts.

 

[Fantasma]

Do most routers broadcast N because where I work I get wifi but I could never get streams to work, maybe they locked the feature? or is it something that only N can do?

hey there, im using windows xp sp3, ive got it into recovery mode with the root method, got the error saying "- exec 'system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory <2> -

But im having trouble.

Hopefully you can help me out. I did place that file you gave me in the root of the sd card.

 

[blue45]

Its a lot easier if you use the mdawg program. i just redid the root process after then added the commands. I could not seem to get su with your method at first.

 

[akvtiger]

Work like a charm for me. Thanks!

 

[blue45]

I used to only get 1.5mb tethering speed which was pretty good, now i get 2.5mb tethering speed with my wireless n notebook card. Sweet thank you!

 

[paimon.soror]

Sweet deal, just gave this a shot. Getting 65mbps transfer rate now . I assume this might be the cap of the phone since a single channel N device should get 150mbps

where can i get that

will this make file transfers between my laptop and my Inc faster? i'm already maxing out my internet speeds. i'm getting up to 13mbps download and 2 mbps upload speeds using the speedtest app. the weakest link is my internet, which isn't weak. the file transfers between my laptop and phone are not as fast as they could be though. so if this will help that, then i'll do it.

I'm getting the same. I'd like 150 though.

 

[Smabbage]

IP Info on my phone is showing 75mbps connection to the router after the mod. Sweeeeeeet!

 

[Droidizzle]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't there an ota coming out for this some time soon?

 

[irishpride]

Worked great for me, thanks for the video!

you are welcome

 

[paimon.soror]

Not too sure but I probably wouldn't do any OTA's after going root mainly because you arent too sure what else the ota may patch up.

 

[Piiman]

Can this be undone? Has anyone gotten wifi tether to work after doing this?

 

[anvilt]

Yes, mine works great. Make sure you keep the bundle of files you rooted with on whatever SD card you're using in your phone. Try a reboot.

 

[syn]

Went smoothly! Thanks! Now all I need is a router that supports wireless-N >.>

As long as you renamed the old driver to *.orig like the steps stated you will be able to undo the change.

Rename the original? opps! unless it was one of the steps in the instructions I'm pretty sure I didn't, now what?
