If you remember back when the Google Nexus One was launched, the specifications stated that the chip-set inside the Nexus One supported 802.11n. When we all received our phones but we could not connect to anything over 802.11g.
In a sneak attack, Broadcom and Google has dropped a new set of WiFi drivers for the Google Nexus One that appear to support 802.11n.
Cyanongen has been quick to grab the drivers and KMobs has compiled them, installed them on his phone and successfully connected to his own WiFi-N network.
Check out the video below:

Actually I consider the Nexus One to be still a puppy.

The Nexus is a piece of garbage. The reason that their is connection issues is because the idiots put the antenna towards the bottom of the phone precisely where you hold the phone in the palm of your hands.
The reason Goolge is not further trying to fix this issue is because they can’t without redesigning the phone and issuing a massive recall. Somethat we all know is not going to happen.
You’d think that Google would have scrapped this phone design during the dog fooding process that we all heard about. There is not doubt that this issue was well documented during this phase of post development testing.
Bottom line is that this phone sucks and is an embarrassment for Google. I’m embarrassed that I used to own this phone. Google won’t issue you a refund. I tried already based on false advertising. They told me to hold the phone at the top towards the volume button. Who the hell holds the phone up around the top of the phone? No one.
I agree, if a class action lawsuit for the N1 comes around, I am signing up for it.
If it can be fixed by software, then so be it, if it cant. I want a new phone.
Homosexuals hold it like that!
no (ph)one is perfect. Nexus is one of the best phone out there. Never had any connection issue with nexus.
G1 to Behold2 to Mt3G – now own Nexus.

Does this mean that the Desire will also be getting a wirless N upgrade or does it have a different adapter.

My Nexus One has no 3G connection issues. It works perfectly. My telco uses quad-band GSM and WCDMA 900/2100. If the problem is with AWS 1700, I’ll never see it. HTC put the antennas at the bottom of the phone for many models. Nothing to do with it except perhaps when signal is very marginal. My Nexus One is the best phone I’ve ever used. No issues here.

Ditto – I have had the Nexus One in my hands within four days of it becoming available on Google’s website. It is running a Vodafone UK SIM and is completely bulletproof. It will switch from 2G to 3G reliably in accord with Vodafone’s prevailing signal. Nothing more could be asked of it. Whatever signal is available the Nexus One will lock on to it reliably (in the UK).
There is absolutely no need to hold the handset in any abnormal manner. The siting of aerials at the bottom of the handset is nothing unique to the Nexus One. There are many modern handsets with their aerials at the bottom. So lets have no more of that nonsense.
