Dell Venue 8 Android doesn't see 802.11n, only 802.11g

I need to edit a video that was shot using a camera with MXF / P2 files. I am having a terrible time trying to get these files converted to a format that MAGIX will import. Finally I download free Aunsoft TransMXF Pro for Mac trial version, it works well and I get output videos with perfect video/audio synchronization.

I know, Many people complain that there are video and sound problem when they transcode P2 MXF to MAGIX, or to FCP, iMovie, FCE, QuickTime, etc. So firstly I’d like to share a tip about P2 MXF file. You Know, Unlike Canon MXF where audio and video is stored in the same file that can be separated for archiving, P2 MXF files store each track of video and audio in separate files. If you only have some loose P2 MXF clips, the files will only have image but no audio.

In order to convert MXF audio and video files without sound missing, loading the whole folder to MXF file converter is a smart option. However, even you just load P2 MXF clips from "VEDIO" folder, Aunsoft TransMXF Pro for Mac can recognize audio tracks from 'AUDIO' folder automatically. I like this. This MXF video and audio can fast convert P2 MXF files into various other video formats workable for MAGIX, including HD video formats like AVI, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, WMV, VOB, MKV, MOV,etc.

Here is my experience on this superb MXF video and audio Converter to encode P2 MXF footage to MAGIX Movie Edit Pro with MPEG-4 HD video.

Step1. Load P2 MXF footage into TransMXF Pro for Mac

Free download trial version or buy full version, Click "add video" to load P2 MXF clips from "VEDIO" folder or click "add folder" to load the "VEDIO" folder/entire P2 MXF folder. You also can drag P2 MXF files to it directly. Here please ensure that you have the entire MXF file structure as it saved on P2 card. And I suggest preview MXF files to avoid of no audio in source file.

I think the icon on the interface is clear, simple to operate. Staying cursor on the icon, brief explanatory note will turn up to help you know the function.

Step2. Click the format bar and select ""HD Video"→"MPEG-4 HD Video (*.mp4)" for MAGIX Movie Edit Pro."

Click "format". Under the HD video list, it’s clearly to see proper formats with accurate description for MAGIX. The user-friendly format bar of TransMXF Pro for Mac will take you less than 30 seconds to select format in this step.

You can directly text HD or any format you selected for MAGIX in the search bar, even faster.

Step3. Click the Settings to set audio and video profile for output MPEG-4

Before converting P2 MXF to MAGIX editable format, you can adjust audio and video profile, including video size, video bitrates, video frame rates, audio channels, etc.

Step4. Click convert button in the main interface to trnascode P2 MXF footage to MAGIX Movie Edit Pro

This MXF converter is efficient and effective, running conversion at super fast speed.

Not for a while, with just a click on "Open output folder", I located the export MPEG-4 video easily. Finally, I got high definition MPEG-4 video with no sound problem encoded from P2 MXF for MAGIX editing.
If you look for any MXF audio and video file converter or solution about how to apply codec to p2 cards for iMovie, MXF to FCP, MXF to FCE, MXF to Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas, etc, Aunsoft TransMXF Pro for Mac is a good option.

I  am hoping that this issue gets resolved as well! i have the same Router as well and all my other devices are on the 5G band and can see both, but not the Venue 8!:emotion-9:

Your router should have two bandwidths: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. 5GHz is the 300Mbps and the 2.4GHz is the 54Mbps. My tablet only sees the 2.4GHz and if it is wireless N capable......it should see both!

Can you tell me how you know this? I have the Linksys E3200 but don't know how to tell what the connection is. Thanks.

12/07/2013 12:54:58PM Agent (Sandeep_181220):  I have discussed this case with my supervisor and he suggested that the card is designed to work only with 2.4GHz frequency and might not work with 5GHz N wireless networks as N wireless networks mostly works on 5GHz frequency."

When working in a tech support/customer service job......you NEVER use these words! It shows ignorance and lack of knowledge on their end! I am an 18 year  IT Specialist and I read and make sure i know what the specs are before asking!

N2PC_TECH__SUPPORT,

Can you post an ipconfig /all log so I can see which adapter is installed?

This is for tablets, not PCs!

in Linux: ifconfig -a

Original poster, If you have solved your problem, can you please mark the correct thread(s) with your solution. Thanks

I haven't seen any proposed solutions to making the tablet work on 802.11n @ 5GHz, only confirmations that other users are having the problem.

I spoke with Tech Support last night regarding this issue.

It appears that the Venue 8 only supports 802.11n 2.4 GHz. There is no support for 802.11n 5GHz. This is technically valid as 802.11n support doesn't require a device to support both bands.

I personally believe that the specifications should be listed such that it's clear what bands are supported.

This PC Mag Venue 8 review indicated that the product is dual-band; the Dell Venue 8 product guide also states this, although the web page listing doesn't say one way or the other. 

Given that the product specs say it is dual band, why are they saying that it doesn't support 5GHz?

I am running a Belkin router (COBF11) and it normally connects with my WiFi N devices at 150 Mbps.  It connects with my WiFi G components at 58 Mbps.

With the Venue 8 Android tablet it is connecting at 58 Mbps, like it does with the G. (all at the same distance from the router).

However, if I bring the Venue 8 right next to the router, it goes to 65 Mbps, still less than half that of my netbook running "N".

So, something is restricting the connection speed...

I have the same issue on the Venue 7 Android tablet trying to see an N network on my Asus AC router. It cannot see anything on the 5Ghz Band. Oddly, like other people, I see literature which states the Venue 7 is dual band. I had hoped to use the device with a Chromecast but I am only able to pass my G credentials to the Chromecast, which means it stutters on some content.

This is an unfortunately major issue in my opinion. Is anyone aware of the chipset onboard and if there is any chance of a software upgrade to enable 5ghz N?

Hopefully Dell is watching these forums.

Unfortunately Dell does not monitor any forums, even there own.... I am having the same issue as everyone, no 5ghz option... Both the venue 8 and 7 are described as offering dual band WiFi on Dell's website. I have filed a complaint with the  <ADMIN NOTE: Substitute character removed as per TOU> for false advertising. Won't do anything but if enough people file complaints, maybe Dell will get fined.  My wife still loves her Venue but I personally prefer my Nexus.
