802.11n includes a number of "optional" features, so how much of it does the Galaxy S actually implement?

My Wifi router supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously with different SSIDs, but the Galaxy S only ever sees the SSID of the 2.4GHz AP. So I suppose it does not support 802.11n in the 5GHz band?

Also, even when standing right next to the router, it showed only a 65Mbps connection. Shouldn't that go to at least 150Mbps? And actually higher if MIMO is supported?

If the Galaxy S' "802.11n" doesn't support anything better than 2.4GHz band with 65Mbps, it's a fake - 802.11g does 2.4GHz/54Mbps, so the "802.11n"-support boils down to be effectively nothing.

Has anyone managed to get better Wifi results with the Galaxy S?

I can confirm that the 5 Ghz band is indeed not supported.
I was totally worried, as it didn't recognize my network set up at home (using the netgear WNHDE111 AP's). I knew for sure that the network was working for my pc's, but the galaxy S couldn't find it (even with the easy-to-use WPS functionality).
Apparently, when browsing the interwebz, it's a much more common problem that also occurs on the Nexus One. I haven't looked further to check if it is Android related or hardware related.
This is an interesting read : http://android.modaco.com/content/google-nexus-one-nexusone-modaco-com/312579/wifi-n-802-11n/

Again a disappointment on my Galaxy S. First I wasted two hours trying to get it connected to my PC (which was solved by following the guide on http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pocketpc.ch%2Fsamsung-galaxy-s%2F97453-windows-7-64bit-so-funktioniert-samsung-kies-workaround-update-04-07-2010-a.html&sl=de&tl=en ) and then the not-working wifi access ...
