can anybody help with this, I have an XDA MINI & my mate has an XDA II. He can connect & maintain a wifi signal while at work but I can only locate the wifi point not connect unless sitting as close as possible to sorce is there something I can do as all works fine at home.

Hi, i recently bought and upgraded a 02 XDA Mini S to WM6 and the wifi seems bad like i have to go right next to the wireless point to get a good signal and even then its not at full bar can any1 help me with this or is it just the wifi is rubbish on the wizard?
thanks,
Kurt
Did you go to start-->settings-->connections tab-->wireless LAN-->power mode tab and set it on best performance? That should give you some more room to work with.
yep still is really bad though about 10 meters and 2 walls away from the router an i couldnt get a signal.
At "10 meters and 2 walls away from the router" I also get no connection -where my Wifi enabled laptop works fine at the same time. Seems like the Wifi on the HTC device is rather weak and operates from a small distance only. Anyways I've learned to live with it.
oh rite well annoying though considering my dell axim x51 can get a very good signal like 30 meters from the access point. is there anyway i can up the power on my wizard? ive got wireless G enabled aswell.
Ya, I have a 7db antennae on my router and I still seem to need to be inside of 20 or so feet, and no walls for my wizard to find the network. I think it's just a weak card.
I also noticed that.
Yes I also noticed that. I have a wifi hotspot subscription and with my old WM5 ROM i can connect and surf without any problem, however when useing any WM6 ROM i just connect poorly and the connection breaks everytime.
Even in my wireless home router i had turn on the name broadcast (enabling WEP of course) in order to connect properly at the first try.
Ive noted this with every WM6 Rom out there and since my device is a G4 i cant upgrade the radio rom. so... well i suffer from this issue also.
Hello,
After finding the amazing WMWifiRouter I keep on searching for a program to help me extand the wifi range in my house, since some rooms i have no wifi in range.
I thought to put the mobile i got (Touch Diamond) in the middle where it can reach my home network, and connect to my home network through it.
In one sentence: make it a wifi repeater..
Any good suggestions?
Is it possible at all?
UMMM no probably not. What you are talking about is mimo and there is no need for it in general. you could use wmwifirouter as you gateway to the internet and use your home router to connect other computers. YOu would have a heating problem and power problem on your phone tho trying to boost the signal to connect. Tho you could move the router closer to the senter useing your phone to provide the internet connection and then you could put it where ever you can get the best coverage in the house. There are instructions on there website on how to do this even using DHCP from the phone thru the router. So maybe this way.
Pocket PC Wifi Repeater
I would also be very interested in this capability, I was in a hotel ounce where I had good wifi in bathroom but not at the desk. So when great wifi is just barely out of range this would be a great utility.
i would be glad to have something like that too.
I would request this by email to WMWifiRouter or if they have a forum not sure if they read posts here
i have trouble to connect to wifi. have problem connecting to wifi where other phones, NB dont its just showing low signal... can someone hlp?? thx in advance
How many "bars" do you get when sitting right next to (3 feet/1 meter) a wireless router?
its full but when i go further like next room it drops to one bar and disconnects. thats my wifi at home and when i want to connect to someones wifi i have one bar where he has full ... would it work if i go to winodows mobile 7 or i checked forums and there is a way to enable 802,11n and it should fix the range of the wifi

looks like ur having the same problem as he is. check this thread and read thru post #5 to last.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150312
+ check if you can get any BLUETOOTH connection (pairing)
if it fails...definately a loose cable issue as i mentioned in that thread.
BT is working perfect even in range where wifi makes problems so i dont think the cable is the problem. if im in one meter distance wifi get full bars but when i check the signal longer it drops to half and back to full. so when the signal is half or less it drops below range and the connection failes. can you tell me whats the max distance of the wifi in HTC HD2??? have the phone in warranty so will try that but dont think they accept this so trying to solve it my self...
depends on the router
is it possible to buy better wifi chip to my phone?
my router is D-link dsl 2641R
I've seen this possible fix in another local forum's SGS2 thread. I tried and it seems to work fine so far. I had no problem with wifi connection at office but at home I could barely even stay connected to internet even though it shows connected to wifi. I couldn't even connect to wifi at home before and after doing this my connection is stable now. Please share your own experience after trying this.
Possible fix:
Open phone app and dial *#*#526#*#*
This will load wifi test drivers
Just leave with home button
Turn on wifi
and please let us know if this works for you too

Ok this may be kind of a long post but I'll first address what I think is the issue.
My note 2 doesn't appear to be automatically switching to stronger available wifi signals unless I manually toggle the wifi off then back on again. It will then connect to the stronger signal.
The reason why this has become an issue is because I bought a Diamond WR300n wifi range extender. I'm using it as a reapter. I want to have better wifi signal in my garage where I spend a lot of time. My current wifi signal drops off pretty much near the garage when using my phone. My laptop still gets decent wifi reception when I'm in the garage though.
I went through the fairly basic setup for the extender and got it working. I confirmed this by plugging in the ethernet port from the extender directly to my laptop and its receiving a signal just fine, browsing the internet etc.
So i put this extender in my garage, it connected normally and I confirmed it was working using my laptop again. Everything appeared to be working fine. The extender has the same SSID as my main wireless router (uverse 78wireblahblah).
The issue is when I'm inside my house I'm connected to the main wireless router because this is obviously the strongest signal. When I walk out of my house the signal diminishes as I approach my garage. I can walk into my garage and my wifi signal is pretty much gone even though there is this repeater putting out a working wifi signal with the same SSID as my main router.
Weird right, one would think it would automatically switch and connect to the repeater in the garage, but it doesn't.
Now if I manually turn off wifi and turn it back on while in the garage, bam, very strong signal and I'm connected. There really is two issues though, 1. my note 2 is not automatically switching over to the stronger signal (both the repeater and main wireless router have the same SSID) in the garage and 2. sometimes it connects to that stronger signal in the garage from the repeater (only after i manually toggle wifi off and on) but the internet doesn't work. I'm actually connected to my network because I can access my "Yamaha receiver app" that lets me turn up volume etc on my receiver but I don't have internet access etc. This is usually the case but after awhile it just seems to start working and I have full internet access.
I know this is only semi phone related but I figured since alot of guys on here are very savvy with this tech stuff, maybe someone could help.
Again
1. why won't my note 2 automatically switch over to that stronger wifi signal which should be the same in the garage.
2. why does it sometimes only connect to the network but doesn't allow outside internet access.
Should I try the "wifi jumper" app that supposedly auto switches to best wifi signal (i thought our phones do this anyways)?
Not sure if this is the right place to post this so please move if need be =)
Thoughts?
Stay on what Samsung preset.
Basically I owned a nexus s, it does have automatically jump to higher signal router or access point in android 4.1+.
So basically the WiFi just jumping from my router to access point and from access point to router and I ended up getting no WiFi signal. I have to switch off my access point (extender) to get my WiFi working again...
And note 2 won't give me this problem.

If you'd ask me, just buy wifi jumper, you won't regret it!
It works perfectly fine with my 4 routers, all with different SSID. It's nice to have the best signal available wherever you are in the house. Wifi jumper gives me the best results I have had since trying a few different apps like it. The owner just finished rewriting the code for connecting to different routers with same SSID, so it should be the perfect solution in your situation!
And no, I'm not affiliated with it in any way, just a happy user :thumbup:

Yeah, Wifi Jumper is probably the way to go. In an ideal world, the WiFi stack would roam properly in all cases, but sometimes you're just not quite far enough for it to roam. This is even an issue with the PC also, but most manufacturers allow you to configure the roaming behavior of the driver to your tastes (max range or max speed).
