Bad Wi-Fi Range

[anon(22913)]

Is anyone else getting not so great range with the wi-fi compared to other devices?

Mine isn't too good either, I have to be in the same room with my router to get a full signal. One room away and the bars drop to one, kind of odd.

 

[kvaughan#AC]

I am. In places where my iPhone would have a full signal my EVO will barely get it.

 

[Captweez]

Seeing it here too. I don't know whether it's effecting the functionality, but I am not very far from the router and only have one bar? Could this be a defect?

 

[machjuan#AC]

Same here. I notice that being in the same room that my router is in, I sometimes see the signal drop a bar. I mostly always have two of the three on. I wonder if this can be fixed.

I notice this as well. Ill find out tonight if its an issue when I go to bed.

I have noticed some discrepancy with the WiFi range, it kinda fluctuates when I'm close to the Routher.

I noticed this as well... I was questioning it, but my wifi speed was fine... I think.

 

[Slayix312]

Same here. It's fluctuates a lot even though I stay in the same spot. I will go all the way down to 1 WiFi bar from completely full.

Thank god! I thought it was me. Evo gets weak signal (18 Mbps) while my computer gets 54 Mbps. This better be fixable with a software upgrade.

I'm getting kicked off my WiFi constantly and even the 3g radio connection is fluctuating wildly.

Well then, 2.2. can't come soon enough. The Evo has an N wifi card in it, but 2.1 cannot utilize it. 2.2 does. My Hero doesn't get a great wifi signal, but it was worse when I had 1.5 on it.

My WiFi seems weak too

 

[jedisrus]

I thought it was just me. In the same room as my router I get 4.5 down and one room over that drops all the way down to .74. Hopefully this can be optimized through a software update.

 

[naknek]

Yes, definitely weak wifi and the 3G is not quite as good as my old phone either.

Great, more issues. Where are HTC and Sprint on this? I don't want my phone to have these things wrong with it.

 

[Auzo]

I have the WiFi issue as well, sitting right next to router and see 2 bars.

Also can anyone else check there Bluetooth reception? Mine is crap. Literally holding my phone next to my ear-piece and i can still hear crackling

My wifi strength is better than my touch pro 2. Full bars in the same room, 2 bars downstairs. With the touch pro 2, the downstairs signal would cut in and out. But in general I don't think HTC has very good radios (cell or wifi).

My Bluetooth reception is great. No problems at all, I'm using my Jabra 8040.

same here, both wifi and regular data.
