If this can not get fixed, this is unfortunately a deal-killer for me. Having passed on the iPhone 4S and with the 5 being boring, I decided Android is way more fun and I can do lots more. So yesterday I turned in my venerable iPhone4 for a sweet Galaxy S3 and absolutely love it. Not sure I am even going to root it, but yeah, probably will. HOWEVER, this wi-fi thing is killing me.
I have a larger house and put in and configured three wireless access points (WAP's) using DD-WRT flash of the trusty Linksys WRT-54 series.
The family iPhones and a Galaxy S2 have never had an issue roaming around the property and switching seamlessly to the nearest WAP. I have a single network, WPA2, g-only.
But this GS3 is a bugger. Weak signal unless I am right in front of the router. No matter if I move to in front of a WAP or restart wi-fi, it never hooks to them.
This is bad as I do a lot with the wi-fi around my house.
I do not want an HTC One X, it's GS3 or iPhone 5. I have looked into this online searching and it seems that this is still ongoing after many months.
I seem to have two issues, the common wi-fi range thing, and this WAP switching which I can find nothing on.
I have tried the *#001# and updated from AT&T and nothing has worked.
