Hello everyone,
i have noticed that my TP2 has very poor WiFi signal comparing with my Nokia E51 which every time detect so many wifi networks and show good signals
but when I tun the Wifi on TP2, its difficult to detect the same networks
for example, in my work place there are 6 Wifi networks on each floor, and
and for laptops, and Nokia phone it's not a problem to connect on everyone
BUT my TP2 only shows me the closest to me, with very poor signal and its very hard to connect it.. the same situation is when Im outside.
Is the same situation with yours TP2 ? and is there any solution?
P.s. in WiFi advanced set. I have choose Best performance..but no difference!
the rom is orig HTC 1.19.401.1 (51489) WWE - 06/22/09,
and the radio is 3.46.25.30
if u have any ideas please, share it with me..
With best regards,
patzkata
Same here
I have exactly the same problem. I contacted HTC support but they gave me useless advices (like set best performance not best battery, replace the AP, etc). Their final conclusion was to go to warranty with the device - but looking at this forum and finding so many complaints about WiFi I doubt they can replace my phone with a better one ...

I noticed the same think on my one..
g connection with wpa-psk enabled only two bars on the meter connection... and i'm 3mt far from access-point
my rom is 1.19..
and radio is the latest avaible 4.49.25.17
My Kaiser (Tilt 1) has pretty poor WiFi performance too.
Same problem here. Wifi connection is very poor on my TP2. It was much better on my Kaiser. With my TP2 you need to be standing next to the AP to get a connection.
.. So there isnt a solution, right ?
Wifi connection is very good on my TP2
Have they fixed the 1mbs download (receive) limit that we had on the Touch Pro?
I dont' know, but I don't think that this will help to the Wifi
Somebody told me that Rodium with the metal cover (which is mine) has poor signal because of the metal!
that is the reason for some other phones with metal cover.. but I don't know
anyway .. I reflashed my TP2 with the original from the HTC support page
byt everithing is the same
any body have an Idea ?
mine works great, even with static routing setup. linksys is my main wired router with an smc wireless router connected to it. no problems whatsoever. could be something in the router setups.

Even with the strong signal, notice how your Rx rate is only 1 Mbps....
I think this is what everyone is complaining about

I i noticed, that when I open the hardware keyboard, the signal become a little bit better, but my Rx rate is also 1 Mbps, and this is at home, where I'm 5m from the WiFi router ..
I noticed and that the Wifi anten is closer to the power buton from the top of the TP2, becase when my hand is over the Power button side the signal reduced
Bummer. I see from the screen shot that it has the same hobbled 1mbps receive rate. I was hoping HTC would fix that. It makes wifi practically worthless. :-(
Signal on my Touch Pro2 is weak too.. it's full only 1-2 meters from router. But RX rate working fine. With full signal i have RX at 54Mbps. With weak signal is lower. And what is TX rate? RX rate is only 1Mbit when i set power mode to best battery. With normal or best performance settings it depends on signal power.
I connected my daughters iPhone to my wifi networkand noticed that she has 3 times the signal strength that I get on my TP2. HTC needs to fix this it is NOT acceptable

Mine works great. Getting 54 Mbps Tx and Rx. I'm using a NetGear router with RangeMax don't know if that makes a difference or not. It shouldn't.
Something tells me that there's an ideal channel which the device will work on
Channel 5
I have channel 5 set on my Linksys AP, never had full signal, but from time to time I have both RX and TX on 54Mbps. In the past I had an hp ipaq 6915 with 802.11b (11Mbps max) with great signal, but still the real transfer rate (i.e. loading web pages, FTP etc) was lower that TP2's.
I'll try to make a poll to see on which European channel people have their APs and get the best out of TP2.

Got my Tilt 2 yesterday and I can confirm that it's got crappy wifi sensitivity. I hope a firmware / radio update can improve it.
Wifi problem in router, not TP2

Whilst the signal radio reception strength may differ, this doesn't affect the actual receive rates that the unit defaults to.
It has nothing to do with the TP2 as to whether the rate is 1Mbps or 54... it is a setting in the router that alters this. I spent all yesterday looking at all the options on both units... what can be changed in the TP2 settings compared to then changing the router settings.
I found that by forcing the router to broadcast on g or n, and defaulting to channel 3, it forces the TP2 to accept 54 & 54 whereas it was showing 54 & 1 beforehand.
Most routers are default set to 'All' range types, so includes b, g and n (if included) and then most users leave the router to default the rest of the settings.
I have now set my router to force g and n only and forced 20MHz radio rate... although some might not have this setting.
Overall performance is nor much better, and has also improved the wireless rates for all the other wifi units around the house.
Anyone here uses 5ghz band on their home wifi network? I currently use it but the signal is so bad. Say i'm 6-7 feet away from the router, i run wifi analyzer on my GN2 to check 5ghz signal strength, and it sits at -70 to -80 db. Now if I go to my room signal drops tremendously and then it disconnects from wifi.
I initially thought maybe my router, which is a netgear WDNR4000, has issues. But after comparing the signal strength my laptop gets, i determined my router is perfectly fine. I ran inSSIDer to check signal strength on wifi.
Anyway, if you happen to be using 5ghz band, can you let me know how good/bad your signal is? If it's bad, what did you do to improve it?
I have 5ghz and 2.5ghz support on my wireless router. on my pc at home i always get 100% signal on the 2.5ghz, whereas I get around 75%-80% on 5ghz channel.
i believe that the 5ghz signal degrades more rapidly with distance, it's nothing really to do with the phone.
So based from what you are saying, this is normal for 5ghz signal? I guess my laptop uses more power or has better wifi card which is why it has stronger 5ghz signal.

I'm inclined to agree with this all my devices with 5ghz see this drop off quicker than 2.5ghz

It's a known fact the 5ghz does have better speeds but lacks distance and penetration compared to 2.5ghz.

Your laptop has a larger antenna in it.

I've had the phone for about 10 days and I've consistently noticed that my G3 has a much weaker wifi signal than other phones, both at work and at home. At my house about 5 feet away from the router it was registering 1 bar on the 5Ghz network and about 2 or 3 bars on the 2.4 Ghz. Being that close to the router it should be full! The 5Ghz also has problems staying connected. At work where I used to have full bars with my GS4 and other phones and now I only get 1 or 2. While I haven't had the same problem as others with wifi dropping, it is rather annoying that the signal is so much weaker and I have noticed that with the reduced signal strength my connections are slower. I really hope its a software issue and not hardware related. I'm seriously thinking about going to T-Mobile and asking them to look into it.
The wifi my zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) does not work well when the frequency of 2.4GHz
Everything is good, the wifi signal is strong and stable when I change the frequency to 5GHz
But when I leave in the 2.4GHZ frequency of the signal it is estremamente weak and begins to fall, disconnect, because the signal was weak.
What might be happening?
This phone has so many issues, but this is a new one. sometimes other things running at 2.4GHZ can interfere with the signal. If I were you, i'd just stay with the 5GHZ because it's better anyway.
5GHz is better agree, but not every place has this frequency.
I wish I could use 2.4GHZ when necessary.
Any suggestions how to solve this problem?
Are these antennas?
Use this app and see if there is interference from another wifi or device. I was having this problem at work connecting to a router that was on the same channel as the wifi that bridges the buildings, changed the channel and now it connects much faster.

My WiFi signal strength for 5Ghz keeps fluctuating and is really weak, but 2.4Ghz has no issues.. My other phone has better signal strength!
Does anyone have a work around for this? I have tried arters and elementx kernel and issue still persist on both..
