Hello, I need some help.
My Note 2 N7100 works fine, but after 2 months of use it got very poor wifi signal.
It detects signal only two meters from wifi router, after 5 metes wifi signal is lost. I thought that problem is in antena so I tried another back cover (with wifi antena) but signal power was also very poor. I also tried to pull up antena connestors little bit on rear side of the phone, but also without result. I also tried to install another ROMs. Stock rom, custom rom, wipe, full format... wifi has still poor signal. Any ideas please?
Maybe it's an issue with wifi hardware.

when i turn the wifi on it saids turning wifi on then error so restart phone and still dont work i tryed a diffrent froyo and still dont work and tryd to reinstall it any idea on how to fix it thank you
What Kernel are you using, and did you apply the wifi patch if you're using 2.6.25 kernel.
If you're using 2.6.32, did you apply the androidupdate file associated with the kernel?
Need more information...

Buy a wireless router and stop stealing your neighbour's bandwitch
Jokes aside, how far away are you from the wifi router?
I usually get two bars when I'm close to my router and by close I mean from 5cm to 3 meters. I rarely get the full signal...it probably could be improved by kernel/modules but the downside would be shorter battery life.
There are numerous reasons why you only have 1 bar for wifi. It could be interference with other wifi routers in the area, using a crowded channel, bad antenna.
But I doubt it's the wifi on the phone, unless the antenna for it is damaged...
Experiment, try different channels on your router to see if you get a stronger signal, move the router around the room, and check the antennas as well.
Hope this helps.
its not my thing it worked fine on fianl dark i got all the bars i went to froyo because i dont get the close error anymore and froyo is faster and dont lag when do you thing they will fix thr problem
After searching for a solution for a while, I was not able to find one. Apparently I am not the only one with this problem.
I used to have signal in the entire street with this phone, and as long as I was inside the building, the signal was "excellent".
After an update came out, the Wi-Fi signal has dropped significantly.
Now I should be happy if it connects when only a few meters away from the Wireless-N router!
All other devices in this network, including an HTC Sensation, have no problems with the signal at all.
I have contacted HTC and they were "looking into this matter". But it has been a while since this problem appeared, and I am afraid there is not going to be any fix by them.
So I decided to root my phone yesterday, using this guide and I am currently using Android Revolution HD together with the RADIO provided in that thread.
Now it seems to have a slightly better signal, however there are no white bars shown on the Wi-Fi icon, while it states that the signal is "excellent" at the Wi-Fi search screen. The connection also still drops frequently.
I am definitely satisfied with the results, but I do need this Wi-Fi problem fixed.
Is anyone here familiar with this problem, and is there anything to be done about this?
This was a problem with Lees kernel. Good signal, just not being displayed correctly.
Turn WiFi off/on, and it should work.

That is the very first thing I tried and it did not help.
Did you wiped all data before flashing with the tool provided in ARHD-thread?
Yes, I did.

First Backup your current ROM. Try to find RIL matching your RADIO. it might help you
Have a look at this thread.

I am already using the RADIO provided in the Revolution thread.
Wondering if anyone else has this issue. My wifi is pretty weak on my EVO. i had strong connections before, and after, i rooted. But since i started running cm7 my wifi has become very weak. currently, my laptop has full bars, my friend has full bars on her intercept, but my EVO wifi shows only the dot in the wifi signal display is lit up.
Is this a known issue? and is there a fix? as i said, everything was fine when i was stock, unrooted and rooted.
running CM7.1.0, tiamat 4.0.8.
iv flashed several CM7 roms since rooting, all nightlies.
If this has been answered before i apologize. did a search for "wifi" and found no answers.
did u find a fix for this? i have the exact same problem
You may have low bars, as each device [phone] will register the connection strength, but as long as the data is there, nothing to complain about.
Try updating the radio. Somewhere on these forums there is a post with a combo zip that will update all of them all at the same time.

yeah, I had very poor wifi signal and 3g signal with cm7. Liked the look and feel of cm, but with poor wifi and signal strenght, along with gps not working and wifi tether unable to work, I went back to Fresh.
Hello together!
I have a problem with my Desire
I'm using CM7 since months without troubles.
But from one night to the other my wlan signal is extremly low, i have one bar of signal strength directly at the hotspot (no problems with other mobile phones or notebooks etc)
After that i tried many things:
newest radio, newest CM7, a new middle case ... without success.
The GPS signal is good ...
I think the Bluetooth signal is also not so good, but i don't have a reference here.
So i hope anybody can help me here!
Thanks pmneo
but does your wifi work ok , i mean are u able to surf on ur phone with wifi ??
or do u have to sit near the hotspot for that ?
i can surf about 3-5 meters around the hotspot.
Before i got that problem i was able to surf everywhere in the house ...
Do you also have the problem with other hotspots?
If not it's a hotspot issue (change wifi channel or something), if so I would advice to test it with a standard rom to be sure.
If it's still bad with the standard rom after that it's probably the hardware of your phone.
Try with another hotspot. If problem remains, do a backup and hard reset, or you can even try a new rom.
I tried the hotspot @ work -> same problem
I tried some other roms -> same problem
I think the antenna is the problem ... does anybody nows where the antenna is located?
Thanks pmneo
hi
i have issues with wifi. it has weak signal and disconnects often.
the question is, is there any kernel which worked on this?
now, i am using UHD rom with lupus kernel.
thanQ
I'm experiencing this too with my lt18... I got a bit more of range by changing my router's wireless signal from 11bgn mixed to 11b using its configurator.
i have no access to router. so i cant change it to 11b.
is it wrong to compare my phone's reception with my laptop? because my laptop gets a fair signal.
As far I know, you can't compare a laptop signal with a phone's one, my lap also has decent signal while my phone's already dead. I have no idea but something I just wouldn't recommend using those "boost wifi" apps which never worked for me.
I just installed radeon kernel and it seems to get better.
