Xperia SP WIFI range ISSUE

[ak_newlife]

Hi, i have just bought Sp 2 days back

I am facing wifi range problem the device does not catch the range where my other phone catches the range at good wifi signal strength.

the distance is like 3 to 5 meters less then my black berry

Is there any settings that i need to see for the wifi range.

I have the same wifi range issue on my new SP.

I have old Xperia Neo V and it has a full signal in the room where router is placed. But Xperia SP doesn't have a full signal in the same place like Neo V. Sometimes disconnect my SP from the WIFI.

I try to change the wifi router, but the situation is the same.

Is there any solution to solve this?

Thanks

You're not the only one , it even happen at outside free wifi spot . It always disconnects

The range is weaker compared to other phones, but I still get enough signal and speed for browsing and streaming videos. Same goes for mobile networks. Hopefully this can be solved with a software (baseband) update.

This problem is really starting to sound like an 'iPhone 4 Antenna' style problem. If it is a problem with the design of the phone, I wonder when (if ever), Sony will acknowledge the fault. My bet is that it is a design flaw, Sony is already aware of it, no software update will resolve it and it will probably just haunt the model till it is replaced. I base this on the fact that their only response so far is to blame the users other wireless hardware and then just sit quietly and watch.

Here too experienced signal loss (disconnected) when covering the corners.

Same situation on my phone. The phone is loosing the wifi signal - disconnect when I cover the corners. That's bad, really bad. I don't think it could be solved by firmware update.

I have the same issue.

2.4GHz Signal strength full right next to router but 5 meters away, through just 1 wall, weak signal strength, drop outs and fail to connect.

5Ghz 5 meters away no signal.

I have rebooted, restored, and updated both phone and router (TP Link - TL-WDR 4300) and no change. I have tried mutiple channels, no change.

Old HTC Legend + Samsung Galaxsy S2 + 2 laptops full strength in same possition.

I can not use my phone for what I need as it is faulty.

Can Sony solve the problem or should I return to the retailer for a refund?

Bought two Xperia SP's recently. One for my wife and other for me...
Both suffer from poor WIFI signal, mine more than hers...

If I had known about this problem would not have bought them....
