Any patch which improves Wifi Reception?

Hi guys,

Is there any patch which improves wifi reception on SGS2?

I m losing my poker hands due to disconnection.
My router is approximately 10 feet away from my room!
Wifi signal sucks after 5 feet from it!
Iphone's signal is full bar where else SGS2 flux from 0-1 bar

:(:(
 
I have found Wifi reception poor compared to some phones. Updating your firmware could improve it slightly but I think its a hardware issue.
 
hmm, mine's not great either.. but around 18-20 feet from my router, thru multiple walls i get 2 bars usually. and the speeds are alright.. i havent noticed firmware updates really doing much so yeah, i guess its a hardware issue
 
i have this as well, and if google, this is a known problem. It's the ONLY thing my previous
iPhone was better at. My iPhone followed approx. the same reception strength as my
laptop/netbook, but the S2 is weaker. There's areas in my house that i cannot get
WiFi reception ...argh. Hardware or software ? ...good question, hopefully software.
There's apps in the market that say help ie. "WiFi Fixer", i haven't tried any of these
yet. I was wondering if there's any sort of fix in 2.3.4 ?
 
I agree. The Wifi is very poor.

When I was at home with my old phone LG P500, I could pick up 5-6 Wifi access points around me. With this phone, only 1 or 2.
