Help Does anyone else feel like the wifi receiver antenna isnt strong?

[facecook]

by that i mean that my router is in a room upstairs. im downstairs with my brother and hes playing with his ipad and iphone 3gs. im on the indulge. hes further away from the router than i am yet he has a stronger signal and mine is super unstable/spotty (connecting and disconnecting several times within maybe ten minutes.)

is there a soft way to increase the range on the phone?
also, is it just me?
if i get maybe ten feet closer, the wifi connection stays ok

Call customer support. Ask if you can talk with a tech department person. Or go up to the store you got the phone from. My phone seems to pick up my home wifi as good as any laptop. Could also be the brand router is not that compatable.

my wifi has been acting up lately. I used to love it, now im not even getting nearly as good speeds from it. same room as the router too. now i see the 1x showing up all the time even when im connected to wifi, that never happened before

Try doing a battery pull and also do a plug pull on your router.

The store or customer support won't be of much help.

TreeShaka was on the right track but rather than use your phone try inSSIDer | MetaGeek on your laptop. Find which channel has the least signal strength in the neighborhood and switch your router to that channel.
