Hello,
Seems that way back when I got my evo (last week), that there were a few complaints about Wi-Fi reception. I don't remember if there was a dedicated thread or not, but I can't find it now.
Anyway, I remember that the conclusion for many people was that the wifi indicator was simply misrepresenting the signal strength... i.e. even though it showed very poor signal, they were getting full signal.. etc.
This is NOT the case for me. If I am not very close to my router and have wifi turned on, then I'm constantly getting interrupted with 'network unavailable' messages. It's so bad that I pretty much just turn wifi off and use 3g. I have wifi devices all over the house and have never had a single problem getting signal. Netflix streaming over wifi in the basement? No problem. All of my work done on laptop in basement, back yard or upstairs.. no problem. Only this phone has a problem.
Everything else is great with the dang phone... even the battery life is pretty good. I haven't seen much discussion on the wifi issue lately. Any fixes or suggestions? Or is it maybe just my phone?
