Wifi problem in atrix 2 is very well known . I know cwm9 dev is in progress. So is there a way to install to replace the stock module/drive with cwm9 driver.

Or any goddamm way to resolve this wifi problem.
I am really frustated . This is my second replacement and I don't feel like sending it back.

I have had my a2 for about 2 months and no wifi problems here. It connects quickly and stays connected.

Try changing your Wireless authentication and encryption to WPA2-PSK TKIP?

Not sure how "well known" this problem is. I have had my A2 since Nov 2011 and it has always connected to wifi without problem. Not disagreeing with you, just saying my experience with wifi is different.

I have solve the problem. What i did was just set the IP address for the Atrix 2 to static, instead of dynamic.
Hope this works for you guys.

This is what I did as well. Make sure and scroll down in the advanced wifi settings page to include the DNS and netmask numbers as well as gateway.

Gingerbread didn't always play nice with dhcp, hence the reason a static ip helps resolve the problem. Another solution you can try is to check the lease time for issued ip addresses. Some devices running gingerbread had issues with infinite leases, so the solution was to simply change the setting on your router to renew leases. As long as the lease isn't set to "forever" any other value will work. Just wanted to put that out there for those who have trouble with intermittent wifi.

i have made extensive RnD on my phone .. from lease times to assigning static ip's .. nothing works .. most people won't notice disconnection when using static ips because it does'nt disconnect so frequently . you will notice when you make a 20 min video call...

I am thinking of installing supercharged rom .. what do you guys think .. can it solve the problem .. or since it is another gingerbread the problem will persist. ?

Most likely the dns address will be the same as your default gateway. An easy way to check is open a cmd prompt on your pc and type "ipconfig" and you'll see the default gateway, dns server, and subnet mask for your connected adapter. Just use the same settings, but give your phone a unique ip address.
Example
Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
DNS Server - 192.168.1.1
IP Address - 192.168.1.101 < the last 3 octets need to be unique or else you'll have an ip conflict.
