Default Unstable wifi

My u8800 has a pretty unstable wifi. It looses the conection several times during connection. This is particurlarly annoyng when using the phone as a powerpoint remote over wifi and the conection breaks. Is there a death-grip on it? Or is it a software bug?

I read about Blade Wifi Fix so installed today from market. I haven't been home much so not sure how it's going. It might be worth a look. Let us know if you try it.

Hello !
Well depending on what rom, if your using B133 which is possible. I recommend you upgrade to either B136 or B160 which doesn't do this.

I've updated to B136 and still have pretty awful wifi, disconnects all the time and doesn't reconnect despite my connection being remembered. Usually displays as 'disabled' when I check the settings.

I'm thinking of getting another handset it's so bad

I tried to setup 802.11n only for my wireless router at home. It's very stable and never breaks. I once setup 802.11g only, i experienced disconnection about twice an hour.

Yes, I'd been thinking that it might actually be more to do with my router as it's an old Netgear DG834v2. Will have a play this evening
