Wifi reception issues

---

Recently had to ruu to get my external speaker replaced and when I re-rooted and restored my rom (cm7) I can't seem to get a stable connection to a wifi router. I was standing 5 feet from router looking right at it and i was only showin 50% signal strength. I asked this question over in the cm7 thread but have yet to get an answer so I figured I would post the question here just in case anyone else has the same issues. I am wondering if there is a way to adjust minimum threshold for wifi to pick up the signal from the router. Or if there is a way to reset the wifi to get back my signal reception. I did notice last night at home that my signal would fluctuate if I blocked l.o.s. to the router with my laptop screen by about 30-40%. Don't know if that is even relevent but I am tying to provide all the information I have.

Have you dropped your router before? If so this can cause a great decrease in signal strength. If not read on.

Does your router have system settings for you to access by typing it's IP addrss in the address bar of your laptop's browser?

If so, reset all its settings to default (except for your routers password). This way we can eliminate one variable, the router.

Now let's get to work:

- Try flashing a different version of android (2.x) and/or a non-cyanogenmod rom

- Try tuning your tcp setting using adb shell and watch the wifi signal increase/decrease and take note of what new value you echo-ed increase/decreased the signal.

TCP Tuning Locations:

/proc/sys/net/

I ended getting the phone replaced. Found that the repair guys f'd up my wifi antenna. Last time I use that store. If anybody here lives in Everett, WA do not go to the repair shop located at 121 SE Everett mall way. They are shady as hell. They even broke the protective case I had on there, replaced it, and then took the broken case and put it back on the rack. Found it up there when I went back to find out about my broken wifi.

Wow....I'm really speechless about that repair shop. But I appreciate you warning everyone of that shady repair shop, that way this is the last time anyone reports problems with their phone after dealing with them.
