Default [Q] Bad WiFi connection. Any solution?

Hello everyone,

yesterday my new POV Mobii tegra arived. Everything works fine, except WiFi. Mostly i cannot connect to any WiFi network. If I get a connection, its very slow and often disconnects. I found other threads where people facing the same problem, but I didn't found a solution.
With my HTC Desire and other WiFi devices i do not have any range problems.
I tested different ROMs (corvus5, modaco r8, stock, buzz07 kernel) with various builds of the WiFi Driver (AR6k).
Has anyone a suggestion what I could do to get a better WiFi connection? Could this be a hardware defect?
Thank you!

Markus

I have this problem too. I have experimenting with different wireless routers. My operator provide me with a Thomson TG784 that has a weak signal. Now am using a Edimax BR-6504n. It is a bit better. But I am thinking of getting a Netgear WN2000RPT
Repeater. If anyone have a Netgear WN2000RPT please let me know if it is any good.

It would be interesting to know what people are using. So feel free to post the name of your wireless routers here!

If you have WiFi connection issues, it is worth checking that you have Bluetooth turned off. WiFi and Bluetooth seem to share the internal aerial and there are wquite a few posts about the two interfering with each other.

today i made more tests on signal quality. if my mobii says "50%", my router says 0% signal quality. if i'm on the same room as my router is, my mobii says 100% and my router says 13-18% signal quality. what the hell?!
