Default Wifi issues?

Anyone else experiencing issues with wifi?

My reception in particular is quite low when comparing to other devices in the same area.

This is happening across different routers.

Any help appreciated

I have also some problem with the wifi.
If I am under 3 meter from my access point, there is no "problem". But if I am farest, my Note always disconnected. Every 3-5 seconds, the Note is doing a scan of the networks and cut the connection. With others phone I don't have the same problem. For example, it's impossible to listen to radios with wifi, download some stuff, there is always disconnection.

I saw that some other android phone had the same problem, is there a solution for the Note?

Thanks for your responses and sorry for my bad english.

Most of the Samsung made devices I have seen recently for Wifi are pretty much crap. Not sure why but most have weak wifi signals. The Galaxy S2,Nexus S and the new Samsung Note are pretty much all the same as far as Wifi signals are concerned.

So I'm not sure if this is related, but it sounds like it might be. My note can't see my 5ghz wireless N. Anyone experience anything like this?is

Probably the Note's antena is a 2.4 GHz one. 802.11n != 5 GHz only. I learned that the hard way with my home network.

Which is a real bummer. I didn't know Samsung's devices had crappy WiFi, as it's the primary means my mobile devices get online.

My 2.4Ghz notebook makes 150 mbps speed, why Galaxy Note cannot use 150mbps? Actually the maximum speed is 65mbps even near the AP. I can't use DLNA, because all the videos are glitch with this speed. Can anyone explain is it possible to increase the 802.11n WiFi speed?

I was pretty sure its supposed to be dual band. I thought id resd other people had used 5ghz. Anyone have any experience with this?


Also my reason for wanting to use the 5ghz band his nothing to do with bandwidth and everything to do with the horrible. 2.4 ghz congestion in my apartment. If I'm near my router it's fine, but in other rooms I get wildly fluctuating speeds on 2.4ghz congestion(regardless of the device used).
