Default dell streak 5 wifi range

I had nexus one which had a pretty good wifi range.. I could access my home network router from pretty far away.. now i am using Dell streak 5 within same home network and I have found that it's wifi range is a lot less than nexus one... why does it happen? any idea? Can we boost wifi range of dell streak 5?

Streak 5 has a wide wifi range especially with MIUI ROMs.
Flash a MIUI ROM and try again,you will see that it has a perfect wifi range.

To save younall some time.... there's pretty much nothing can be done about the Streaks short wifi range

I have tested stock roms and the other custom roms including cm7; all of the roms have the same wifi range at the same place; they can't find the wifi signal or they find weak signal but at the same place especially MIUI 2.2.17 and 2.3.16 find double strength wifi signal.

yeah it's your exp.

i want to know what exactly inside MIUI 2.2.17 and 2.3.16 that made the signal stronger? any mod or script maybe?
so there's a chance for me to use some tweak in mine
