Default [Q] Wifi signal?

Does anyone get a weak wifi signal with their Nexus S? Whenever I connect to my at home wifi I never get full bars and something I'll just randomly lose signal. Also it seems to go pretty slow. I used to have the Mytouch4G and it work flawlessly with the wifi. Anyone else having this problem?

Mine's been working fine over Wi-Fi. I'm pretty glad it does too, because my only data option with it is Wi-Fi..

Retired: Motorola Droid 1. You're old and broken now, but you served me well.
Side phone (no service): Nexus S running MIUI.
Main phone: Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. Great phone, hands down.
Tablet: 32GB White Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, big thanks to Android Central.

Rooting your Nexus S on Linux? This can help!

Wifi has been working great for me. It reconnects automatically and doesn't drop. The signal seems on par with my nexus one.

Speed wise, is it on par with the 3G network?

That's odd, I didn't have any issues with wifi as I connected to Android Market to downloaded ROM Manager during my rooting process earlier. Have you tried flashing a custom ROM on your device to see if it'll fix it?
