Default How is the WiFi antenna on this thing?

Coming to this phone from the Droid X which just had a horrible antenna. My previous phone, the HTC Topaz, had a very large WiFi range but the Droid X was severely limited. I'm hoping this one has a better range and not the same wifi antenna as the Droid X.

Default Coming from Dell Streak

I am coming from a Dell Streak which had pretty good wireless signal... and this Atrix has been all thumbs up for me until about 10 minutes ago when I walked into a room in my house that has a pretty average WIFI signal and the atrix had 1 bar then none and would not connect back again until i walked out of the room..

Im hoping this was just a mistake or something Lol because none of my devices have ever had problems with WIFI signal in this particular room. Going to pay close attention to the signal from now on and post back

I cannot get it to recognize my Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi, either automatically or manually configured, yet it picks up my neighbors Verizon FiOS Wi-Fi just fine?!?!


EDIT: Scratch that.. Just a coincidence that after I look at my laptop and over to the Atrix, my WiFi router died. Talk about bad timing, LOL.

I'm having issues attaching it to my work unsecured wireless. Gets full signal, tries to connect, but then it says remembered, and then disabled.

Samsung Epic is connecting just fine.

It actually works just fine for me and the range is very good. Throughout my entire house upstairs and downstair and in the basement I get a signal. Kudos to Motorola so far.

The wifi antenna in my opinion isn't the best I've seen. But works everywhere I need it to in the house. Iphone 4 antenna was better, as I could bbq and play with the kiddos and be on wifi through out the yard. Atrix dosent keep signal around the bbq pit...

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4g XDA app.
