Weaker WiFi with lastest FRF91?

[NexusX]

Anyone noticed weaker range for your nexus one with FRF91? I used to be able to pick up my Wifi router everytime I come to the drive way now I can't after the update. Does the new radio affect wifi too?

Are you holding the phone the same way?

Yeah, I have noticed that I have a harder time connecting to networks when I don't have a very strong signal (when I am not very close to the access point). Seems worse than before. And worse than my G1.

Its a small price to pay for the overall awesome update, but In my house I only get 3 bars. Up until 91 I could get the full 4 bars. Its definitely worse for me.

I've been with android since the g1, and every firmware update has been 3 steps forward and 1 step back. But hell that's still a net gain so I'm happy. Now if the next firmware update drops me to 2 bars right next to my router....

im with you on this one. My router is on the main floor and when im next to it i get the 2 and on occasion 3 bar symbol. Go upstairs and my bars drop to 1 bar firm! I did just come off of the 85b and nothing was different then either. Maybe its time for a new router. Im gonna buy an up to date router and see if its different. Is yours possibly old?

Well this is a universal problem, with my hosp wifi network as well as my home and my gf. So yeah... oh well, I am still happy but still boosting the Wifi range might be good.
