Hey guys. I've read a lot of WiFi issues here on the forums and net but have yet to find a solution. My phone has had its WiFi range slowly reduce over time to the point where I can't go 2 meters away from the router or else it would just drop out. The problem started happening a few months back where the signal got weaker and weaker as the days went on. I was not too sure what was going on and flashed Kit Kat on it but it did not solve the issue. Went back to Marshmallow and still happening. I've tried adding a WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini to "/system/etc/wifi" and "/system/etc/firmware/wlan" to no avail. I have also tried using legacy DHCP client in developer options. I had heard on a Sony forum that this might be hardware related and required a new motherboard. But I still don't know if it is the actual issue. If I can't find a software solution I was thinking that I can buy another Z3 Compact where the screen is broken but the actual mobo is still intact and working and replace it into my current phone.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
