    Hi everyone
    I seem to be having trouble with wi fi on my Bold.
    I know my router is sending a powerful enough signal (5 bar reading on my lap top) but on my BBB it is more like 1 bar.

    This is causing my phone to drop wii fi and revert to 3g.

    Anyone got any thoughts regarding this?

    Thank you

    What kind of router do you have?

    I had a dlink, and after having tried everything to get it to work with my Bold, ended up getting a new Jensen router which worked perfectly..

    I have a Netgear basic spec router.
    Thing is, I had a netgear router previous to this one, of the same spec and it worked fine.
    But although the router now, is giving 4 bar strength on my laptop its only giving me 1 bar on my Bold.
    Strange, me thinks

    I'm using a cheap Linksys router and it works like a charm!

    are you using WPA2 encryption? the bold doesn't like WPA2. if you are, change it to WPA and try again. worked for me.

    i'm using a DD-WRT flashed linksys router.

    Really? I have WPA2 and a full solid white WiFi connection. No issues whatsoever.
