WiFi Constantly Drops

[dp2239a]

Hi all,

I have a D1 running and an Airport Extreme and Express as my access points, and while I can connect to them, I often have trouble staying connected for extended periods of time, and often times it will take a long time for my network to show up. I live in an apartment building and can see networks from other people with regularity as soon as I turn the WiFi on, but mine usually takes a few minutes to find and connect. The Airports aren't running on N, and I just swapped out the the Extreme for a new one, and this happens with any rom I run. Any ideas?

Are you running any kind of encryption?

Yes, using WPA2 Personal

Try temporarily removing the encryption and see if that's the issue.

Tried it without encryption, no difference. It still kinda takes a while for it even to even show up, whereas my neighbors pop up right away. After a little bit, I'll take a look at my phone and see it dropped the connection.

I can't tell if I have a bad phone or if it's just not playing nicely with Airports.

Could be 2.4 ghz frequency overload. I live in nyc apt with 64 access points visible and had similar prob. Use wifi analyzer to find a better channel, or buy a top rated router with signal strength that blows away the neighbors. Droid 1 wifi kinda sucks, after 2 devices experience here. 3g is much more stable.
