If you're talking about weak signal on some routers, browsers hanging etc. - unfortunately this problem hasn't been completely resolved with 434 update. I think we might need to contact Sony about it because it's very frustrating.
Hint: for now, try setting your router to 802.11G mode. It helped me a lot - seems like XZ is having problems with 802.11N or mixed N/G networks.
I am experiencing bad wifi reception,my router is Netgear N150.Its working fine with my macbook pro ,desktop, galaxy tab2 and ipad4.It was fine with my iphone 5 too.Xperia z is finding it difficult to connect to the same wifi network ,in the same situation.Also if mobile data is kept on occasional shifting between wifi and mobile network occurs.I feel that,wifi reception of xperia z is NOT good.

Hi,
I use only WiFi on mine, and not much problems.
I use the WiFi Alarm app so that if it does get disconnected, I'll beep really loud and alert me to solve it (Otherwise I might not get VOIP calls and not even know I am missing them!)
Like once or twice a day it disconnects for about 0.5 seconds and triggers the alarm, which is annoying, but no major problems. (It reconnects on its own, and it may be the router's fault).
Guys i bought my Xperia Z, days ago, well its awesome but am facing a problem for me its a major problem... my headset is not receiving a wifi signal and if received it disconnect directly especially when i be away from my router modem about 2 to 3 feets. so to get a wifi signal i must be near the modem if i go away it get lost.
even when i open wifi my old xperia sp finds more wifi modems than my xperia z
is there a solution for this and if any one is facing the same problem like me.
plzz help... my email is [email protected] if any has a detailed solution.:crying:
thanks

Try to flash another rom
Check carefully wifi setting for example wifi connect when screen off

If your on 4.2.2 stock try going into WiFi advanced settings and turning off WiFi optimization (all it does is save battery) might improve signal I will try it when I get home lol and will post update xD
Update: WiFi seems more stable at long range speed is a little faster for me aswell

I think it's a coomon issue. Z has a short wi-fi range comparing to other phones(
Hello guys,
do you also suffering from low WiFi reception like mentioned on the following sources:
Thread in Official Sony Forum
[...]but the real kicker on the SP is WiFi reception. Abominable, horrifying, atrocious -- all valid words to describe the range at which it'll stay connected. We assume Sony will be able to address this with some kind of future firmware tweak, unless the antennae were lifted from the back of a truck in Shenzhen in 2007. When connected, the signal remains solid, but at 20 feet away from a router with one wall in its path, it's incredible to see it just about maintain a connection.

Summary of Engadget Hands on
It would be great if you could do some comparison of signal strength between Xperia SP and another phone on the same location and post the signal strength of both. You can see signal strength with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer
Thank you!
For me the range isnt that important, it's the fact that the wifi suddenly turns off by itself and it wont reconnect even though I was standing beside the router. I had to forget my home wifi then reboot the phone to get it to work again. Sony really needs to work on their software

The range kind of sucks, but the speed is unaffected. Would be nice if it can be improved though. Never got disconnected before.

I faced same problem as javidben. There is no problem with wifi range. I get almost full signal 10 ft away with 2 walls in between.
The problem is random disconnections. When disconnected, the phone remains disconnected from wifi anywhere between 2 mins up to 15 mins, for no apparent reason. When I just visit Wifi settings, it re-connects to the wifi network immediately. Very irritating indeed, having to do this from time to time.
Also, sometimes when I checked on my wifi router, I saw two entries (having same MAC address) for my Xperia SP in the 'connected devices' section. I was thinking this might be a router problem, but my Note 2 connects fine to the same router without any of these issues.
I'm connecting to 802.11n and I haven't experienced any problems with range, disconnects or throughput on my XSP.

I have the exact same problem on my Defy+ running Android 2.3.7. I always thought this is an Android bug. So I think It comes from the power saving function (see Wi-Fi sleep policy) not working properly all the time and is not a device specific problem. Am I right?
On the other hand Sony has implementied its own power saving function (Stamina mode), so I expect this should not happen if Stamina mode is turned on.

I turned on Stamina mode, and tested over a period of 12 hours, using it intermittently, and disconnections are not happening any more
My Note2 is connected to Wifi all the time, but I did not see any disconnections, so looks like it may not be a generic Android problem.
I'll try this stamina mode and post here the result, also Xperiancing wifi dropp off,

I'm trying the stamina mode, too.
Let's hope that this will solve the problem.
But of course, it's wierd that stamina mode can make wifi more stable, because stamina mode auto turns off wifi when phone is in standby mode...

With Stamina or without stamina, the problem is the same. Disconnect every 5-6 min...

Probably your router firmware or settings, I used to have lots of problems with android devices having weird problems with wifi, bought a new router and they all started working fine

My SGSII and SGSIV have not any problem with the same router. Besides, whether or not I 'd buy a new router, I couldn't ask cafes and other access points change their router just because xperia sp has wifi issues...
I have absolutely no problem with signal strength or deconnection.
I'm using my phone on different routers (home, work, friends, ...), no problem at all.
Xperia SP C5303.
there was a little issue with the wifi network on .211 fw
but upgrading to .284 solved it. now i have full bars everywhere. :good:
For me, I am facing exactly the same problem as some of you. The range sucks, I am only 15 ft (5m) away from my router with a door, and I get 0-1 bars only
Secondly, the WiFi does switch off randomly, but when I go to the settings and check, it connects again.

dams SONY same probleem
my SP laggy and disconnected.
Seems like it's common problem then, I thought it was just me..
The Wi-fi seems to be really wonky on the SP, I've tested it sitting on the stairs beside my router for a while and it fluctuates between full and 2 bars of signal is less than a meter distance..
I've also experienced random disconnects but I think that's something to do with Wi-Fi power saving of some sort turning it off when it doesn't think you're using it.. Even if you're mid conversation with someone on whatever social media site or IM app...
Hopefully it can be fixed by Sony pushing a software update, which if it can I assume will be pushed with the next iteration of Android.

How did you upgrade the firmware? I checked my phone and it doesn't have any upgrade available.

Where can I find .284 fw?
In the sony website says .257 is the latest version for Xperia SP.
And this .284 is a original fw?
Thanks.
Hello
Does anybody has trouble with the wi-fi reception?
For example, at home, with other devices (old Nokia phone, ipod etc) i have full signal let's say when i'm standing near the router. With Xperia SP I have 2-3 lines at best
At work, in my office, with other devices i have 1-2 lines of signal at best. Xperia SP has 1 line at best and is constantly losing the signal.
Is this an hardware issue or a software issue? It is in general known that Xperia SP was problem with the wi-fi reception? I only read one review saying it would be an issue

Many Xperia SP owners face the same problem. I think, a firmware update would fix it but... We're waiting...
(Don't bother trying factory reset. Problem remains the same.)

Hi guys,
did anyone of you have this problem ?

i verified that the APN is correct for my telco... what is going on ?
i heard from other forums, T systems got this issue with the Z... coz they say the T system is half HSDPA and half LTE.. which either way not getting full signal....
anyone ?
nope. it's your telco
on my other phone... Xperia S..... exact same APN, exact same sim card.... i got MUCH FASTER speed.. even it's not H+.....

Im not sure if its going to help but mine was reaaly slow with telco provided apn.i just created a new apn with filling just name and apn fields with abcd and it worked fine and stil does..
EDIT: nvm...
i called up my telco... they say they are having periodically issue with the connection.... seriously wth..... they say my speed was throttling up and down....what a coincidence.... so.. at the moment i'll live with the problem until they solve it and i'll retry again...
BTW... the WIFI connection is much weaker compared to the Xperia S..... same side of the bed

not true, I can confirmed this phone's wifi is working much better than Xperia S (tested both with 300Mbps wifi ap), also Xperia S wifi is not world wide supported (EG. my country ) but this phone seems to have default support.
