Engadget says Xperia SP has horrible WIFI signal strength - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does Xperia SP really have terrible WIFI strength?
If it does I am not sure I wanna buy it.

I don't have any probs with WiFi connection or connection being dropped...... think it was sorted when they updated from .211

From Xperia SP C5302 XPERIALISED

My signal is pretty shocking, I've had to move my router so I can get a signal through the whole house. No other devices had any such issue.

xperia sp certainly has some problem with wifi.
you can check at sony forum also

Mine is in .211 firmware.
It has WiFi issues. It automatically disconnects even if we are in range of WiFi, & does not connect again so I have to go to the WiFi settings again to connect it

My wifi range is about 3 meters less than my nexus 7, but it never disconnects

Awful Wifi. Even though I liked the phone, I returned it because of the horrible WiFi.

Mine is fine, just as good as my s and tablet z

Both sony phones i have owned had poor wi fi range, xperia sp is the same compared to my old one s and my nexus 7 but its not terrible i never get drop outs in my house, just signal strength is usually a bar less than my other devices.

Mine's fine, better than the Xperia U!

WiFi disconnection?

I'm suffering from WiFi disconnects
The ZR disconnects and reconnects every few minutes
The vendor stated that if the router (AP) does not support the 802.11n standard, the WiFi will disconnect
But, SHOULD it disconnect?
I have tested on several APs, if I use these devices as a WiFi host, the WiFi disconnects:
- Dlink DI-624S
- RUCKUS WIRELESS ( unknown model )
And these APs work with ZR smoothly without disconnects:
- HTC Incredible S
- Buffalo WHR-HP-G450
- Dlink DIR-632
Does anyone has the same problem?
Any information will be helpful
P.S. I'm running stock 4.2.2 on stock kernel

got the same problem as yours, but mine's only disconnecting when I'm using AirDroid and sending large files to my phone which do not happen when I'm just browsing the web. no Idea about it though

I am using many wifi connections, in my house which does not support 802.11n, in my work which we have several ap, in university, friends houses, I have used it twice in train stations and public places!
And no disconnections! and by that I mean absolutely no problem like yours! and I have C5502 like you (the non-LTE one!) so I'm not sure about that, but you might want to try define your router manually!
Same as the other guy, wifi works flawleslly on my c5502

It's quite annoying since it disconnects in public WiFi, such as my school, MRT stations' ...

Wi-Fi disconnects all the time! Is this a normal problem?

When i use my Wi-Fi regulary, 5 minute once it disconnects from my own internet.
Is this problem of Sony firmware, or should i check up my device?
How far are you from your router? How about other devices at the same range?

I am far about 4 meters my router. And this problem still happens even I next to router.
And there is no one in my house having this problem.
Have a check up for the device. Though i have read in the forums of other members with the z1 also having wifi troubles

[Q] Poor Wifi AP/Hotspot/Internet sharing..

Just bought a Z1 and I really love it, fast and smooth..
One thing is bugging me though.
The Wifi AP..
I share my internet when at work for my work phone (Sony ZR).
I've been doing this for a couple of months with both my Nokia Lumia 920 (WP 8.1) and Motorola Droid Razr (Both stock 4.1.2 and latest SlimKat)
without problem.. With both phones I have about 75-80% signal, but with the Z1 it hardly can connect..
Have been doing some speed test on the Z1 over LTE, it reaches about 50mbit. So far so god.
Standing next to the Z1 with the ZR I get like 45-50mbit.
With same condition (6-7 meters, through two drywalls) as with the Nokia or Motorola I hardly get 1mbit, and then the Wifi drops..
When connecting to my home Wifi with the Z1 it seems fine and the signal is good..
Is this really normal?
Cheers
98 views and not a single answer? :/
Isn't there anyone using there Z1 to share internet?
I share Internet a lot. I will test and reply tomorrow

Thanks mate
So, I shared my connection for few days. And it good.
First I turn off stamina (because stamina turn off 3G/4G network)
And second in wifi Hotspot you need go turn off power saver (if on, it will turn off wifi after 10min of inactivity)
Third stuff, some devices especially older one have problems connecting to WPA2 PSK, try without password and report.

Well, tried everything and still poor connection..
Time to DOA the Z1?
Would a hard reset help?
Did a hard reset, no improvement

WiFi connection speed.

I'm interested to find out what speed your Z connects to your WiFi routers and hotspots.
I thought the Z was capable of connecting to a wireless N router at 150mbs. My Z will only ever connect to any WiFi at a maximum of 75mbs.
I've messed with router settings, changed channels, updated firmware, the lot.
Today at work, one of our office ladies wanted her new phone putting onto our company WiFi. It turned out to be an Xperia SP. When I was checking her connection, I noticed her SP was connected at 150mbs, while my Z, on exactly the same network and access point, was connected at 72
Is there anything I can change on the phone to get a higher speed? Any suggestions?
