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?

I have the same problem
It's the WiFi module inside the device related
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!
The module in the phone?

FIrstly I do know what you are talking about, and I suggest if you want help then don't be a smart ass.
This seems to be a problem until you sucessfully connect to any network, I had to fresh reboot my router before I could connect to it, did exactly as you explain, and exactly what others talk about in the threads. For me however, once I was able to finally establish a clean connection to any WIFI network from that point on it was fine, bad signal strength but didn't constantly switch, and then finally give you a message saying authenication required.
In addition to this, I followed the following guides/fixes and either of these two work. You need to ROOT your phone though.

When I've seen this occur, it is generally as the wifi isn't in range or barely in range, or I'm having an issue on my router. The wifi strength on an Xperia Z is pretty weak. I ended up buying a new wifi router for home it was so bad, and has been a lot better. But I did have this same behaviour when it was having trouble connecting.
When you are trying to connect, is the signal strength it is showing 4 bars, or is it low? Or varying a lot?
I'm next to the router and the signal is almost full !!
But it keep on saying obtaining IP address then it disappear
Although another devices are connected to the same router without any problems

Hard reset of what, the phone or router?
Hard reset for the phone cause other devices are connected to the router without any problems!!

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
Sent from my C5302 using xda premium
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
Sent from my C5303 using Tapatalk 4
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!
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

Hi guys,
I just changed my router with a linksys wrt120n and both my tablet and laptop are loving it but my xperia sp isn‘t! it randomly disconnects and then shows the "not in range" message for about a minute and then it reconnects. the phone is running the latest version of existenz rom and the router is operating with 20/40mhz bands at 2.4ghz and has wpa2 personal security enabled.
Can anyone help me solve this?
Thanks,
Noahvt

This sounds to me like it could depend on your kernel. Which one are you using?
I‘m using doomkernel atm

Try flashing your own stock kernel to see if that will change things. assuming you have a stock rom you should be able to open flash tool and go to flash the rom as you ordinary would but make sure you exclude everything and make sure you do NOT wipe anything. All you want to be flashing is the loader and kernel, just those two files and see if that will help.
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
