Dell Axim x51v - Wifi Strength question

Well... I finally received my Axim x51v.. and am really beginning to love it... so much to explore.. so much time

Question... I expected the Wifi reception to be much better than I am getting. When I am in the same room as the Access Point, I am registering a "poor" to "good" rating on signal strength...

I am so used to my laptop getting fabulous reception all around my house... am I expecting to much from the Axim?

Thanks in advance.

-Steven

Well.... I never tried it before... I really only had the updated ROM. I received my Axim, installed the new ROM, then started using it in WiFi mode...

So.. I can't really compare.

I have an X50v and it was one of the first. The wifi has always been a little weak. Much weaker than my laptop. I suspect it has something to do with power drain.

You might want to check your WLAN Utility, theres a setting for Power mode. Try to play the setting in it.
