Sony Xperia Z- Wi-Fi dropping or won’t connect

[LonelyLobster]

Really weak signal with wifi at the moment- anyone else having this problem?? How have you fixed it?

Some people have had trouble connecting to specific routers, but most people are finding that the signal drops frequently. In some cases the problem is exacerbated when Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are turned on at the same time. There’s also a possibility that the power-saving Stamina Mode is having an impact because it stops automatic syncing and cuts connections when you turn the display off.

Workarounds:

Make sure that Bluetooth is turned off.

Turn the Stamina Mode off. It should be off by default, but you can check in Settings > Power management > STAMINA mode.

 

Possible solutions:

Restart the router and the phone.

Double check that you have the right details and password.

Ensure that you have the latest firmware. For your Xperia Z this should come as an OTA update, but for your router you’ll need to check the manufacturer’s website or with your ISP.

Try changing the channel on your router and make sure that DHCP is on.

Turn MAC filter off on your router and/or add your phone’s MAC address.

Try Sony’s PC Companion. Install on your PC and go to Support Zone > Start > Phone Software Update > Start. If you already have the latest version choose Repair phone and follow the instructions.

 

Hope this helps!
