I am currently experiencing horribly low wifi reception. Sitting right next to the router the signal jumps from full to low randomly and it doesn't catch any wifi in spots where other devices do. What do I do? Same happened in 4.3 and 4.4.2.

I could be standing next to my wireless router and be getting 1 or 2 bars on my wireless signal. Does anyone else get poor wifi reception on their Wizard?
i.ve never really checked wifi signal strength wifi has always worked very well.
what rom are you using? it could be a bug in the rom if you have flashed a custom rom.
Rom issue?
I'm not sure if this has something to do with the rom, but try TNT's 19213 WM6.1. I've got no problems with finding and getting connected to our network. The reception is not great (when i compare it to my laptop) but it is works.
The approx. max. distance between my wizard and our router is 25 meter, on this distance I still can connect but its not verry stable. For a stable connection the approx. max distance is about 15 meter.
newbie owner of an Evo LTE, and i'm wondering if the phone has signal issues. my wifi signal strength seems to vary from 0 bars to 4 bars (typically staying around 1 bar). I remember reading a while back ago that these bars mean nothing for data speed. anyways, I've ran some tests on speedtest app, and my wifi speed has fluctuated from as low as 100kbps to over 10mbps at different times at roughly the same location.
The time when i have the most issues is during skype, dropped calls, etc. I sometimes use a bluetooth adapter and sometimes don't and have had issues regardless. so my question is does the phone have a weak wifi antenna or something?
No. Change your wifi settings to
"Always on" and set the frequency to 2.5ghz if you haven't already.

I noticed on my G3 that if I have only a bar or two of 1X or 3G, everything will stop loading. For example, earlier today I was loading up a large image using 3G, and it would stop loading whenever there was one bar of signal and would resume loading with two bars. I also noticed that websites would time out when I had one bar but with two they would load. It doesn't happen on LTE and seeing this on 1X could simply be because 1X is too slow to load anything, really. Anyone else experience this?
I haven't found myself in this situation yet with my g3, but my galaxy s3 displayed the same behavior. This isn't too surprising for a fringe connection, a classic trick to boost signal is to reduce bandwidth (everytime bandwidth is halved, signal increases by 3dB). If your connection is poor enough it stands to reason your bandwidth would drop to useless range.
Mine does the exact same thing. You may be in a poor coverage area.
I have to use an att mifi hotspot device to use data in certain locations , in Rolling Meadows illinois
It is either on full signal or at no signal never at intermediate state. Why?
My H850 regularly drops its phone signal then reconnects after a few minutes. When it's connected the signal is strong - 3-5 bars, so it doesn't seem to be simply hunting for a poor signal. Has anyone else had problems like this?
