[MK808] WiFi signal strength dropping after few minutes

[blackra1n]

hey,
i have this guy for a month now, and on the first day i recieved it i soldered to it 2 router antennas instead of the built in antennas.

when i power on the device, i get 3 bars of wifi signal, with 65 Mbps signal strength.

i can use the internet normally, but after a few minutes the internet is dead - although still showing 3 bars, the signal strength drops to 5 Mbps.

im using Finless 17c, with 2dark4u kernel 1.4.

what can i do ?

(btw, im sure i soldered the antennas as it should be, without shorts)

Its only with this Rom and this kernel? Or it is happening whith any Rom?
2Dark4u kernels are more power demanding cause oc.

Maybe this is Power Save issue on the Wifi. Let me look how to Disable it.

Try this goto:
Settings -> Wireless and network -> Wi-Fi settings -> (Menu) Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy -> Never.

THANKS! I was having major wifi issues with my Afunta version and this fixed it for me, was not easy to find as there is a menu icon on the top right when looking in the wifi settings. It is counter-intuitive setting as it says something like Keep Wifi On when sleep, so most would expect to set it to "Always"
