Is it possible to strengthen the WIFI signal on Z2?

Hello everyone. Z2's WIFI recieving is very bad. I mean the signal recieved by Z2 is very poor, I have to be very close to the router in order to get a good signal. When I get far from router - 4or5 meters - the signal becomes poor . I don't loose the signal but it becomes so poor. In comparison my wife had a samsung phone but the signal on her phone still strong. She even can access other WIFI signals using her phone, while I can't cause my phone doesen't even see the WIFI signals. Is there any method or any update to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

I think it's both software and hardware related. For hardware, some minor things can affect your WiFi signal. For example a case with magnetic closure, a working blutooth connection, and may be the internal WiFi antenna of Z2 is not as powerful as this on your wife's Samsung.

As for software, I noticed that my Z3 is having much better WiFi signals after Lollipop update.

Hi.

So there is no solution for this right now. There are many apps claiming to increase the ability to recieve WIFI signal. My question is : Is there realy an app to do such a thing? Or they are all LIES.

Thanks in advance.

@Prodigy1

I doubt an app could improve your WiFi signal but you can try this

download one of those apps > install an app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en > and post the results with and w/o the booster WiFi app.

Keep in mind on how much battery it will drain and also before you install any app, check the permissions it request.

I've tried the app WIFI analiser. It looks like nothing has changed . These are some screenshots.

As the screenshots show the app is for knowing which channel is better for the connection. Thank you so much uliwooly.
