WiFi problems

My WiFi keeps dropping out and I'm not sure if this is a problem with the phone or my connection. My other devices don't seem to be affected. Any clues?

Please check http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/101699. Altough it is for the Arc it may still be relevant.

Anyway at the end of the post there is some talk of this app that may help

Hey Tried this.. what I've seen is, if you enter to advanced setting (right button) you can see that on those occasions when you get limited connection for me it shows a different IP address then the ones that my Router is sending out.

If my router is set to give out IP’s from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254 when my phone get limited connection it’s connected to ex. 192.254.252.1 or 169.254.15.205 but to my router (my SSID) I guess that that’s the problem the phone creates its own ip’s..
Right now my Arc S is actually working with the wifi but don’t now for how long. My Router should give out IP’s from 192.168.1.2 – 254 and I made an Address Reservation for my phone on 192.168.1.251 + with the Mac address.

On my Arc S I went in to advanced setting marked us static IP, ip address 192.168.1.251 Gateway 192.168.1.1 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and no DNS .
For the moment that is working but maybe that only for today.
