Wireless Connection Drops Using ICS

So here's my Gripe/Issue/Question

Since day 1 of this phone been released in the UK I've had not a single problem

My bootloader is unlocked and I have been rooted on GB (Ginger Bread) for I'd say 2 months

and everything has been great,

Today I flashed the FTF file for ICS (For members who don't know what this is, It's the firmware ie: ICS etc)

Everything went perfect - and I also rooted it to get rid of the bloatware

So heres my problem - My wireless signal keeps dropping and or loosing connection

and no it's not my phone as I downgraded back to GB and it was working fine,

I've checked my router - flashed ICS without rooting it and the problem comes back,

So I can only surmise that the issue I have is with ICS - I've checked the broadcasting signal on both N G and B

from my router and I have the same issue,

So to the members who know more than me

Is this a known issue with ICS and is there some sort of fix in the way of an FTF or APK etc

Apart from that I had to downgrade my CoPilot version as it kept failing on start up - The older version works,

And thats basically it - No other issues to report

24 Hours later still not working and in 5 hours of the phone been idle for the purpose of a battery test I fully charged my phone left it idle and in those 5 hours it left me with 73% battery life where as the .75 and .76 Ginger Bread Firmware running the same test only used 6% leaving 94% life

So to Sony Thanks but no thanks for ICS I'm off to downgrade back to the tried and trsted GB

I didn't have the WiFi problem with this ics but your right about the battery, it was horrendous so I flashed back GB this morning and my battery is fine now.

I think that there are still some bugs in ics and maybe that's why no more si numbers have been released yet?
