urdrwho Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 My wife bought me a ZTE Valet to replace my LG P506. I like everything on the phone EXCEPT the Wifi. I've been reading articles and apparently the ZTE Valet has Wifi problems. In places where I get full WiFi bars on the LG P506, the ZTE Valet gets 1 maybe two bars. At Starbucks where I sit outside the LG has no problem connecting to Wifi but the ZTE Valet can't even connect to the network. I am wondering - Is this phone defective, shoudl I return it Is this a software issue that can be fixed by ZTE This much I know, I use WiFi a lot on my phone and I can't use a phone that you must be 15 feet away from the router beacon for it to work. :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dave Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Now that might be annoying ! Try to increase the the power of the router ......... and if it will not work install cellstats fro google play and check the he signal strength you are reciving on your device and check it with some other device,....... otherwise go to the service centre and get it replaced !!!

dave61430 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I upgraded my Tracfone to the ZTE Valet. To tell the truth I didn't know it was an android, was attracted by triple minutes and 3mp camera and $50 price. Anyway, I really like it and. I'm 84 on the 14th, never too old to learn new things. I'm getting around 30 feet from my router, the router is strong. The WiFi works well in an area with public WiFi. I'll be going to a Starbucks in a supermarket in a couple of days, see how it does there. I get very few phone bars, but so do other folk with a Verizon network and higher priced phones but the phone works, I won't be doing extensive travel. I've manage to sort everything out so far except minor issues with google browser, I'll make a separate post on this. There is a power bar app on my model, I dragged it to home page for easy management of WiFi, Bluetooth and data connection. Device is supposed to and does appear to use WiFi when available, but to be sure I turn off the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
