    Are you sure it was using the wifi and not the data connection?

    As a general rule, phones can't get the kind of wifi range that laptops do - the antennas are just too small.

    All I can suggest is that you check with a friend's phone in the same places and see if the wifi reception is any better or worse?

    Check is it Wifi G or N. Some of the lumia had problems connecting to older eircom routers.
