WiFi antenna problem

Since about a week my two year hold iPhone 3GS has really bad WiFi reception. WiFi still works, but only if there is a very strong signal. The drop in reception is about only 10% of what is was. This dosnt't happen just in one network, but in a lot of different networks (home, work university etc.). Any idea what could have caused the problem and how can I fix it?

Try switching your wireless router channel. Kinda sounds like you may be getting some interference. Also try completely shutting down and restarting your iPhone. If that doesn't improve things, take it to your nearest Apple store and see if they can't do a little diagnostic for you to see if something is going bad on you.

First of all thank you for your help! As I said in my question, I tried connecting my iPhone 3GS to several different WiFi networks and on all networks the reception was really bad on my iPhone, where as my colleges had really good reception with there iPphones, so I guess it's a problem with my iPhone. I tried rebooting the device, but that didn't help. Guess I'll have to take it to the Apple store.
