E4200 v2 wireless signal power is intermittent

Just updated firmware for 2.1.39.144146

have 5 GHz mode - mixed, WPA2, 40 mhz, channel 161 channel width

the rule 2.4 GHz mode - mixed, WPA2, 20 mhz, Channel 6 channel width

Online technical support said it could solve my problem, but my old e1000 had a stronger and more coherent (fluctuating) broadcast signal.

My PC and the router are in the family room at the back of the House. The signal strength is Ok in the first room, but 2nd room in front of the House (30 feet and two walls away) it is 3 bars to nothing all the time. We have a guest who stay with us two days a week. There has never been a problem with the signal strength of the e1000 for recent years, but the v2 e4200 behaves like a piece of * beep *. I spent over 60 minutes with an online support person whose answer was to upgrade the firmware (which of course now removes a direct access to the router via the browser.)

I hope that someone knows what I need to do to make this work, or it goes back to Amazon and I'll buy another brand of dual band N router.

Change the channel of your router to 1, 9 or 11 to optimize your wireless signal. Maybe this link can help http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21132/change-your-wi-fi-router-channel-to-optimize-your-wireless-sign....  If still the same, I think this device needs to be replace.

  • Weather a barrier on the power of the wireless signal?

    FREE WI - FI, RAIN & SNOW

    If a Protocol "N" dual-band WI - FI adapter which is connected directly to the USB port of a laptop computer inside the House and the router is in the garage about ten feet, should there be a weakening of the reception quality in the good House when it happens to be raining or snowing in the area of 10 feet between the garage and the House?  In other words, in addition to METAL interference or microwave OVENS or WIRELESS PHONES... not the weather elements possibly hinder these network connections?

    I thank very you much for any information.

    Hello

    The weather could affect the signal strength. Radio transmission uses digital spread spectrum. Even if a small problem can spend because of lightning nearby, the packet will be retransmitted, you won't notice a difference. (Unless the lightning blew your 2.4 GHz wireless system telephone and microwave ovens are generating more effective disruption.

    We have about forty points of access Cisco Aironet 1131AG spread over four floors and they all have a static IP (BVI1) on the same SSID, customers will be on its own virtual local area network (dhcp on 3750 switch) and they use several channels (1,6,11).  Cisco Wireless Control System is pending. This wireless network should support roaming for customers (there will be Wi - Fi tags of multiple AeroScout and wireless laptops). To measure the strength of the wireless signal and wireless coverage on each floor. My questions are:

    1. How to measure the strength of the wireless signal: we must meet at least three APs available with signal excellent (I guess for the WCS needs that will determine the position of the client in the building)? We thought to use NetStumbler and a few laptops with wifi and measure as many points as we can as simpler thing. Or should we use something like Cisco Aironet Client adapters for our mobile phone and then use Cisco Aironet Client Utility (is it worth buying for our analysis and measurement)? Any other idea?
    2. What signal level should we consider for a good wireless (dBm)?
    3. That we should propose for authentication, authorization and management accounting? What happens to the roaming wireless? I did not quiteunderstand WCS, WDS and WLC-that should be used for above tasks?

    Thanks in advance.

    "Use the command on the AP" sh dot11 associations "will give you the clients associated with success.  If you add the MAC address of the client at the end of the command, you will get detailed information.  Look under "Signal Strength" and "Signal to noise".  Under the strength of the Signal, you want a value of-75 dBm or lower (lower values the better).  -76 dBm and is bad.  Under Signal-noise, you want a value of 25 dBm or more (values higher the better).

    To measure the strength of the signal, I use Airmagnet, but you can use Netstumbler or Cisco Wireless Site Survey.

  • Satellite L750 - low wireless signal

    I have a 5 day old L750 Satellite which can collect only 40% wireless signal less than 20cm from the router and loses signal total of about 2 m of him, turned to Toshiba support who suggested to the restoration of the system, did this and no improvement. Have you checked the Atheros driver and he said to his place to date, also checked the option to which has been suggested in other threads.

    The router is good because my vintage Compaq and ipad2 have full strength signal of several rooms by far.

    Please help as I'm pretty impressed with my first purchase of Toshiba and will return it if I can't solve this problem.

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem only with the Eco Mode setting or also with power plan to high performance? This means that you must define * Maximum Performance * power option for the WLAN card in terms of power.

    Next to the update of the WLAN driver, you should also check the BIOS version. Take a look at the page if there is a newer version and if so try to update from Toshiba:

  • In more of microwave ovens and cordless phones... can TV, VCRs interfere with WIRELESS signals.

    WIFI & PHONES WIRELESS, ETC.

    In more of microwave ovens and cordless phones... can TV, VCRs interfere with WIRELESS signals.  I had to buy a cordless phone and it was always in the sealed box.  I was then with a laptop to the library branch when the librarian approached me and said that "even if unconnected cordless phones and microwave ovens, as well as TVS, VCRs and vacuums... can cause interference with the optimal speed of WIFI and efficiency... »

    Can someone explain if it is absolutely correct.  Of course, I politely responded that given that the laptop was still in its original packaging and seal (I had just bought and not even opened) and unplugged, it could not interfere with anything.
    Please specify.
    Thank you.
    Joe

    A non powered device (not plugged in, no batteries, etc.) cannot intervene in anything at all.  No power, no transmission, no interference. However, any electronic device can interfere to some extent with any other wireless signal, if it is running.

  • No 2nd router Wireless signal cascade

    I have a wrt160n my main router cascading to one e1200 to the other end of my house. The idea was to improve wireless signal here. Has passed through a long discussion with Cisco support settnig system upward.

    IP address of the e1200 occupies more than 5 outside main router, dhcp is disabled. Connection bewtween routers is Wan to Wan.

    I wired the e1200 but no signal wireless signal. Any ideas?

    You mentioned that there is a WAN - WAN connection. Is your E1200 a version 2 router? If the wireline work, the wireless should work as well. Were you able to configure the settings of you before Wireless 2 routers cascade? Did you use the same network names? If you have done so, turn off the WRT160N and leave the E1200 power and see if it is broadcasting. Otherwise, you will need to access the router's interface again and adjust the wireless channels.

  • E4200 and Wireless N and coexist with Wireless G

    Looking for suggestions for wireless G coexist with Wireless N on e4200.

    I have a wireless G Router for VERIZON FIOS ActionTec network.  I just added the E4200 router wireless n.  I have the latest firmware, 1.0.03.  Hardware version 1.

    We get a few laptops for vacation and would like these to be able to use Wireless-N.  I liked phone/itouch/roku device using the ActionTec router Wireless G/B.  I would keep the router ActionTec Wireless-G/b, so that 2.4 and 5.0 ghz Wireless N only.

    I have two routers configured so that ActionTec is primary with DHCP and the e4200 is secondary, the installer mode bridge, with DHCP off and static ip 192.168.1.2.   This used as an indication-> http://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios/3.0_Networking#12506

    I have a SID for the ActionTec Wireless G network and it is set to channel 1

    I have a different SID for e4200 N wireless network, even for 2.4 and 5.0 and I left the defaults on the other wireless settings.

    Are there any other suggestions for the settings for these routers/networks coexist?

    can't test the settings wireless n for another week.  and display the results.

    Update

    so for the ActionTec FIOS router main making wireless G and e4200 as secondary in bridge making Wireless N mode seems to work...

    so after a few changes that I currently use

    -on Actiontec, main router, the value G WIRELESS channel 1 and SID-> g

    -on e4200, secondary router, in bridged mode, value 2.4 GHZ WITHOUT WIRELESS N only, and channel 11 and 20 MHZ and SID-> WIRELESSN

    -on e4200, secondary router, in bridged mode, value 5 GHz WIRELESS N only and autodetect AND SID-> WIRLESSN5GHZ

    If all networks have different SIDS, do not roaming.

    -seems new hp windows 7 laptop computers work FINE with 2.4 GHZ Wireless N, variety and very fast, but do not yet work with 5 GHz (bought on Black Friday 2011)

    -seens old windows computer hp laptop xp works with 2.5 GHZ Wireless G, but doesn't seem to work properly with either 2.4 GHZ Wireless N or 5 GHZ Wireless-N

    -seems new hp windows 7 everything in working GRAND with 2.4 GHZ Wireless N, variety and very fast

    -seems to work bridge WES610N with 5 GHZ Wireless-N, even if only 48% signal, my Roku device works fine on the bridge, and connected laptop appears 20 000 low 4000 on FIOS

    so I think that the wireless card of the customer in the old hp laptop was screwing the rest of the Wireless N network and not several devices still use 5 GHz.

    I have a 2000 Notebook PC HP, Model # QE334UA, running Windows 7.  The wireless signal is showing all the bars at the bottom right, but I am unable connect wireless to what anyone (for example, any web browser, Outlook, Dropbox).  When you connect via a LAN, however, I have no problem.  Here are some details on what I tried:

    1.) this same problem occurs on all the networks I tried, even if the other computers are on these networks, is not a problem of router/modem.  Yet, I restarted those and nothing helped.

    Rebooted 2.) the computer.

    3.) done a system restore.

    4.) checked IPV4 settings make sure IP & DNS server addresses are configured to automatically get.

    5.) turned on and off the wireless on the keyboard button.

    6.) as gone with the Device Manager and press update driver software for all network adapters.

    7.) deactivated and reactivated all NICs.

    I have read many other forums - than where I got these ideas- and it seems a common problem, but I could not find an answer that works.  I'm not too technically savvy, so maybe I'm missing something, but any help would be LARGELY APPRECIATED, especially because my warranty just expired.

  • my printer will not get the wireless signal and so my laptop can not find print, what should I do?

    How can I make the printer get the wireless signal?

    1 Microsoft do not have printers - so it would not be my first option to ask in the forums to help MS.

    2. we have even less likely to help when you do not tell us what printer, what operating system, what router wi - fi or anything!

    I suggest that you follow the instructions in your printer manual, with operating instructions of your wi - fi router to work things out.  You should connect the printer via a cable to the wireless installation.

    If stuck try the support forums on the Web site of the manufacturer of the printer with the forums on the website of the manufacturer of the router.

    I recently moved and my for my PS3 wireless reception is terrible, so I was told I could use this other desktop computer, which receives the signal much better, as a relay instead of buy a wireless signal Repeater. How can I get this computer also spread the signal from the original router downstairs?

    I'm sorry, but there is nothing built into Windows XP that can do what you want.

    You might be able to do a search on the web and find a third party program to do this.

  • What's Dell Dimension 2400 desktop computer capable of capturing a wireless signal? Should this function be switched?

    Dell dimension 2400 desktop computer was plugged into the wireless router we have. We got a new computer and moved the old desktop (Dell 2400) in another room. It is not picking up, or even searching for a wireless signal. She still has this ability? How can we it give this ability?

    The Dimension 2400 is not normally a built-in wireless networking capability.  To view, go to the Control Panel > Classic view > System > hardware > Device Manager and double-click network adapters .

    If that doesn't show wireless network card, you can add it by buying a USB wireless network adapter or a Wireless PCI adapter card .
