  • Wireless signal strength

    Hello.    OK my devices using im is a network adapter WUSB600N V2 with a router WRT320N wireless.    I'm under 50 ft away the router but im get the intensity of the "very weak" signal "low" at all times I changed the multiple settings changed bands 2.4 to 5 and even changed the settings I found that people claimed to be "optimal" updated the firmware for the router tried to update the drivers.

    There are about 10 total networks that I am able to locate because I live in an apartment complex and I get the best strength signal to some of them that I do on my own, which is confusing for me.    What can I do to change this becouse right now im pretty aggrivated down there and im ready to throw things out the window.

    Thank you.    Mike

    If you are able to locate your nearby networks with a good Signal strength, so I think you should check the settings of your router wireless. But if there is no inbetween walls the router and the computer in this case, you may lose the Signal wireless due to interference.

    As you have already updated the firmware on your router, the first thing you need to do is reset your router and reconfigure all the settings of your router from scratch.

    Here is the wireless settings that you can configure your router and it will improve the signal strength wireless on your computer.

    Connect to the router configuration page and click on the Wireless tab and change the display of the Configuration for Manual.Select 2.4 GHz Wireless Network.Assign a Unique network name and below to change the width of the channel at 20 MHz and channel 11 and that the broadcast of the SSID should be activate and click on save settings.

    Select the personal WPA Wireless Security Mode and enter your security key and click on save settings.

    Now you have to click the sub-tab slot below change the 'rate of emission N 15-130Mbps"and wireless"Advance Wireless Settings"and change the tag to 75 interval, change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 and click on save settings...

    Now let's see if you can locate your wireless network and try to connect...

  • How to test the signal strength of an Airport Express, which extends a network?

    I am trying to understand how my Airport Express is actually help to expand my network, and if I should move somewhere different. Any help would be appreciated!

    Current situation: my base station is an AirPort Extreme in our apartment computer room; for the internet, which is plugged into the wall. The wifi network is extended in the living room via an AirPort Express (version 7.6.4). There are on the same cabinet as the AirPort Express to Apple TV. The Airport Express has an optical cable connecting to a sound bar (which has an additional HDMI connection to the TV).

    I don't really know if the AirPort Express Terminal, he does something useful. The network is set to be extended, best I can tell: Airport Extreme network Mode is "Create a wireless network", and network Mode of the AirPort Express is "extend a wireless network. But still, the wifi on my iPad and iPhone signal strength seem to fall much in the living room. Apple TV usually broadcasts music from my desktop computer (in the computer room) well enough, but if I try to play music from my computer via the Apple Express at the soundbar, the connection is terrible and fall. (Which could be a problem with wifi, or could be an aging Airport Express question, could be a cable problem or might be a sound bar problem...)

    An example of what worries me: if I go to the Airport utility on my iPhone and a glance at the Airport Extreme, it has 4 Wireless, including Apple TV clients. But if I look at the AirPort Express, there sometimes a client wireless (iPhone), but never shows the Apple TV: even if the Apple TV is about 30 cm of the Airport Express. It's as if the 30cm distant to the Airport Express connection is weaker than the connection of two-rooms-distant Airport Extreme, but I am probably wrong that.

    In any case, is there a way to test what speed is through the AirPort Express, compared to through the extreme? I tried to use applications like CloudCheck on my iOS devices, but those only measure the speed of my network, and it is unclear whether or not he uses the Extreme or Express.

    Thanks in advance and all apologies if I used (almost inevitably) 'Express' when I should have used "Extreme", or vice versa, somewhere at the top.

    One way to see the strength of the signal is the Alt (option) key while clicking on the WiFi icon in the menu bar.

    But you see not directly related to the airport of arrival. Also the Airport utility does not give much information.

    You can see a lot more with the free app (Appstore) called "WiFi Scanner".

    The problem could be that the place you have chosen for the Airport Express can be better: it should be somewhere in halfway (in force) between the Real and where you sit with the iPad/iPhone.

  • Low House Wireless Signal strength

    I am now able to see my home wireless network, but unable to connect! I'm only on the 6% signal strength when I'm right next to him. I don't understand why the signal is so weak when I used this home network for 3 years with no aging. I'm sure that it is linked to all other issues I had with... I must not be implemented this correction properly... any suggestions?

    Title: Network network adapter Ethernet NIC wireless networking device

    I recently had my laptop repaired twice more as the screen flickered and faded, before this I had connection perfect for my wireless, but now I only have a single bar next to my wireless box, I was wondering is there a way to fix it other than to send it to be repaired? because people have not really done a lot of good work on fixing it it is also long and repair Centre is far enough from me. I know now that this isn't the box because another laptop worked on the same connection.

  • Low signal strength, high-end hardware

    My old adapter dead netgear recently. It has just stopped working. It worked fine until now, if a little slow, but he never gave me peaks of lag or sudden failures. I got a new Linksys adapter and went with the G because my old netgear adapter is a G. I noticed the signal strength is low, and when I played games online I was sometimes a hint of lag. I decided it might be time to update my router as well. So, I bought a N of Linksys wireless router. No change, still a power low signal and occasional spikes of lag. So I traded my linksys for Linksys Wireless-N router adapter. Higher speeds, but always a low signal strength. My router is down hard connected to a cable modem. That's about 30 feet of the card, with a couple of walls between the two. Should there be any reason why will not improve my signal strength, and I continue to experience spikes obstructive gal? I'd switch Netgear, because I never had this problem before trying to Linksys? Some advice, please.

    Not even a Word. Thanks for making my decision, Linksys.

  • 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.

  • Tecra M2 and wireless network - signal strength problem

    Need advice buying wireless kit.

    I have a DSL phone line connection and I am currently using a Speedtouch USB modem connected to my workstation down.

    I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra M2 with construction of wireless support. I want to be able to share the internet connection which comes in the workstation down. I guess that my options for the workstation are to use a DSL wireless modem to share the internet connection or to use a PCI card in my computer. I tried them both.

    I first tried to set up an infra mode network with the laptop using a LinksysWAG54G which was connected to the telephone line and a computer. But the problem with that I was t couldn't do accept the subnet mask that my ISP (Lixxus) provided 255.255.255.255 (PPoA). This modem has all the masks of SN in a dropdown list, but mine isn't in this list. I returned this modem.

    I tried then set up an adhoc network purchase buy a PCI Wireless card for my desktop, and internet connection sharing etc. on the workstation. However, while it worked, and I could see the desktop of my laptop, the problem has been the wireless range. The signal disappear when I wore the laptop in the back room on the first floor. It would have been a distance of 10 meters in a straight line between the laptop and desktop. There are walls two bricks and a floor between the two machines. It seemed hopeless, so I sent the PCI card.

    I'm not sure what to try next.

    Any suggestions that I could try next?

    I have the same situation at home. The best solution for this is to use the wireless router. Here you have the possibility to connect several computers desktop or laptop. In this case the configuration of wireless connection is very easy and it works fine. I also use it at home and in front of my house with no problems.
