Motorcycle G Dual Sim KitKat 4.4.4 (low WIFI signals)
Hello
Got the Kitkat 4.4.4 update 3 days back. After updating the device is delay and then more slowly before. And the main question for me atleast is the WIFI signals which are now LOW and SIM network loss.
anyway to get around this? I read on another forum that wiping cache WOULD solve that problem. But I don't want to ROOT my device.
Should I root?
You don't need to root your device to clean the cache.

The strength of the WIFI signal is very bad!If I am 5 meters from the router, there is a signal strength bar!
On another laptop, I have 5 bars at this distance!
WLAN is unusable...The problem also occurs if the power supply is connected, is no energy problem.
Installed the latest driver for Atheros, did not help.
Made a recovery of HARD drive, did not help.Help, please!

Hello
Can someone help me please on the wifi connectivity problem. Here it is that the wifi is connect to a network but display very less power of the signal as almost negligible.
So because of this internet speed also affects and disconnects very frequently (even if the wifi is very close to the laptop as just almost 2 or 3 steps).
What could be the problem here. Drivers or hardware?
Required drivers
Thank you

WRT1900ACS - low wifi signal strength
Finally, I returned my reboot constantly and lock WRT1900AC V1 and got a new WRT1900ACS in Exchange. (Thanks for the service of 2 year contract with bestbuy).
The intensity of the signal of the WRT1900AC V1 was regularly 3 to 6 DB louder than my Apple Airport. It's one of the things that I really liked on the V1 WRT1900AC... good coverage.
The WRT1900ACS is more stable, but the signal strength is very low compared to the Apple Airport.
Here are the results of a test... in both cases I measured the signal strenth with my MacBook Air with the routers placed in the same position and from the same location. I have reproduced this test of different areas of the House and in all cases, the airport was a signal much stronger.
This is the airport. RSSI is - 68 DBm, which is a very good signal.
Now, here's the WRT1900ACS. RSSI is - 80dBm which is an almost unusable signal.
So here are my questions to the experts of the group... would you say that this WRT1900ACS is defective and must be returned? Or y at - it something on the ACS firmware that has changed (I'm currently running with the last 1.0.0.172978 rev).
No amount of 4 on the WRT1900ACS antenna setting does make a difference.
Looking for some ideas to try before returning this unit to another Exchange.
Thank you

Poor/little reliable Lenovo P500 wifi signal
Recently, I bought my new Lenovo ideapad p500... and like most of the time. I dealt with some very unstable wireless connections with this machine. Another device, not more than 2 feet of distance and equidistant to the router, a full signal, yet my ideapad Lenovo P500 barely two bars.
I know low wifi signal is the problem for the other known models and I was wondering if this model has also been victim of this problem. I become very angry due to the interruption of the connection, resulting in work stoppage, while everyone has full signal.
Thank you!

After updating my iPhone 6 (9.3.4) the WiFi signal becomes very low! I did everything, but the problem does not stop! I don't a not update my other devices & their very good WiFi signals. Please help me solve this terrible problem...
Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.
(1) restart you device.
(2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.
(3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for 2.4 band.
(4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4
(5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.
(6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).
(7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.
(8) backup and restore the device using iTunes. Try to restore as New first and test it. If ok try to restore the backup (the backup may be corrupted).

(9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.

Satellite L775-15 q - low or no WiFi signal
Hello.
My brand-new Satellite L775-15 q seems to have a huge problem with the WiFi signal. I've studied him a lot and it seems that many new Toshiba models have this problem, which is rather disappointing.
The thing is the signal from the laptop is pretty awful, especially in my room.
To be honest, my room is the furthest way to the router.
But still, we have 3 other laptops in the House: a Toshiba 4 year, a Fujitsu 3 year and a brand new Dell; they all have a perfect, complete, 5-line signal in my room.
Even my horrible cell phone Ericcson has a fairly decent signal from 3 lines.The new L775-15 q has 1 or 2 lines or most of the time no signal at all.
Even at a distance of 4 meters from the router, it doesn't even have a signal lines full 3 or 4!The router firmware is up-to-date. I've updated the WLAN drivers and still nothing.
The power settings were already at the maximum.
If 3 more options in these forums do not work.Any ideas?
It's a laptop good and I would not return.Do you use a laptop with battery power or signal strength is too low no matter if you use it on battery or power supply?

HP Notebook: Wifi Signal very low after the operating system upgrade
I bought the HP Notebook of month couple back. Due to the corruption of the OS, I had to reinstall the OS. Now, I am faced with two or three weird thigs
1 WiFi signal reception is very low. Even if I'm sitting next to the router, I can only 1 or 2 bars on 5
2 AMD Radeon graphics card is not detected. How do I solve this?
Model: 15-ac076tx
Thank you
The answer could be linked to the reason that you had to reistall the OS, why did you have to reinstall the OS?
You can also try the following:
1. install the driver for both the wireless adapter and the graphics cards from the hp Recovery Manager and restart
(for Recovery Manager, and recover - hardware driver reinstallation - select Driver Manager research - install)
2. If the Recovery Manager reinstallation does not try to download the same drivers from the hp support site www.support.hp.com and install it and try it.
Hope this helps,

Signal low WiFi in the other room with Qosmio X 770
I have a Qosmio X 770 3D
Wifi signal problems.
Wired router 62 Mbps when wireless near large router close to 50 Mbit/s. If I go down and he falls down to between 5 and 15 Mbps and loses the signal entirely on covers.When I try my laptop cheaper in the same circumstances I get 45 Mbps down constantly. Even my wife Notepad Gets the best signal strength.
Channel selection makes no difference, except to make it worst when others use even.
My broadband provider has replaced the router, come home and guarded point out the strengths and wrote its my laptop problems.The wifi card can be improved for a stronger reception. Moving to the upper range won't work as my other gear use 2.4.
Any other suggestions please?
> When I try my laptop cheaper in the same circumstances I get 45 Mbps down constantly. Even my wife Notepad Gets the best signal strength.
Its no matter if the phone was cheap or expensive depend on the intensity of the signal on different topics.
Above all it s is WLan/chip built in Notepad.So in your case I recommend you to check if a different use WLAN standard like 802.11 B / G or N would make a difference.
I recommend also to check the energy saving settings map WLan.
In the case that the laptop is used on battery, the system can drops down the WLan performance in order to save the battery.
Also an update of the WLan driver can improve performance.However, as I wrote above: it s still a matter of smart WiFi

Hi, am currently using an HP Pavilion 2307tx g6 but get really weak wifi signal in my room. Only able to get about 2-3 bars every time while my other laptop can go up to full bars.
Any help/solution would be greatly appreciated!
Welcome to the HP Forum, Rascal.
Discussion on the theme of the power of the Signal
Buffaloes by themselves may be a little empty of meaning, UNLESS you can interpret the definition of what each 'bar' says.
Signals are affected by the type of router you have - routers are NOT equal.
- The cheapest router can not not the support required for the performance of your computer's wireless card.
Example: An older router that only supports 802.11 g will not provide faster than 54Mbps - even if you have the best card you can buy in your computer.
- The opposite can be true as well - a good router cannot provide a better service than the computer's wireless can support.
Example: If the card in your computer is 802.11 g, so even if you have a router capable of speeds of more than 300 Mbps, you can get only 54 Mbps.
Speed and autonomy are limited by the link in the chain.
- 802.11n is faster than the 'g', but it can also be slowed by the walls, the furniture in metal and other obstructions.
- Move your equipment, even a few inches, could make the difference to a router 802.11 g
AND
- The same might be true for a 802.11n router that has a small antenna (low power)
- Antennas in routers are NOT equal. Small antennas in routers fantasies can still match a whimpy router. You want a router with a 5db antenna 7db (or better if they make these by the time you read this).
Assuming you bought the biggest, baddest, best wireless available for your computer, then you may need to upgrade your router.
Strength vs. Signal bars
Bars can indicate how things are moving along, or they can cloud the issue - depends on the "bars": which generates the bars, the sensitivity are the bars and you can do a lot in a bar anyway?
You can use another measure: the traction measured in percentages, detection and Signal type:
