• 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...

• Unable to connect wireless; showing less signal strength

  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.

• EA6500 - different strengths of wireless signal

  I recently installed an EA6500.  My problem is that the signal strength wireless, at a point in the House, will change significantly from high to low to non-existent, then back again over a short period of time (e.g. 1 minute).  During this time the unit (for example, iPhone and iPad) is not moved at all.

  Real fast, how many networks wireless, microwave ovens, baby, nearby 2.4 Ghz and wireless phones around you instructors do you have?  You can use inSSIDer namely.,.

• Latitude C640 with 1470 mini pci wifi has very low signal strength

  I just installed 1470 broadcom mini pci card with the 4.10.40.0 (from decompression R115321.exe) on a Dell Latitude C640 driver version.

  The card sees the network and connects, but I must be withinn 5 feet from the router, and even in this case the signal is 'Very low' (an or maybe 2 bars). I can communicate with various other wireless cards on other laptops with the full signal strength during the major part of the House.

  Why the intensity of the signal would be so bad?

  Is the 1470 is not very sensitive? the driver is bad for my setup? is there an INCOMPATIBILITY between the 1470 and the DLink DI-524 router? Is this an indication that the antenna on my wifi card is damaged? (I got it on ebay)

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

• 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?

  Suggested hardware?

  Signal strength - could the problem be that the antenna in portable insufficient Tosh - it too small?

  Hello

  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.

• The low signal strength WET610N

  My WET610N is on a 5 GHz wireless network and is located about 30 feet from my router (Netgear C3700) with a line of direct sight.  The 5 GHz network uses channel 11 operation up to 145Mbs.  The WET610N shows a signal strength of 28%.  My laptop wireless, running "WiFi channel Scanner" is positioned near the WET610N and shows the signal strength 85% on the same 5 GHz network.

  A Speedtest.net test on the laptop computer watch ~ 60Mbs speeds on a connection from Time Warner ISP download 100Mbs.  The WET610N, running the same test of Speedtest.net shows only the 5Gbs of download speeds.

  The intensity of the signal would be the cause for the lower results of speedtest?  Wireless Setup is not that many configuration options.  Which parameters can affect the intensity of the WET610N signal?

  BTW, I tried the same tests on the network wireless 2.4 GHz, with similar results.

  OK, I just made a major discovery, but I'm still not sure on how to correct what I discovered.

  On a whim, I unplugged my desktop computer, which is a system 8.1 of Windows, the WET610N and plugged my laptop, which is still under Windows 7.  When I ran the test, Speedtest.net, my laptop registered 97Mbps download speeds!

  Thus, it seems that the WET610N works beautifully and it's something on my desktop does not work properly.  I recently upgraded to the Windows 7 Desktop to Windows 8.1, and I remember very well that the network provided quickly enough before the upgrade.  Maybe it's the network on Windows 8.1 driver.

  Anyway, I guess I should mark this issue as resolved, since this is obviously not a problem with the WET610N.  If anyone has any advice about network speed using Windows 8.1, your answer would be approciated.

• 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

  For more insulation, we manually will reflash the firmware of the device. You can do the following:

  • Download the firmware.
  • Manually reflash the firmware of the device.
  • Reset and reconfigure the router. Furthermore, once you reset the router, all settings and configurations that were previously recorded will be deleted. You can save the setting of your router before the firmware update. Here is the link for the process.

  Observe how it goes and let us know for updates. So again, you will encounter the same setback, please send us an email to [email protected] with the following details:

• 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.

• 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:

• The low signal strength with Ralink RT5390 on HP Dv6

  I have two other laptops HP which connect to my wireless router, both have a signal strength 3-4 bar using Intel 5100 and 5300 AGN wireless cards.

  My dv6-6145dx has a Ralink RT5390 and gets only 2-3 bars, but mostly just 2.  I use the laptop in the same place as the others and even tried to move get a signal louder, but nothing has worked.

  I googled and it seems that the RT5390 had some problems like this.  I'm now thinking that maybe I should buy a wireless card replacement.  Intel made half wireless pci-e cards, but I have no idea if they are supported. Should I get the Atheros?

  EDIT: for anyone suffering from slow response of Ralink RT5390 in their computer HP laptop, definitely try the latest pack of driver software from the HP Business Center.  I installed it on my computer and it has greatly improved responsiveness.  It is still not a great card, but at least I'm able to use it now without feeling like I'm on a dial-up connection!

  "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more opportunities."

  Hello:

  Have you tried the latest version of the Ralink driver (5.0.15.0 - March 26, 2013) for your current card?
