• 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.

• 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.

• 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?

• P70 Pro SAT - signal strength dropped suddenly constantly

  I recently bought the Satellite P70 Pro (2 weeks ago). It has Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG adapter. During the first week, I was able to detect approximately 6 wireless LANs near my apartment and my own WLAN has always been the power of the signal full (I use a Belkin Wireless Access Point).

  I updated my Windows XP with updates of recommended security and after reboot, my laptop only barely detect my WLAN with very low signal strength at best, and I can't see all other WLANS that I used to work with the very good signal strength.

  I do not understand why this has happened - I tried tto updated drivers Intel cards with the latest version (9.0.3.9) and also to restore my system to the date I bought it (IE restore to basically its state before buying). None of these actions has changed the fact that he basically can't pick up my WLAN more unless I'm ontop of it.

  I think return the laptop and get the card replaced Intel because it seems defective.

  If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much
  Peter.

  Hello

  I've read many users with different laptops, but with the same WiFi card have similar problems. Unfortunately have no explanation. I know that you can use the Agere or Toshiba WLAN card.

  In my opinion, this card doesn't work properly with some access points or there is a problem with communication between them. I have the same card (Satellite M40) and WLAN Netgear access point. Since the first day, it works perfectly and without any update driver.

  If you have time here to edge wireless you can find a lot of interesting topics on the similar theme.

  Good luck!

• The WiFi function of the speed signal strength

  Several cities around the world to offer free WIFI services.  For example, Sunnyvale, California and Jerusalem (Israel), are two cities that are completely compatible WIFI.  WIFI also became ubiquitous regularly in several small towns and suburbs; but, alas, not yet in rural remote.  With the exception of safety and security, how the following services would compare (all things being equal) with each other in terms of web-surfing faster and more efficient?

  WIFI (Protocol N) with very good (four of the five green bars) resistance and quality of the Signal and 18 MB/s speed.
  WIFI (Protocol N) with good (three of the five green bars) quality & strength of the Signal and to 36 Mbps speed.
  WIFI (Protocol N) with fair (two of the five green bars) quality & strength of the Signal and 54 Mbps speed.
  Yet once, whose one of the three above strength & Signal quality and speed combinations would be the best for surfing the Internet and also watch videos on YouTube?  In general, which of the two is more important to speed or Signal strength/quality?
  Thank you very much
  Joe.

  The 36 Mbps would be the best and the fastest.  Low signal strength will cause too many retransmissions of data occur, so the effective speed would be reduced. The 36 Mbps with good signal strenght has speed and signal strength that few or no packets are lost so easily outperforming the 18 Mbps connection.

  Something in that you have no account is this interference from nearby devices or people walking past a table where your laptop is can sometimes slow down thigs.

• 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

• Why Windows 8 Pro becomes extremely low FPS on my high end Graphics Card compared to Windows 7 that had ZERO lag problem!

  Since I bought Windows 8 Pro for my Gaming Office all I have is having problems with the game, like Midtown Madness 2 allows to get as stable 60 fps but now on windows 8, I'll have 3 to 10 fps and GTA IV gets like 8-24 FPS on this graphics card high end and why Windows 8 Pro becomes extremely low FPS on my games compared to Windows 7 which had no problem who worked as its supposed to work. and it is a High Spec computer to run all games maxed out with all the problems of lag, but for some reason, there are problems of lag. I had uninstalled the graphics drivers in the control panel and start in SafeMode with Fusion driver to remove the remaining data from pilot and I reinstalled the last chart and without success, I always get problems.

  my processor is an AMD Phenom II X 6 1100t, graphics card: Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 7970, 16 GB DDR3 1333 Mhz Ram my computer cannot be low power!

  Actually my problem is solved now. what I did to disable Hyper-V in windows features. Windows 8 is now faster than windows 7 in games or even better.

• 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?

• Signal strength and range of the latest wifi routers

  I have a big house, with my router (BT home hub) in a wiring closet in a laundry room. The House is wired for ethernet and my current Wi - Fi, a Netgear WPN802, is placed at the best discreet place in the House. It is quite visible from everywhere in the House, the signal is quite low in some places.

  If I replace it with a common Netgear router, switched to AP mode, I see a significant improvement in the strength of signal and the beach? Smartphones, tablets and streaming music boxes (Sonos) are the usual wifi customers.

  In general, with one exception, hand-off is controlled by the device. On devices where the roaming aggressiveness can be adjusted, usually of the laptops and PC with Wi - Fi cards, it is sometimes possible to do hand-off low impact, but it is often neither transparent nor without interruption. I walk often so, personally, that this is not a matter of my house with my laptop streaming.

  However, smartphones often do not have adjustable settings of roaming aggressiveness, but it is precisely the devices with which we want to transfer transparent. My old iPhone 5 was terrible to homelessness at home and at work.

  If you install a second WAP in your House, don't expect transparent transfers. But, as I said, it's usually to the device.

  I talked to an exception almost, and perhaps two. One is that there is a connection Wi - Fi standard 802.11r called which rudder hand fast shipment. I don't think that any consumer connection Wi - Fi gear to implement. Two is that Ubiquiti Networks offers an exclusive feature called discount zero where several Ubiquiti APs can work together in the hand-off a device between them. I don't know which of their products offer this feature, but my guess is that they are not cheap. The disadvantage of this feature is that all points of access must use the same channel Wi - Fi (they do all access points appear as an access point). It is not so good, if you have many Wi - Fi devices and need a lot of bandwidth. It is a compromise between speed and reliability.

  I would recommend that you try one of the higher end Netgears with external antennas. If you are happy with your current router and only need an AP, consider the EX7000. It is marketed as a wireless extension, but it is also usable as a wired access point. It'll be cheaper than the R7000. But if you want to improve your router, then the R7000 is an excellent choice. I have one and it covers almost my entire House, 2 storeys.

• 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.

• 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.
