Poor/little reliable Lenovo P500 wifi signal

• My dilemma - should keep the K1 despite the intensity of the weak wifi signal?

  So here's my story:

  I bought Lenovo K1 for many during the period of holiday Office Depot for $299. It was worn and really poor wifi signal strength. I wanted to Exchange, but Office Depot informed me that the K1 had been abandoned, so they gave me a refund. I was really sold on the K1 and thought maybe it was just my camera, so I ended up buying a new K1 on Amazon for about $350. I ran all the updates and I am now on the latest version of the software. Unfortunately, the new tab is range and low resistance. It is little matter where I am. I used it at home, in my office, at the in-laws, and the signal strength is low.

  Here's what I've done so far:

  -J' tried to leaving my router settings, based on the reading of the various recommendations of various forums-still no luck. (However, still would not help if I'm out and about.)

  -J' I download and run Wifi Analyzer, I normally vary between 65-75 dBm while standing within 8 to 20 feet from the router. (Comparable to my HTC Evo, but 15-20 dBM below my laptop at the same place).

  -J' used the speed Test from Ookla app - around 5 Mbps down to 2.5 (my colleague was getting up at the same place on his ipad around 20 Mbit/s down and 10Mbps).

  I'm at a crossroads now - I really, really like the K1 for most. It was a very good price, I really don't want to spend over $ 400 on a tablet. But since a lot of my use requires internet connection, is it worth keeping?

  Or should I just go back, put my money and wait for the Lenovo S1 Tablet out in June-July.

  Any comments would be much appreciated!

  For what it's worth, my K1 Gets the same results as my Nook Tablet - 12 down and 2-up on TW at home.

  Edit: got 18/2 this morning, same place. TW to blame for the lack of consistency.

• Weak WIFI signal

  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:

• I have a perfect wifi signal, so that's why my youtube so slow to buffer video?

  I have an excellent wifi signal.full bars.so my question is why youtube stops and departure for the buffering so at night.it takes 2 hours to watch a 1 hour video lol

  I use the wifi tether app on my htc evo. IM attached to my pc. This is whence my wifi. I probably just I need the signal booster.

  Perhaps, but I think you'll find that "mobile Internet" (vs a real WiFi connection) won't ever consistent or reliable enough for "streaming" videos or music on your computer downloads. Ditto for the Windows Update/automatic updates.

  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).

• Airport express to extend my wifi signal

  I bought and set up the Airport express to extend a wifi signal in my house. I do not have an airport extreme as a base station - I thought I could use the express to extend the signal from my router/modem from verizon. Is this possible?

  Turned it "on" now, I don't see the express network as an option in my combo network - so assuming that it will seek to expand, what's the problem with it only shows not not in the drop-down list?

  The AirPort Express only wireless may extend over a network that is provided by another router from Apple.  As such, it cannot extend wireless signal router left 3rd.

  Another way of saying the same thing, it's that if you want to extend wireless network using a router from Apple, you will need two routers Apple.

  If you can connect the AirPort Express Terminal to your main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent, then the Express can be configured to provide additional coverage of wireless signal in this way.

• What can I do to make my wifi signal is getting better?

  What can I do to make my better wifi signal?

  The distance is the problem more obvious - there is a certain optimal range that the wireless signal can travel. If the network is covering an area larger than the router is able to transmit, or if there is a lot of corners for everyone and walls to penetrate, performance will take a hit. Interference is also a big problem, especially for those living in densely populated areas. Signals from other wireless networks and electronics can impact speeds, that can the physical obstacles, such as walls.

  You can always look at your router administrator interface to see how many devices are connected. Or use a network Analyzer to see if you have unknown machines on your network. If it is a network that is open, close it. Configure security - preference WPA2, WEP is not as strong and put in a password that is difficult for others to guess.

• Satellite C850D-11 q keep loses the WIFI signal

  Toshiba Satellite C850D-11 q BT Hub 4 Realtek drivers

  I lose the wifi signal at least twice a day. Same message to loose / broken cable and reset the wireless card. Realtek has informed me that I have the latest drivers. The present is Realtek RTL 8188CE Wireless Lan 802.11n PCI-E NIC hub is new. With the help of BT, I now use the 5 GHz as the hub is on a shelf just below the laptop.

  I don't know what to do else and thought someone here can get an idea of what to do next apart from the change of servers!

  Thank you

  Hi @prashanthchintu,

  Welcome to the HP Forum! This is a great site to find tips, suggestions, information, and what has helped other people.

  I understand that you have problems with your Wi - Fi connection. Please try these steps in a post by @Grand-tree Deku.

  Here is a list of steps that solve common problems with wireless connectivity.

  First of all, we have a step by step guide to guide you through the process of diagnosis here:
  Troubleshooting your wireless network and Internet access

  A second option is to try the following steps:
  Powercycle the network:
  1. turn off your laptop.
  2. unplug the power to your router.
  3. disconnect the power to your modem.
  4. wait at least 45 seconds.
  5 reconnect the modem and wait for it to come back online.
  6 plug in the router and wait for it to come back online.
  7. turn on your laptop and test your connection.
  
  Turn off the power to the adapter:
  1. open Device Manager. (Win Key + R > type devmgmt.msc > OK)
  2. expand the network adapters.
  3. right click on the Ethernet adapter / wireless, and then click Properties.
  4. click on the power management tab.
  5 remove the check mark next to allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  6. click on OK.
  7 test cycle.
  
  Reset the TCP/IP settings on your PC:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" without the quotes and press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.
  
  It can also help to reset the winsock catalog:
  1. go to your start screen/menu and type CMD.
  2. right-click on the command prompt icon and select run as administrator.
  3. in the window that opens type "netsh winsock reset" without the quotes, and then press ENTER.
  4 restart your PC and test.
  
  Reinstall the NIC drivers:
  1. download the drivers from here , but do not run them again.
  2. go to your Start menu/screen and type Device Manager.
  3. expand network adapters.
  4. right click on the wireless adapter and choose uninstall.
  5 install the drivers downloaded in step 1.
  6. restart your PC and test.
  
  Test an ethernet connection:
  Explicit. Test if the problem persists on a wired connection to the adapter hardware troubleshooting wireless can be directed to the appropriate areas.
  
  Test another connection:
  Many people excluded their home network as a problem if another device working on the same network. Networking is not as simple as that. Each device interacts differently with your router or modem and it is impossible to exclude the settings for this device until the laptop has been tested on another network.
  
  If these steps do not resolve the problem, try this document published by Microsoft for network management issues: wired and wireless network problems. You can change the operating system with the drop-down list in the upper right of the document.

  Please let me know if this helped.

• Satellite L50-B-1N8 - weak wifi signal

  Hello

  So two weeks ago, I bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1N8 of Argos.

  He never had too good a force wifi signal (bars never complete - even when sitting next to the wifi router) but I thought it was due to my wifi box and possibly the time of garbage that we had.

  However, I still have my old laptop, and when you check the WiFi side by side, my old portable Samsug picked up the signal full or almost full so this new Toshiba picked up a bar at a push.

  Since then, I took the laptop to my parents and he struggles to get the good WiFi, if no signal there too.

  It's super frustrating because it get wifi, it get just a very weak signal or nothing at all, and as soon as I move my laptop... literally a few centimetres, it will change the wifi signal or my wifi signal is cut and it will be impossible to connect.

  I did everything I can think of troubleshooting to actually factory reset my laptop that none has worked so far. The factory reset seems to have actually done worse, rather better!

  As I said, my router is not the problem here, I have my old laptop that connects very well, as well as two other laptops and mobile devices that all have connected to wifi very well and with full signal!

  I disabled all these wifi devices to see if this is the problem, but that did not help or the other. I also have a booster of wifi in the House, so all devices have full or almost full signal, but it seems of no use for this Toshiba.

  I lose my home, is there anything else I can do? I'm still in the warranty of 30 days of Argos if the laptop is down, but I just can't think of anything to try. I just hope that if the laptop is down Argos will help and either pay the phone or Exchange.

  Any help or advice would be much appreciated. :)

  I think first of all you must check if the wireless performance question isn't related to energy saving settings.

  Go to the control panel? Windows power options.
  Choose the current power plan
  Now, you must click Advanced power settings.

  In Advanced Power settings you will find different options, search for LAN wireless (WiFi) and choose the Performance for both options (battery and power)
  After that, restart the device.

  I hope that this short change might help you.

• 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?

• Satellite C660 - extremely low WIFI signal strength

  I bought a brand new 2 the Satellite C660-7 t and have the following problem:
  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!

  Have you checked all the WLAN settings?
  Did you compare the settings on another laptop?

  If possible can test you with another router?
