Poor wifi with WAG160N

I bought a WAG160N in May and fought with him since then
due to poor wireless reception more than a few yards of the router. I have
use a Macbook 13 "and a Canon MP620 printer. The printer is 6 m of the
router with direct vision through an open door. In order to connect I
almost always turn the router off and then on again. The laptop is
usually in the same room as the printer and indicates the wifi reception is

very good or excellent. However if you sit between her and the router the

connection can be lost sometimes. I also use the laptop in our

Conservatory. It is true that it is about 10-12 m of the router and through a
wall of brick and block. The strange thing here is that if I wear the laptop
the Conservatory is connected to the router, it works perfectly well for
2-3 minutes but then loses the connection. It cannot then be reconnected.

I am demanding too much of this router or is it faulty which need to be
replaced?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Roger,

I would say that by what you describe, there are other wireless devices in the vicinity of the router which produce interference. In this case to change the frequency of the channel will produce the most visible improvement. If you want to test this theory, delete all your wireless devices (if all goes well there are not too many) and check the good operation of the router. If this solves the problem, I would say to experiment with the frequency of the channel eventually you will get a clear channel.

    Do not put a check in the box: remove the software driver for this device.

    Restart your computer and Windows will install your wireless network.

    If the problem persists, see if your computer manufacturer has an updated driver.

  • activate wifi with envy m6

    How can I activate Wifi with my laptop 1117TX m6 of jealousy?  A few days ago a technician of a mobile wireless service provider told me how to turn it off but now I have access to a Wifi connection and I can't remember how to put in operation.  I spent all day trying to find information on this at all and came to the conclusion that HP has easily the worst support scheme to simple questions from any company that I have ever met.  Can someone please help me because it makes me crazy with frustration?

    Hello D22.

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you don't know how to activate the wireless feature. By pressing F12 might do the trick. I would also try to connect an Ethernet cable to a router, if that doesn't help, just to be sure, that it can connect to a network.

    You can also find important information on this Microsoft Web site: why I can't find a wireless network?

    If you need additional assistance, please provide the following information:

    1. the operating system. If you need help to find this information, please visit this site in order to determine the Windows operating system.

    2. have you installed new software or drivers on this computer, before the problem appeared?

    In addition, if the question has recently arisen, I would make a system restore. I want that back you to as soon as possible to restore point. Here is a document on how to perform a system restore: System Restore

  • Slow WiFi with Broadcom 4322

    After upgrading my laptop HP DV7 with Windows 8, I found my wireless connection was extremely slow. My card is a Broadcom 4322AG. This seems to be the same problem as has been in the forum

  • Extremely poor bandwidth WiFi - with Windows only

    I have two laptops running Windows 7. One is mine and is about five years old. The other belongs to my employer and is less than one year.

    Both computers have problems of severe flow with Comcast Internet service and WiFi router in a House to sleep during the work week. My room is one floor above the router, and horizontally, almost on top of it. The windows of the signal strength meter reports four bars. Windows has no trouble to make and maintain a liaison, but the flow is so poor that a simple web page takes several minutes to load, when I can load one at all. With common modern sites such as yahoo.com and ebay.com, the server usually expires before I can load a page at all. I have similar problems with e-mail.

    I tried to use my laptop a few feet away from the router (in the living room of my landlady). Flow was not excellent, but it was good and consistent.

    Last night, I tried to use the same computer in the lobby, about 20 feet from the router and separated by two walls. I had five bars and a very low flow.

    No computer is having problems with the WiFi in my house (also using Comcast) or at my place of work.

    I have a Kindle that communicates slowly but surely my rented room. It reflects the strength of signal as "good" or "fair". Another tenant uses a Kindle in the room next to me and has no problem. My owner use a MacBook and have no problem. She also has an old Windows XP machine which is connected to the router and gets a very low flow.

    So, in summary, two on two Windows computers have severe with this router and only this router flow problems, regardless of the strength of the signal, unless they are literally sitting next to him. A third has problems of large flow with a wired connection. And non-windows devices three out of three have no this problem.

    What happens here? Windows is just particularly poor to cope with real-world WiFi? Or is there some sort of incompatibility between Windows and this particular router or network upstream? How can I identify the problem and how can I solve this problem?

    I am writing this wrap. I bought a TP - Link PA4020P Powerline adapter kit. I chose it because I think that I mentioned in a previous post: a product of brand with many not bad reviews that raised red flags when I read the comments and a rating average high. I also held a direct power connector.

    I connected two adapters to two shots in my room and you press the pairing button. The lights of the fool said that pairing has been successful. I moved a lounge where the modem hangs my landlady, and presto, Instant Internet. After all I've experienced in the last two months, it was rather disappointing.

    I would like to again I knew what was wrong, but since I solved the problem I can't complain too much! I recommend this to anyone in a similar situation, as long as they would be satisfied with a wired connection.

  • ProBook 470: ProBook 470 poor WiFi after upgrade to Windows 10

    Hi all

    There are so many issues report on WiFi on Windows 10 problems, but I'm not really mine.

    I'm running the ProBook HP 470 with WiFi Atheros 9000 series card. It worked fine with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    A couple of weeks, I decided to upgrade to Windows 10. Everything works fine, except the WiFi. I can connect to the WLAN and network speed and the signal strength is perfect, but after a while (minutes or even hours), he falls abruptly to the bottom and my router WLAN even States disconnected, but he'll fix itself after a while. I can force the "self-repair-speed" of disabling and enabling WiFi again.

    But, this is no good solution, WiFi has to work reliable all the time when not moving and it work perfectly with Windows 7. I was hoping that Microsoft and hardware vendors manage drivers after one year of version 10 of Windows, but seems not to be the case.

    I have already installed the latest driver for HP download site, but it is already a year old, and it was the same thing as Windows / Microsoft has done while Windows Upgrade. Therefore no change to be expected.

    Before that I go down again to Windows 7, what can I do? There are a few other pilots who could interfere with WLAN and might not be updated? (More of the WLAN driver I don't have other day manually because I count for the Windows upgrade process.)

    Volker

    The laptop is to date, according to the release of Windows 10.

    Anyway, it doesn't work well, that's why I decided to downgrade to Windows 7. Now it works again as it is supposed to.

  • Disconnection from the WiFi with Android 3.2.1 and AT200

    The problem is in Wifi (and update my tablet with ICS, I posted another topic). If I am far around 5 meters access point, I lost the connection: with other devices such as PC or Galaxy S2, signal is perfect!

    So no idea why my wifi connection is lost? Is this a problem of my Tablet?

  • HP Deskjet 3055 A does not connect to the WIFI with security

    I'm trying to configure a Deskjet 3055 A on my DD - WRT router.  I am a highly qualified network engineer, so I don't know 100% what I'm doing.

    First, DD - WRT supports WPS connection, because these are very precarious.  This means that my only way to connect the pritner to my home network is to connect to my PC and use the Setup utility (downloaded from your page drivers) I use the 28.8 version.

    My router supports the 2.4 and 5 GHz and I know the printer is only 2.4 GHz.  I disabled completely the 5 GHz network in order to connect the printer, even though it shouldn't have any effect.

    I restarted my router and reset the printers wireless network using its integrated control panel.

    In any case, after a shameful 2 hours troubleshooting, I did discover that the printer WILL NOT CONNECT to the WIFI network if any security is applied against it.  It works 100% fine with open security however, it is totally unacceptable.

    I tried both WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal, both with the same effect.

    For reasons to try, I added also the printer to my network WIFI open and tried to manually change the setting WIFI via webinterface of printers, however, whenever I try and access the wireless configuration wizard, I simply get an error message saying "Internal system error" - eventually I managed to work around this another bug that has been there for years (see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Internal-System-Error-prevents-access-t...

    After installing printers web interface WIFI, the problem is always the same and it does not connect.

    HP, we were in the order of 2500 of these printers for users of our remote site.  If you don't come to the top with a quick solution/bug fixed, consider the lost business!

    Concerning

    Ian

    After playing well, I managed to find a solution for this!

    For all users who are unable to find a solution by using the other methods, here's what to do.

    Change your local network to open the safe but note your WIFI settings for your default installation.

    Connect the printer to the open network the HP software (via USB cable)

    Go to the URL of the printer, but make sure that you connect through HTTPS - if you get an internal system error, keep refreshing until it works (WHAT A JOKE!)

    Click on 'Network', then click 'Advanced' on the left.

    Enter the network settings as they need to be secured.

    Downstairs, check "in an infrastructure network, use 802. 11b / g behavior (assuming that your assisted supports g, otherwise use the b only option), then click on apply.

    Turn on your wireless security, on your router and then the printer should connect!

    I am really confused as to why this is not automatically enabled, if the printer is not working with security on a Wireless N network wireless, then have this as the default!

    HP - feel free to thank me in this post!
