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 L50-B-1NM - weak WIFI signal

    Hello world

    Had this laptop for my daughter yesterday and he struggles to see wireless networks.

    I will only see the wireless network if it is right next to him, but even in this case the signal falls and then can't see anything. I tried two different wireless routers so cannot exclude that.

    I activated the WiFi on my iPhone 6 and related to that, and even with the phone, right next to the notebook, he struggled to stay connected wireless.

    So I've isolated the problem to be with the laptop itself and no question of infrastructure.

    Last night the BIOS to version 1.70. That did not help.

    I noticed there are drivers available on the Toshiba support section September wireless, so I downloaded these ready to install when I get home.

    If someone else has had this problem and did pilots resolve where the faulty laptop?

    Thanks in advance

    I put t think that the problem is related to your wireless card / driver.
    However, if you want you can get the latest version of the Intel page driver because the laptop was equipped with the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 map.

    It's module supports new card technology WLan (from 2013) supporting the 802.11ac + agn standards.
    I put t know what Wlan standard is supported by your WLan router but I recommend you to check the card advanced settings WLan (Device Manager-> card Wlan-> properties-> tab Advnaced) where you could choose the 802.11ac particular + agn Wlan standard.

    I also recommend different WLAN (1-11) channels as different channels supporting different frequency and this can affect performance.

  • 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:

  • Very weak WIFI signal on Satellite Pro L10

    Hello

    I have a Sat Pro L10 delivered without a mini pci wireless card so I bought and installed an and is equipped with an internal antenna behind the screen. When I'm in the same room as the router I have a brilliant connection but as soon as I leave the room I lose all together. The router is fine as the other people have no problem connecting to this. The card I bought made by Agere but is marked as Toshiba, I updated the driver to the most recent I could find which is June 2002.

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I'm tired of dragging this wire around with me.

    Hello

    I think that there is not much to do. I think that the environment has a strong influence on the Wlan signal reception. It of the same question as yours.
    My brother uses the WiFi network at home and the signal is strong enough if it is in the same room but in other parts, the signal is very weak. But at home it can receive WiFi signals without any problem. The signal is strong, also if it is in different rooms

    I think that the walls of the room are the reason for the weakness of the signal.

    But you can see the Wlan card properties in Device Manager. There you can change some settings in the Advanced tab. For example, to disable energy saving, etc.

    Hello

    I'm new to the forums of HP. I have a problem with my new HP Pavilion 15 p283tx notebook. I use Windows 10 pro 64 bit and affected by very low wifi signal. It shows me only a single connection with 2 maximum signal bars. I installed the latest drivers and tried every fix available on the web. Please someone help me.  

    Kind regards

    Thank you very much for your answer. But I solved this problem by updating my driver in Device Manager. Downloaded Device Manager driver automatically in the web, and then everything works fine. Thank you for your response. Sorry for the late response due to the busy schedule of studies.

  • 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.

  • Satellite L855 - 10 X - very weak WiFi signal

    I checked some help forums, but couldn't t find something useful. I came to the conclusion that IT IS NOT DRIVER or BIOS related. Sometimes, a Wi - Fi connection is ok, sometimes it s not.

    I pushed usually the strength of the signal much if I move my laptop in vertical position, but keeping the laptop at that position isn't very practical.

    Is there a magical way to fix?

    Did you notice this problem when you use your laptop with battery only?

    Recently, I put Ubuntu 13.10 and after putting on normally where I have my laptop about 5 metres, behind a wall, I used to get 5 bars on other versions of Ubuntu and when she Windows, but now it is sometimes about 5 bars, and then he falls suddenly to 2 or 1.

    It's really frustrating, and I'm really confused how this happened.

  • Portege M800-107 - weak WiFi signal

    You have a Portege M800 wireless problem? I have weak signal problem. This problem is specific or?

    Hello!

    To be honest, I think that you are off of the router if you have a weak signal.
    Have the latest driver WLAN and the BIOS?

    Check if the laptop and the router use the same WLAN standards and disable all security features in the router like encryption, the hidden SSID, MAC address filtering settings, firewall, etc.

    You have security software on your laptop? Disable it and test it again.

    Good bye

  • Satellite L50 - B has slow WiFi speed

    Hello

    I got this laptop last month but I'm really disappointed because it was a bloody slow wifi connection.

    I've already updated my wireless drivers, but nothing happens. The funny thing is I have an another old laptop, but it has a speed great wifi.

    I already try to do a speedtest of them both in the same place at the same time but my acer got 10-15mbps but my toshiba receives only 1-2 Mbps and it is very frustrating.

    I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter and I have read a few problems with this adapter. Please if someone who can help me with my problem.

    I'll sort to buy an external wifi adapter if necessary.

    Using some devices Bluetooth as part of this Satellite phone?
    Bluetooth is turned on? If so, turn the Bluetooth off and test the performance of the WiFi.

    I read in some discussions that the simultaneous use of WiFi and Bluetooth may affect the performance of the Wifi.
