• 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.

• 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.

• the wireless signal coverage signal strength is good, but the problem with the health channel network overlap more

  Hello everyone

  In our project after the implementation of the wireless project

  I had done the survey for heatmaps wireless post

  I had signal strength is good for what - 67dbm for 2.4 & 5 ghz

  but the problem that i am facing with bad network health and overlapping of channel are more

  controller to change the autotunning for the channel for a floor for 2.4 and 5 ghz and some APS change us 2 emission power

  for a floor that we tuned we receive good channel and network health overlap report for combined 2.4 and 5 ghz

  but for the single report 2.4 and 5 ghz, report overlap health network and channel are not good

  postsurvey tools that I use for ekahau

  When I use the ekahau tool each time tool message upgarded last skip version or version

  for postsuvey basically for the heatmaps approved as

  1 power the signal should be-67 or de-65 dbm

  Support in this regard will be highly appreciated.

  Wait a second.  I saw this card before floor!

  Are there two of you working on this issue?

• 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.

• BlackBerry Z10 Z10 and the carrier Signal strength

  I don't know if this is related to the question of appeals Z10 has dropped, but I noticed that my carrier signal strength jumps from full bars to (say) 2 shelves for the big X red for no reason my phone is just sitting there.

  This may be related, but I also calls recently, and my quality of phone (although normally I would say great) was virtually zero as if I had to drive into a tunnel (you know, that jerky digitized sound).  Actually, I was sitting in front of one of my rounds of carriers.

  I would appreciate ideas... I'm on OS 10.1.0.1720 official on Telus.

  I have the same problem on Rogers and my father done to MTS. We are in Manitoba. Very strange how it fluctuates constantly. Found in Toronto it was stable, and the LTE with Rogers.

• the wireless network icon is suddenly changed and I do not now see my signal strength

  the wireless network icon is suddenly changed and I do not now see my signal strength... What do I do to fix this... ?

  Hello

  Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

  I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

  Method 1:

  Wi - Fi and in Windows network connection issues.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/wired-and-wireless-network-connection-problems-in-Windows

  Method 2:

  You can also try temporarily disabling computer security software and check.

  Disable the antivirus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• 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:

• How to test the signal strength of an Airport Express, which extends a network?

  I am trying to understand how my Airport Express is actually help to expand my network, and if I should move somewhere different. Any help would be appreciated!

  Current situation: my base station is an AirPort Extreme in our apartment computer room; for the internet, which is plugged into the wall. The wifi network is extended in the living room via an AirPort Express (version 7.6.4). There are on the same cabinet as the AirPort Express to Apple TV. The Airport Express has an optical cable connecting to a sound bar (which has an additional HDMI connection to the TV).

  I don't really know if the AirPort Express Terminal, he does something useful. The network is set to be extended, best I can tell: Airport Extreme network Mode is "Create a wireless network", and network Mode of the AirPort Express is "extend a wireless network. But still, the wifi on my iPad and iPhone signal strength seem to fall much in the living room. Apple TV usually broadcasts music from my desktop computer (in the computer room) well enough, but if I try to play music from my computer via the Apple Express at the soundbar, the connection is terrible and fall. (Which could be a problem with wifi, or could be an aging Airport Express question, could be a cable problem or might be a sound bar problem...)

  An example of what worries me: if I go to the Airport utility on my iPhone and a glance at the Airport Extreme, it has 4 Wireless, including Apple TV clients. But if I look at the AirPort Express, there sometimes a client wireless (iPhone), but never shows the Apple TV: even if the Apple TV is about 30 cm of the Airport Express. It's as if the 30cm distant to the Airport Express connection is weaker than the connection of two-rooms-distant Airport Extreme, but I am probably wrong that.

  In any case, is there a way to test what speed is through the AirPort Express, compared to through the extreme? I tried to use applications like CloudCheck on my iOS devices, but those only measure the speed of my network, and it is unclear whether or not he uses the Extreme or Express.

  Thanks in advance and all apologies if I used (almost inevitably) 'Express' when I should have used "Extreme", or vice versa, somewhere at the top.

  One way to see the strength of the signal is the Alt (option) key while clicking on the WiFi icon in the menu bar.

  But you see not directly related to the airport of arrival. Also the Airport utility does not give much information.

  You can see a lot more with the free app (Appstore) called "WiFi Scanner".

  The problem could be that the place you have chosen for the Airport Express can be better: it should be somewhere in halfway (in force) between the Real and where you sit with the iPad/iPhone.

• WRT610N new firmware - capped at 150 Mbps with the excellent signal strength?

  I've just updated to firmware 1.00.02.10, had no problem to upgrade.  I have reset the router default settings after update (via the user interface, not via the button on the back) and even he restarted for good measure.  It is covering the same way I got it before the upgrade, but my 5 GHz channel set up to 150 Mbit/s for some reason any.  I am less than 5 feet between the router and am fluctuating between excellent and very good signal strength.

  Actually, the fact that it is even fluctuating force signal very good this distance is weird also, but I am especially interested in the 150 Mbps.

  Any thoughts?

  Do not take account of this issue, I knew that I should have tried this before posting here...

  I restarted my computer, and it is now pulling between 270 and 300 Mbps.

• Tecra A8-143 - can I pushed the signal strength?

  I have Intel Pro Set Wireless driver on my Toshiba Tecra A8-143 and signals I have recive in my neigborghoud is very week.

  It is possible to push the signal strength somehow? There is an amplifier of signal to the Bay, or something?

  Hello

  > and signals I have recive in my neigborghoud is very week.
  Laughing out loud
  Why do you want to receive the signal of your neighborhood?

  Unfortunately, you can boost the signal t. This is possible on the router directly and there is no improvement for the wireless network adapter.

• 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!

• 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?
