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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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!

  • Aironet 1200 series - power of the weak signal near AP

    I recently bought an access point of the Aironet 1200 (AIR-AP1231G-A-K9) series and the initial setup - IP configuration on the AP, the installer does a SSID and turn on the radio.

    I used my laptop to connect to the SSID that I created, but to my surprise the signal strength of my SSID was only 2 bars and sometimes 1 bar and I'm within 2 feet of the access point. However, the speed of connection/signal quality was varying between 24 Mbps and 36 Mbps.

    Why is the signal strength so low?

    Is is because I did not buy them with external antennas?

    I missed something during the initial Setup?

    Y at - it an option that I have change/fine adjust in the GUI to get the best signal strength?

    Help, please.

    "Is is because I did not buy them with external antennas?

    Yes, that's correct. There is no internal antennas on this model of AP.

    You need at least one, preferably two antennas of the same type for each radio. If you have the old 'A' radio with the paddle antenna, then you only need one or two antennas of radio 2.4 G.

    Good luck

  • Computer "is" more low-signal router instead of range extender

    I've seen a few similar posts; but nothing seems exactly like my problem; or I missed it.

    I have a router WRT54G and WRE54G range extender; seem to be working well and talk to each other.  (Took a while, but I got it; and it has been fine since.)   I connected to the signal stronger WRE fast when Internet and slow Internet when WRT connected to the lower signal (which is further) - just like one would expect.

    The problem: my computer (only place Office) will be unrelated to the stronger signal "Range Extender".  I'll work some time or leave and come back - and the link will be back signal Extender, fast router signal slow, lower.  I can click on my profile; Connect and sometimes come back on the most powerful signal.  (If not, try again and again until it crashes into the most powerful signal.)  [Even with "site survey" - I select Connect to the stronger signal, but it seems to connect randomly either.]

    - & - Another post, I think I could do something with the MAC addresses - for example, block my USB MAC of the router wireless receiver, so he 'only' to connect to the Extender.  (Better yet, I can say my network connection to connect only to the MAC of the extender?)

    Operating system is - 2000

    Here's something I put in place earlier - for the most part just repeats above:

    Equipment:

    LinkSys wireless router; WRT54G; 6 worm.  Firmware 1.00.7 (now 1.02.7)

    LinkSys Range Extenders;  WRE54G; Firmware Ver 3 3.01.01 (now 3.04.01.)

    USB LinkSys network adapter: WUSB54G Ver 4

    -WHY it keep coming back to the lowest signal from router?  (The big question).

    -Why, when I do a site survey, select the strongest signal and select Connect, enter the WEP code, he still occasionally connect back right at the lowest signal from router, even if I've highlighted the stronger signal Repeater when I hit the Connect button?

    -If I create profiles with the most powerful signal, it is always the same (that is, sometimes it connects the signal the most powerful signal "Extender" and sometimes the Repeater weaker signal, except that I do not need to enter the WEP code if I connect to the profile instead of the signal of view survey.)

    -According to information online, I found that the router must be on 'Firmware version 2.02.2' to be compatible WRE;   But - if I check for the latest version of the firmware for WRT54G version 6, it is 1.02.7 - does that mean the Extender is incompatible with my router?

    -Are there a way to "force" the wireless network connection to bind to a specific MAC address - so I can restrict to a stronger signal of the Extender?

    Scrooge, thanks for the suggestions.    Earlier, I tried the following solution, based on a similar condition a few - this on another post:

    Solution: Configure the router MAC filtering does not to allow connections to the MAC address of the wireless USB network card.

    Since I tried this a few days ago I was followed and it worked.  So, before he would keep switching to the smaller Repeater link.  In saying the Repeater from the heat to let the link not only the Extender to post a link and it is now to stay connected to the Extender and the speed remains constant.
