Toshiba NB520 - very low WiFi signal strength

Hello

My new netbook Toshiba NB502 has a signal strength wireless very low compared to the other two netbooks used in my house.
I tried to play with the Device Manager but can't see any obvious way to improve the signal.

Any advice?

Hello

Go to Win 7 power management settings and disable for the WLan to save energy.

  • 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

    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).

    (9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.

  • 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.

  • Motorcycle G Dual Sim KitKat 4.4.4 (low WIFI signals)

    Hello

    Got the Kitkat 4.4.4 update 3 days back. After updating the device is delay and then more slowly before. And the main question for me atleast is the WIFI signals which are now LOW and SIM network loss.

    anyway to get around this? I read on another forum that wiping cache WOULD solve that problem. But I don't want to ROOT my device.

    Should I root?

    You don't need to root your device to clean the cache.

  • 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?

  • Pavilion 15 bj000nh: very low wifi on the brand-new Pavilion 15 bj000nh

    Hello everyone, I have a problem with my new laptop purchased 15-bj000nh HP Pavilion, a few days ago.
    The wi - fi connection is too low, that if I keep the PC one meter away from router I get only 3-4 bars of 5 in the connection properties and if I go to 10 meters and a pair of rooms up to now I get 1 to 2 bars of 5 and frequent disconnections. Also the speed breaks I see, and close to the router is too not at the maximum.
    Otherwise, my old laptop HP 6735 s with Windows 7, never had problems in the same position (10 m) and keep 3-4 bars no disconnections. I checked the resistance of the router wi - fi with mobile phone too (not), I tried all the solutions offered by HP support assistant on PC and on the HP support site also, but with no result... I have the card (802.11n) Broadcom software upgreaded. IT helped a little, but even with the latest software, my laptop has connectivity problems. I can't believe that a new NB may have a weak connection... I have some other ideas of a HW fault...
    Thanks for your help.

    No wireless card will work well with only a single antenna and a dual band (2.4 and 5 ghz) won't work at all on a single antenna... An aerial cable can be added, but it takes almost complete disassembly. I doubt that the Service would do. I wish that it is something that I could tell you. A usb wireless dongle is your best option. $ 15 on amazon.com and you will have good reception at the cost of losing access to the usb port.

  • 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.
