WAG320N very bad 5 GHz wireless signal.

Hi all

Because I live in an apartment building, I decided to buy a proper router on 5 GHz. I see each of them and at least 12 wireless networks 2.4 GHz (mainly BT HomeHubs or other boxes UK ISP wireless). I am studying the CCNA and our teachers recommend cisco routers (linksys) as the best. I bought a WAG320N as one that suits that I could find on the British market for a reasonable price. The problem is that I have less signal on 5 GHz on 2.4 GHz I have 50% maximum of the 5 GHz signal and speed is usually lower than 802.11 g, average below 64Mbps! I can't believe. When I change 2.4 GHz signal has up to 80% as my old router TP-Link. The speed is more often up to 65Mbps, means awful. I have seen a lot of topics on this particular router but I couldn't believe that to sell Cisco products these awful and unreliable as this router. I tried to change channels on 5 and 2.4 GHz but it's always the same, the wrong speed and weak signal. My wireless card is Intel WifiLink Advanced-n 6200 and Sabayon linux and Windows 7 operating systems. I have a laptop and it is CCA 6 meters between the router and there are 2 walls. The router is still under warranty so I will not hesitate to return to PCWorld...

Thanks for your help.

I solved it. I moved the router more near my room. There is only one door of the room between the router and my laptop. Signal has cca 90% and the speed is especially 270 or 300 Mbps.

  • WiFi connections: Laptop HP cannot find the 5 GHz wireless signal?

    Hello, this is my first post I just bought my first laptop and my first wireless router and have been setting them up.

    Laptop: HP touch laptop Pavilion 15 15-n088ca with windows (fully updated) 8.1

    Router: D-Link Dual Band AC1000-band 2.5 GHz & 5 GHz DIR - 810L

    I configured the router and worked out the kinks and updated the software.  My laptop detects and connects with the 2.5 GHz Band anywhere in the House.  My laptop does not even find or see the 5 GHz Band.  However my Galaxy Tablet concludes the two bands and can connect at once, thought the 5 GHz seems weaker.

    I noticed that my Galaxy tablet is much more WiFi networks that my laptop (that are in the houses around the street).

    I have need help troubleshooting and problem solving.  I think that my laptop would find the 5 Ghz band and be able to connect. So I hope that it is a software or driver problem and just a setting that needs to be adjusted.  Any help would be appreciated.  I don't know much about the WiFi drivers, but I'm a survivor of Vista, so I should be able to solve this problem.

    I don't know even what kind of program is running the WiFi software on my laptop? Or where to find it?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Welcome to the HP consumer's Support Forum.

    I'm sorry that I'll have to disappoint you on your first post, but according to the specifications of the product on the link below your laptop comes with a single wireless card band (2.4 GHz) with bluetooth.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03940371

    I can tell this by the description of the WLAN card.

    He is listed as a 1 x 1 802.11b/g/n WLAN.

    Whenever you see a closed wlan b/g/n card, it's a map of the only band (2.4 GHz).

    A dual-band card would be qualified bird a/b/g/n or a/g/n.

    When I look at the parts list for your laptop on the link below, the last listed item is the wireless card there.

    Atheros AR9485 wireless 802.11b/g/n 1 x 1 adapter

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=F0Q62UA

    Googling the specifications of the card, I found that will confirm what I wrote above.

    http://reviews.CNET.com/adapters-NICs/Atheros-ar9485-802-11/4507-3380_7-35558446.html

    So there is nothing wrong with the wireless card or router.

    Hello

    The weather could affect the signal strength. Radio transmission uses digital spread spectrum. Even if a small problem can spend because of lightning nearby, the packet will be retransmitted, you won't notice a difference. (Unless the lightning blew your 2.4 GHz wireless system telephone and microwave ovens are generating more effective disruption.

  • Wireless signal strength

    Hello.    OK my devices using im is a network adapter WUSB600N V2 with a router WRT320N wireless.    I'm under 50 ft away the router but im get the intensity of the "very weak" signal "low" at all times I changed the multiple settings changed bands 2.4 to 5 and even changed the settings I found that people claimed to be "optimal" updated the firmware for the router tried to update the drivers.

    There are about 10 total networks that I am able to locate because I live in an apartment complex and I get the best strength signal to some of them that I do on my own, which is confusing for me.    What can I do to change this becouse right now im pretty aggrivated down there and im ready to throw things out the window.

    Thank you.    Mike

    If you are able to locate your nearby networks with a good Signal strength, so I think you should check the settings of your router wireless. But if there is no inbetween walls the router and the computer in this case, you may lose the Signal wireless due to interference.

    As you have already updated the firmware on your router, the first thing you need to do is reset your router and reconfigure all the settings of your router from scratch.

    Here is the wireless settings that you can configure your router and it will improve the signal strength wireless on your computer.

    Connect to the router configuration page and click on the Wireless tab and change the display of the Configuration for Manual.Select 2.4 GHz Wireless Network.Assign a Unique network name and below to change the width of the channel at 20 MHz and channel 11 and that the broadcast of the SSID should be activate and click on save settings.

    Select the personal WPA Wireless Security Mode and enter your security key and click on save settings.

    Now you have to click the sub-tab slot below change the 'rate of emission N 15-130Mbps"and wireless"Advance Wireless Settings"and change the tag to 75 interval, change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 and click on save settings...

    Now let's see if you can locate your wireless network and try to connect...

    Pending a possitive response,

    Thank you

    Hey @arbab92 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you're looking for more information about the 5 GHz wireless connectivity computer laptop dv6.

    The adapter supplied with your laptop is not a dual band card and does not support the frequency of 5 GHz.

    Generally (RFI) Wireless interference can be solved by changing the channel on your router wireless. The default value for most router manufacturers is channel 6, which runs on 2,437 GHz. You can change the channel on your router to channel 1 wireless (2.412 GHz) or 11 (2,462 GHz) away from the bloated channel 6 if there are several wireless networks and devices in your area.

    If changing the channel is not an option, or does not resolve the problem, you can buy a wireless network for your laptop adapter. The only 5 GHz compatible card that is compatible with your laptop is the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230. The part number for this is 631956-001. You should be able to order it on the HP part Surfer Web site or third party like Amazon or eBay resellers.

    You can see how to install this map on page 67 of the HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service of Guide.

    I hope this is the information you're looking for.

  • EA 6200 wireless signal disappears momentarily and returns

    I have a 6200 EA (EA6200), new with a computer, an apple TV and 4 Iphones/Ipads, all within walking distance.

    My problem: every once in a while, the wireless signal disappears for a minute or two and then returns to normal.

    During the navigation of the user interface, I was unable to find out if there is an event log to show what is happening, so that I'm flying blind.

    Which never happened with my much more old linksys wireless adapter.

    Thank you!

    Hi elnuevohomero,

    This may be caused by interference. Ensure that the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks have different SSID. Try changing channels as well.
    You can try using 6,3,9 or 1. It is also recommended to place the router on a higher location, where it can broadcast wireless signal properly.

  • E4200 v2 wireless signal power is intermittent

    Just updated firmware for 2.1.39.144146

    the rule 2.4 GHz mode - mixed, WPA2, 20 mhz, Channel 6 channel width

    Online technical support said it could solve my problem, but my old e1000 had a stronger and more coherent (fluctuating) broadcast signal.

    My PC and the router are in the family room at the back of the House. The signal strength is Ok in the first room, but 2nd room in front of the House (30 feet and two walls away) it is 3 bars to nothing all the time. We have a guest who stay with us two days a week. There has never been a problem with the signal strength of the e1000 for recent years, but the v2 e4200 behaves like a piece of * beep *. I spent over 60 minutes with an online support person whose answer was to upgrade the firmware (which of course now removes a direct access to the router via the browser.)

  • Bad speed of wireless internet on EA4500

    Hello everyone. I have an ea4500 wireless router, I tested the speed at speedtest.net and wireless, I get around 9 Mbit/s. My speed is 23 MB/s when I hard wired the pc.

    I check the speed on a Tablet (), pc and a mac about 5 feet away from the router with no walls or something between the two devices.

    I checked all the settings, but I don't see anything wrong, I've changed to N mode just to make sure that I use the top speed.

    All my devices are able to use N.

    My experience on this is not good and that's why I ask your help, thanks a lot.

    Redefine the Mode Wireless on joint. 2.4 GHz settings, change the width of the channel to 20 MHz only and select a specific channel. Recommended channel would be 1, 6 or 11. Download inSSIDer to find out which channel is not too crowded. Follow the link provided by jlbjlb.

    Another thing that could affect the wireless connection is the location of the router. Make sure that it is on an open and superior location. Make sure it is not next to a metal object or other device which transmits/receives/frequency of the wireless signal. Also, make sure that it is not too close to your modem.

It happens even with my Google phone mytouch.

    Well, I think that in this case you have to modify some additional settings on your router. Follow the steps below and change the settings of your router.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER... Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...

    We have about forty points of access Cisco Aironet 1131AG spread over four floors and they all have a static IP (BVI1) on the same SSID, customers will be on its own virtual local area network (dhcp on 3750 switch) and they use several channels (1,6,11).  Cisco Wireless Control System is pending. This wireless network should support roaming for customers (there will be Wi - Fi tags of multiple AeroScout and wireless laptops). To measure the strength of the wireless signal and wireless coverage on each floor. My questions are:

    1. How to measure the strength of the wireless signal: we must meet at least three APs available with signal excellent (I guess for the WCS needs that will determine the position of the client in the building)? We thought to use NetStumbler and a few laptops with wifi and measure as many points as we can as simpler thing. Or should we use something like Cisco Aironet Client adapters for our mobile phone and then use Cisco Aironet Client Utility (is it worth buying for our analysis and measurement)? Any other idea?
    2. What signal level should we consider for a good wireless (dBm)?
    3. That we should propose for authentication, authorization and management accounting? What happens to the roaming wireless? I did not quiteunderstand WCS, WDS and WLC-that should be used for above tasks?

    Thanks in advance.

    "Use the command on the AP" sh dot11 associations "will give you the clients associated with success.  If you add the MAC address of the client at the end of the command, you will get detailed information.  Look under "Signal Strength" and "Signal to noise".  Under the strength of the Signal, you want a value of-75 dBm or lower (lower values the better).  -76 dBm and is bad.  Under Signal-noise, you want a value of 25 dBm or more (values higher the better).

    To measure the strength of the signal, I use Airmagnet, but you can use Netstumbler or Cisco Wireless Site Survey.
