Where and how can I increase the distance for my wireless network?

My router for my wireless network is in the family room.  I'm sitting in the living room and have only 2 bars at the moment.  Most of the time, I can't get a connection.  How can I increase the distance and how can I make sure?

Hello

What version of the Windows operating system is installed on your computer?

I suggest you to refer to the following Microsoft article and check if it helps.

    Where and how can I sign up for notification of updates from HP for my all-in-one printer? I think the HP web page is very confusing!

    Thank you

    At the same time a long time ago there was a way to register for notifications by e-mail of new updates, I have not seen this for years.  Many products have an application that can be selected when the drivers are installed to check and install updates regularly.

    I prefer to manually verify updates, for your printer, you can get updates from HP here.  I see there was a relatively recent firmware update it.

    Hello!

    You will need to use a full copy of Windows XP.  Should be a sticker with the product key on the side of your desk or below if it is a laptop.

    Once you have this drive, you can reinstall Windows XP.  After you have installed all the software and drivers, you will be able to transfer all your data to the new HARD drive.

    If you don't have a copy of Windows XP, you can probably get a copy of the recovery from the manufacturing of computer media.  Just to provide the model and serial number and they should sent it.

  • How can I get rid of the "improved" search and how can I stop the NAGs for updating other machines?

    This "improvement" can improve your 'bottom line', but nothing for ease of use. I have other personal computers that are now get the "update" NAGs... it would be nice if they had to stop.

    It's a different setting, you want browser.search.showOneOffButtons, that's a bit down the page of browser.search.hiddenOneOffs.

    Sorry, I meant do a right click. Make a right click option and select "toggle".

    Hello Nefertari,

    You try to view more characters in these areas?

    Each of these locations is plugable using custom plugin extensions.

    For example, you can go into extensions/config/CustomPluginExtensions file and add the following nodes under the node FormatPlugins.

    
    
    
    

    I think that the default values for the sites are set to 50 characters, so I had to be up to 100 characters (note NameMaxLength = parameter in the attribute FactoryURL 100).

    It will be applicable to all specifications, if you need something more specific, you will have to create your own class where you can check the type of technique.

    Make your own judgment in what concerns how enough will be the look on the screen after you increase the length to a large number, but you can always control the formatting in your own class.

  • I have an iPhone 6 and use Verizon as my server. How can I increase the number of rings until it goes to voicemail?

    I have an iPhone 6 and use Verizon as my server. How can I increase the number of rings until it go to voicemail?

    You can not. There is no adjustment to make on a phone. In fact, it is not based on the number of rings, it is a problem of synchronization based on the parameters of the call. You can contact Verizon to see if they can increase at that time here, but even if they can, it won't be much, only a few seconds if they do at all.

    I use to manage my DSL modem via an ip address. When I enter FF8 I wonder where to save the file. Why and how can I prevent the FF8 to do this?

    And now, whenever I'm in an ip address that I wonder if I want to download the file.

    This happens when the modem server does not send the file in text/html, but with a different MIME type.

    I tried adding index.html in the event that the server can send this file as text/html.

    If your DSL modem has a support Web site, then you can try asking it there advice on how to configure the server modem.
