WiFi signal is weak on razr maxx

When I connect to my home network using wifi, the signal is very weak, unless I am under 5 feet of my router. I use a router with valet with the software up to date. Other people in my House have other droid models and no problems with the signal strength. I tried all the other routers and I get the same result, so I know that's not just my router.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

    General suggestions for Wi - Fi problems, maybe one of them will help you...

    (1) perform a forced reboot: hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Leave the device to reboot.

    (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).

    (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.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

  • Weak WIFI signal

    Hi, am currently using an HP Pavilion 2307tx g6 but get really weak wifi signal in my room. Only able to get about 2-3 bars every time while my other laptop can go up to full bars.

    Any help/solution would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the HP Forum, Rascal.

    Discussion on the theme of the power of the Signal

    Buffaloes by themselves may be a little empty of meaning, UNLESS you can interpret the definition of what each 'bar' says.

    Signals are affected by the type of router you have - routers are NOT equal.

    • The cheapest router can not not the support required for the performance of your computer's wireless card.

    Example: An older router that only supports 802.11 g will not provide faster than 54Mbps - even if you have the best card you can buy in your computer.

    • The opposite can be true as well - a good router cannot provide a better service than the computer's wireless can support.

    Example: If the card in your computer is 802.11 g, so even if you have a router capable of speeds of more than 300 Mbps, you can get only 54 Mbps.

    Speed and autonomy are limited by the link in the chain.

    • 802.11n is faster than the 'g', but it can also be slowed by the walls, the furniture in metal and other obstructions.
    • Move your equipment, even a few inches, could make the difference to a router 802.11 g

    AND

    • The same might be true for a 802.11n router that has a small antenna (low power)
    • Antennas in routers are NOT equal.  Small antennas in routers fantasies can still match a whimpy router.  You want a router with a 5db antenna 7db (or better if they make these by the time you read this).

    Assuming you bought the biggest, baddest, best wireless available for your computer, then you may need to upgrade your router.

    Strength vs. Signal bars

    Bars can indicate how things are moving along, or they can cloud the issue - depends on the "bars": which generates the bars, the sensitivity are the bars and you can do a lot in a bar anyway?

    You can use another measure: the traction measured in percentages, detection and Signal type:

  • Satellite L50-B-1N8 - weak wifi signal

    Hello

    So two weeks ago, I bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1N8 of Argos.

    He never had too good a force wifi signal (bars never complete - even when sitting next to the wifi router) but I thought it was due to my wifi box and possibly the time of garbage that we had.

    However, I still have my old laptop, and when you check the WiFi side by side, my old portable Samsug picked up the signal full or almost full so this new Toshiba picked up a bar at a push.

    Since then, I took the laptop to my parents and he struggles to get the good WiFi, if no signal there too.

    It's super frustrating because it get wifi, it get just a very weak signal or nothing at all, and as soon as I move my laptop... literally a few centimetres, it will change the wifi signal or my wifi signal is cut and it will be impossible to connect.

    I did everything I can think of troubleshooting to actually factory reset my laptop that none has worked so far. The factory reset seems to have actually done worse, rather better!

    As I said, my router is not the problem here, I have my old laptop that connects very well, as well as two other laptops and mobile devices that all have connected to wifi very well and with full signal!

    I disabled all these wifi devices to see if this is the problem, but that did not help or the other. I also have a booster of wifi in the House, so all devices have full or almost full signal, but it seems of no use for this Toshiba.

    I lose my home, is there anything else I can do? I'm still in the warranty of 30 days of Argos if the laptop is down, but I just can't think of anything to try. I just hope that if the laptop is down Argos will help and either pay the phone or Exchange.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated. :)

    I think first of all you must check if the wireless performance question isn't related to energy saving settings.

    Go to the control panel? Windows power options.
    Choose the current power plan
    Now, you must click Advanced power settings.

    In Advanced Power settings you will find different options, search for LAN wireless (WiFi) and choose the Performance for both options (battery and power)
    After that, restart the device.

    I hope that this short change might help you.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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).

  • Airport express to extend my wifi signal

    I bought and set up the Airport express to extend a wifi signal in my house. I do not have an airport extreme as a base station - I thought I could use the express to extend the signal from my router/modem from verizon. Is this possible?

    Turned it "on" now, I don't see the express network as an option in my combo network - so assuming that it will seek to expand, what's the problem with it only shows not not in the drop-down list?

    The AirPort Express only wireless may extend over a network that is provided by another router from Apple.  As such, it cannot extend wireless signal router left 3rd.

    Another way of saying the same thing, it's that if you want to extend wireless network using a router from Apple, you will need two routers Apple.

    If you can connect the AirPort Express Terminal to your main router using a wired Ethernet cable connection, permanent, then the Express can be configured to provide additional coverage of wireless signal in this way.

  • What can I do to make my wifi signal is getting better?

    What can I do to make my better wifi signal?

    The distance is the problem more obvious - there is a certain optimal range that the wireless signal can travel. If the network is covering an area larger than the router is able to transmit, or if there is a lot of corners for everyone and walls to penetrate, performance will take a hit. Interference is also a big problem, especially for those living in densely populated areas. Signals from other wireless networks and electronics can impact speeds, that can the physical obstacles, such as walls.

    You can always look at your router administrator interface to see how many devices are connected. Or use a network Analyzer to see if you have unknown machines on your network. If it is a network that is open, close it. Configure security - preference WPA2, WEP is not as strong and put in a password that is difficult for others to guess.
