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

    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?

  • 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.

  • Poor/little reliable Lenovo P500 wifi signal

    Recently, I bought my new Lenovo ideapad p500... and like most of the time. I dealt with some very unstable wireless connections with this machine. Another device, not more than 2 feet of distance and equidistant to the router, a full signal, yet my ideapad Lenovo P500 barely two bars.

    I know low wifi signal is the problem for the other known models and I was wondering if this model has also been victim of this problem. I become very angry due to the interruption of the connection, resulting in work stoppage, while everyone has full signal.

    Thank you!

  • HP Pavilion 23-q110na: HP Pavilion 23-q110na and the user manual wifi signal

    Hi, just bought the above and can only get 4 out of 5 bars on my wifi signal strength even though I'm barely 2-3 m away from my Virginmedia Superhub. I have run the Diagnostics network HP, updated drivers Intel Wireless AC-3160 (for a newer version that offers the HP site) and changed all the power plan for maximum performance for the wifi, nothing helps. Is a signal strength less than optimal usual for this PC? Anything else I can try?

    Also, can someone point me in the direction of a user manual? I have a wireless card Intel 7260 in the laptop that replaces this new PC and thought of it exchange for the 3160 in the Pavilion, but I would like a manual that showed how to go for the opening of the Pavilion to upgrades like this one - or the memory or disk, if I chose to down later on the line.

    Thank you

    Hello @brantome,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

    I came across your post about the WiFi problem and wanted to help!

    It is possible that whatever your settings, you can not reach maximum bars all the time.  You can try to review the following, to see if there is something you missed: HP PC - troubleshooting wireless network and Internet (Windows 10)

  • 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.

    Thank you.

  • Satellite L775-15 q - low or no WiFi signal

    Hello.

    My brand-new Satellite L775-15 q seems to have a huge problem with the WiFi signal. I've studied him a lot and it seems that many new Toshiba models have this problem, which is rather disappointing.

    The thing is the signal from the laptop is pretty awful, especially in my room.
    To be honest, my room is the furthest way to the router.
    But still, we have 3 other laptops in the House: a Toshiba 4 year, a Fujitsu 3 year and a brand new Dell; they all have a perfect, complete, 5-line signal in my room.
    Even my horrible cell phone Ericcson has a fairly decent signal from 3 lines.

    The new L775-15 q has 1 or 2 lines or most of the time no signal at all.
    Even at a distance of 4 meters from the router, it doesn't even have a signal lines full 3 or 4!

    The router firmware is up-to-date. I've updated the WLAN drivers and still nothing.
    The power settings were already at the maximum.
    If 3 more options in these forums do not work.

    Any ideas?
    It's a laptop good and I would not return.

    Do you use a laptop with battery power or signal strength is too low no matter if you use it on battery or power supply?

  • 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.
