Huawei B660 3G - Can 3G Signal Strength Weaken With More Concurrent Users

Jun 4, 2013

I'm using a Huawei B660 3G router at my house, with with a service provider called 8ta (in South Africa). I've been struggling for months to try and get them to troubleshoot and fix my connection, which was working fine for about a year.

I'm now daily struggling with download speeds of as little as 0.1Mbps to 0.5Mbps, especially after 5pm until about midnight. Upload speed off course is even worse.

8ta, has after months of me complaining agreed to install an antenna at my house, which will probably take another few more weeks for them to accomplish.

I often have 5/5 bars of signal on the router, so my argument is that signal strength might not be the problem. Since the connection is in a residential area, I would assume that their network is more likely to be a bit more congested after hours, but a technician explained to me that their network is never more than 30% "occupied".

Can the number of users connected on the 3G network/tower cause signal strength to attenuate for surrounding users?

Would it replace the B660 (7Mbps) router with a 21Mbps counterpart?

How To Weaken WRT54gl Signal Strength

Mar 20, 2011

Is there a way to weaken the wrt54g signal strength? I have a client that has one of these setup and they say it's too strong and people can get it from too far away. Instead of locking it down so only certain people can get onto it like I asked they want to limit the strength of the signal so it only reaches two rooms. Is this possible?

Cisco Wireless :: Concurrent Users Per 3600?

May 7, 2012

This is one I am having a hard time finding an answer for.  How many clients can a 3600 AP support?  For 150 clients on one of these, what would the throughput be for each client?
  
If my calculations are correct, the device can deliver 420 Mbps, which gives each client roughly 2.8Mbps. Is this correct?

Cisco Routers :: SRP527W Maximum Concurrent Users

Oct 11, 2012

We have a client that is looking to provide connectivity for up to 800 users at a conference. They have a SRP527W available to them. Looking at the configuration we have been able to provide the needed number of IP addresses through VLANs each with their own DHCP scope.
 
However we are doubtful that the router will be able to process such a high number of connections (NAT, Firewall etc.) even though they will be using a specialised application that pulls static content via WAN.
 
Thus far we have been told that the unit has supported 150 user no issue, my I am guessing anything over 200 and you would start to see stability issues?

Is there a way to view my exact signal strength(say in % I guess) with my laptop running windows 7?I had software for the wireless card in my tower pc which gave a signal strength of 70%. I'm curious if my laptop is getting a similar strength since they are close but a few feet apart. Or where in my house gets the best signal other than just showing low-excellent.

Wireless Low Connectivity / Signal Strength

May 16, 2011

I have three desktops and one lap. I have TWC RCA modem and cisco linksys router and two usb adapters for wireless connection. situation is this: the modem and router are at one end of the house and one of the pc's is located at the other end. that one gets low signal strength only one or two bars and the internet works slowly to a point it feels like i'm on dial up. I've had people tell me to upgrade the router from wrt45g to n which I did to an e1000, but I still have the same issue. also was told to move the modem and router to the center of the house. but twc says that would not correct the issue.

Something about dividing the mpbs and the farther the pc the lower the signal. so, guess my question would be 1. does that sound correct to you. would it be better to move the modem and router? would it be better to have the one in question wired in? I did try an extender by netgear, which gave more bars/signal strength but but then would not connect to the internet. but I did that before I got newer linksys router. not sure if maybe I should try the extender again, but then the geek squad, when they came an set up the new router, said that it would probably do the same thing.

How To Increase Wifi Signal Strength

Jun 3, 2012

I have computers scattered across our home, and in many areas it is not feasible to run ethernet cable. At one location (less than 30 feet away) but through multiple walls, I can barely connect to any POS (I have two). I added a stand alone antenna extension with long antennas on both the router and the WiFi card on the PC, however, this made zero improvement.What should I be looking to purchase to increase the signal strength? I've already tried different routers.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Getting Low Signal Strength / Speed?

Mar 25, 2011

I have my DIR-655 router set up on the first floor because my son's tricked out gaming rig is in the basement while our office is on the 2nd floor.  On the router, I tweaked settings to give him priority speed when he is gaming.  Although he complains about his speeds and connectivity.  In our 2nd floor office -- which is one floor and 30 ft through a wall away -- my signal strength varies from 45% to 70%.  There are times when neighbor's networks show greater strength than mine does.  I live in a house so the physical distance is much greater plus there are two exterior walls, no matter where their router is placed.  The adapter in the office computer is a D-Link DWA-556.

D-Link DIR-655 :: Low Signal Strength In Room

Mar 16, 2012

My question has to do with the low signal strength of my dir-655.  I have it set up in the second bedroom of my apartment.  When I am sitting in my living room (about 30 feet away) it's really hard to pull in a signal of more than one bar on my phone, or two bars on my wife's kindle fire and will often drop the signal all together.  But, if I search for networks, tons of other routers come up with excellent signal strength from our neighbors.  Is there something I need to know about expanding the signal strength?

Wireless Router - Low Signal Strength Outside Home

May 12, 2012

My router has wireless capability and the signal inside my home is pretty strong so I have no compaints there. The problem comes in when I use my computer which is located in a shed outside. I get a signal maybe 35% of the time, and even then it's weak. I want to use an access point to allow the computer in the shed to aquire internet access. Do I need to hardwire the access point or can I do it wirelessly? Would a repeater be more effective and which config would be best in that case?

D-Link DIR-825 :: Getting Access Point And Signal Strength?

Nov 21, 2011

I have connected my DIR-825 to my cable modem through the network ports and completed the configuration.  Everything works fine, I am able to connect through wireless to the DIR-825 and access the internet.  I had to do this as my cable modem is also wireless and does not allow another router to be connected through the internet connection, but I want to get a better signal stength than the cable modem.When I am not wireless connected, I can see the two bands at full strength in the view available wireless networks screen.  As soon as I connect to either the 2.4 channel or the 5 channel, the signal strenth of the channel I'm connected to drops to horrible, while the non-connected one still shows at full strength.i tried disabling one of the channels, but as soon as I connect to the other, that channels signal strength still drops to horrible.

Cisco Wireless :: WAP 200 - Poor Signal Strength

Nov 21, 2010

I have purchased two WAP200 units to act as access point and repeater. AP and repeater functionality works fine.
 
The issue I am having is extremely poor signal from both units. Even when very close to the WAP200, I get poor signal quality. The range before loosing connection is only a few feet.
 
I'm using the antennas that came with the box and have tried multiple placements both in my house and in other locations. I have also tried changing several of the configurations without any effect on the signal strength. Older D-link and Linksys routers provide good reception to most of my house from the same location.

Cisco Wireless :: AP350 Low Signal Strength?

Mar 7, 2012

I have two AIR-AP350 SERIES AP's.  I am receiveing wifi from my friends house a mile away across a valley with clear line of sight.  I think there is a problem with one of these units because when doing a link test one unit shows 14% signal strength on either antenna from the remote router and the second unit shows 6% on the left hand antenna and 1% on the right.

Cisco Routers :: RV180W Wi-Fi Signal Strength?

May 27, 2013

We just recently invested in 5 RV180Ws to serve as replacements for the aging routers in 5 of our shops. Additionally, we bought them because they seem to offer robust WiFi options for customers/guests, such as multiple SSIDs and restricting 'public' traffic to it's own VLAN.
 
Straight out of the box we updated them to the new firmware, 1.0.2.6, set up 2 SSIDs (one hidden for employee use, and one broadcast for customer use), and plugged them in.
 
Everything seemed to be going great until we walked to the other side of the shop and watched the signal drop off almost completely. These are fairly small premises and the router can't be more than 8 metres from where the customers are, and yet the signal is so weak that it's almost unusable.
 
For reference, we have the WiFi running in B/G/N mixed mode to maximise compatibility. with the channel and width set to their defaults (Auto and 20MHz, I believe).
 
Moving the routers is only semi-viable; these are meant to serve as replacements for existing IT equipment, and the cabling situation means they can only really go in the office space near the rear of the shops. Also, it simply shouldn't be necessary; WiFi should extend well past 8 metres without issue.

Wireless Connection With Excellent Signal Strength - Cannot Use The Internet Though

I am using a desktop PC with a wireless USB stick attached in order to connect to the internet via a wireless router, however, although it states that I am connected with excellent signal strength, it continues to show a warning sign over the wireless connection signal bars ON THE DESKTOP TRAY ONLY. I can't surf the web on my desktop or on my IPAD through the wireless connection in which both devices detect. I have a Sitecom wireless router.

TL-WN951N Weak Signal Strength With One Wireless Card

Apr 24, 2012

A while ago I replaced my wireless card, and the new one get's considerably weaker signal strength and drops out periodically. I'm sure the problem is with the card itself (or its firmware). It not only get's weak signal strength from my router, but every surrounding network, and sometimes can't detect any networks for a few minutes. I've used several other wi-fi devices in the same spot where this system is sitting and they all get excellent signal strength.I've already tried changing channels on my router and re-installing drivers. Neither has any effect.The card in question is a TP-Link TL-WN951N.
