Not Getting Strong Signal When Used To
Feb 17, 2011
Well I just recently got my computer back from Gateway.I sent it off to them because I was having overheating issues.Well they fixed that by replacing the cpu and fans. But now that I have it back I'm not getting a very good signal from my wireless router. I'm one room away from the router and it use to be full bars...Now I'm at a steady 2 bars, signal strength poor. I used to be able to pick up probably 20 networks that were close to me. Now I don't pick up any of those, just my own. I'm wondering what the heck happened! I've tried restoring my system but it didn't do anything. Also, if I go to Control panel and click on diagnose wireless adapter it will say it fixes it, and then a bunch of networks pop up, all good strength, even mine will have full bars for about 30 seconds, then boom, all the other networks disappear and mine goes clear down to 2 bars.

I just got a job at a School district that has an extremly old and basic network setup (No Firewall, only 2 accounts on the server Student and Teacher). They have two small buildings that have 1 wireless router on each floor about in the middle of the hallway. I am having a strange issue I haven't seen before with a windows 7 laptop that a few of the teachers in the district are having. They can see the wireless router on the network but everytime they try and connect it says "Windows Cannot Connect or is Denied Access". All the other laptops in the building connect fine.Heres what I have done so far.
-Power cycled the router, nothing.
-ipconfig /release, and renew, nothing.
-Getting closer to the router and connecting, nothing. (Also tried with a differant laptop in the room and it could connect no problem which confused me more)
-Updating the network card.(says it has the latest updates)
-Re-entering the network key, nothing
What I haven't tried is setting up manually a static IP. But do I need to do that? And if so how do I know which IP to give it is there a way I can generate a list of all the IP's on the network?

So I have been trouble shooting this for just over a day and still nothing, but anyways. My computer says that I am connected to the wireless router and that I have great signal strength but I have no internet access from either my IPv4 or IPv6. I have been using the cmd commands such as netsh reset, and the like. I have restarted both modem and router a few times as well as my computer. Also just did a recent avg scan and firewalls are all off. This is all coming from my mac laptop which is connected just fine which leaves me even more confused.

I have 2 PCs in my home both running windows 7. My PC is directly receiving internet (10mb/s broadband). I have tried a few times to set up wireless for my mother who has her PC in the other room. The problem I have is that all though her PC recognizes the signal from my wireless, when I try hit connect, nothing happens and it gives me troubleshooting options.

I bought this router (DIR-655) some time earlier this year, so it hasn't even been half a year that I've owned the thing. I set it up in the small duplex I was sharing with my sister and it worked quite well. Actually... for the first 45 minutes I was freaking out because I was getting practically no signal, then I realized I had forgotten to screw in the antennas... but that little anecdote aside, it worked fine.
I've since moved into a new place. I got a new modem, still on Videotron, I just upped the speed from 7 MB/sec to 15 MB/sec. Before setting up the router I inserted the CD that came with it and followed the instructions therein... things seemed fine, except that he automatically used the same network name that I used at my last place... almost like he was stuck on it. I couldn't figure out how to create a fresh new network. But I shrugged it off and continued, entering my own password and everything else.
Now, at the end he gave me 4 pieces of information,
A router password. A network name (SSID), this is the one who's name was stuck to the old one. A network security type, I went for Most secure(WPA) And the network security key, this was a randomly generated alphanumeric code of some sort.
I copied this in two different ways and the installation wizard automatically saved me a copy onto the desktop, so I know for certain I got the passwords right. I pulled out my iPad later, saw the network, a good strong signal, and tried to connect except it's not accepting my password. The password I triple-saved and checked without a shadow of a doubt. On a whim I tried to use the Security Key, and that seemed to connect for some reason, but it is considerably slower than it was at my last place.
The modem isn't to blame (it's running on double the speed now) and the signal strength is good. It's just that something gone weird with the password, and it feels very slow. Even if it wasn't slow, I would really like to know why none of my wifi devices are accepting the password I assigned.
And I used that http://192.168.0.1/ trick to look into the router settings from my computer. I changed the network password into something new. And still none of the devices will connect, they keep telling me it's the wrong password. I am only able to connect through the Security Key and I don't like that! I tried to contact D-Link's technical support the other day, but it drew on for so long my cellphone actually ran out of minutes.
Short Version: None of my wifi devices are accepting the password I gave during the setup and I don't know why!
I'm running a 64-bit Windows 7 on 1-year old dual-core desktop computer.

I have a Linksys N Router connected to a Windows 7 computer. My wired connection through Comcast is an average of 25 Mbps. In the bedroom above me I have another computer with a Linksys N Adapter on Windows Vista. I am receiving a strong WiFi signal on an average of 240 Mbps. However, my internet downstream is less than 1 Mbps and the upload is over 3 Mbps. I've updated the router's firmware and reset it twice. I've also tried changing the channels and switching to broadcasting "N" only. Linksys won't facilitate because it's out of warranty.

I currently have a 20MB down and 2MB internet. I have a Cisco Linksys E4200 with Firmware Version 1.0.05. We have a two bedroom apartment, one of the bedrooms is our office which is by the front door. We have the wireless router and our modem in the office. We have an apple TV in our living room that is connected to the wireless internet. Every time we get random times where the video output is very pixely and seems we are streaming shows/movies on a 56k modem.

I have been having some trouble lately with my internet since I have been home from college. I have no problem connected to my router wirelessly, and I always have a strong connect seeing as I am no more than 15 feet from the router. The problem arises sporadically for different intervals. One second I will be browsing the internet with no problem, and the next second I am unable to load any pages.
I was just in a Skype conversation with one of my friends and had a perfect connection with them. I was on twitter at the same time, when suddenly the pages stopped loading. The weird thing is, my connect was still strong while video chatting and it did not cut out. Why my web pages will not load while I still apparently have a strong connection.

I have two desktop computers upstairs.The main pc has the Linksys G Router and the other pc is wireless with a network adapter. All works fine here.Downstairs and on the other side of the house, I use my laptop which is wireless to the network. I also have a 46" hidef tv hooked up to a blu ray player and also connected to the network with a wireless adapter. I use Netflix to stream movies and seem to be having a problem with the signal in this room, both on the tv and my laptop. I sometimes only have 2 bars on my laptop and frequently get disconnected to the internet. When I am streaming movies or tv series, I get frequent stops and starts.
I am guessing that the signal is just not strong enough to reach this far from the router. Would switching to an N router be better for streaming? Would another G router downstairs solve my problem?

I am trying to brainstorm some ideas for the best wireless set up in a house that is 2 stories and 8500 SQ Feet. The house is wired with ethernet jacks.
Option 1. ASUS RT-N66U and Hawking Hi-Gain HWREN1
Option 2. Two Apple Airport Extreme's at either end of the house.
Option 3. Asus RT-N66U and Linksys WRT54G (DD-WRT Firmware).
What about the placement of the equipment? Should there be one router/access point on each floor or just two at either end of the house.

I mostly use my computer in my house, so I am not sure if it is a network problem, or something is wrong with my laptop, but I am having a lot of trouble maintaining a constant connection lately. Often times, I try to load a page and it says "connection reset" or whatever.I have a Dell Studio laptop with an Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN wireless card. I am using the Broadcom Netlink driver along with Microsoft Miniport Adapter (all of this info came from my Device Manager). I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 4GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.10 GHz, Service Pack 1.

I have 2 laptops, a DELL (windows XP home) and a Toshiba (windows 7).i suddenly couldn't get online with my Toshiba a week ago. Looks like I'm connected, but just can't send out. I changed to the DELL and all was fine for days, then I suddenly couldn't send out for a website with this, either. My connection shows strong, and can receive, but can't send out. This is a secure network (supposedly). I've rebooted, and have internet phone that works, so it's not the modem.

I have just purchased a WAG320N as I was told that I wouldn't have any connection issues with this model. The wireless connection upstairs is still not strong and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this. I'm sick of the blue Ethernet cord running up the stairs connected to my son's XBox.

I have a wireless router that rests across the house next to the modem. The signal is too weak to reach to the other side of the house. Is there a way to boost the signal so I can get wifi from across the house or any other way to get an internet connection without several fifty foot wires going across the house?

I previously had a Linksys WRT54G, before I upgraded to my new router I was getting quite good signals and my internet speed on my pc was ranging from 3.7 - 4.5 Mbpsfter upgrading to a Cisco Linksys E4200 based on the great Cnet ratings, my internet speed has plumetted to a range of 2.5 - 3.1 Mbps and the Signal Strength on my wireless connection has gone to "Very Low"I have checked the channels of the surrounding routers (using a software called network stumbler). I am using channel 1 which is not being used by anyone else.I am just surprised, I thought my speed and connection strength would sky rocket after getting such a good router.

I am trying to use a pre-existing DSL modem-router config in a club house my group uses for monthly meetings. It�s a separate modem and router (Linksys or Netgear), forget modem brand. I'm unable to communicate with the owners of the equipment. If I connect to the router directly with a cat5 patch cord I can get on the internet just fine, but do not see a wireless signal from the router. I am also unable to connect with 192.168.1.1 from my laptop. I get the same message as if I'd entered a random nonsense url. I know you can go into your router and disable wireless but first you have to talk to it via 192.168.1.1 .
So I got clever and piggybacked another known good router into one of the Ethernet ports on the 1st router, and again got on the internet with a direct cat5 connection. But this time, I DO SEE the wireless signal from my 2nd router and can connect to it from the laptop, but still no internet! it's like internet access is blocked in the 1st router.
