How to get better WLan connectivity on Satellite U200

I wonder if anyone else is disappointed with the wireless range of the U200.
I consistently find that my laptop shows 2 bars connectively to my BT hub (upstairs) when my eeepc located next the laptop shows 5.
I have also found in other locations that my partners laptop finds far more wireless networks than I do.
I would prefer to explore the ability to boost my wireless connection before relocating my BT hub to give me better reception. i.e. be able to find the hub with my laptop wherever I am in the house (like my partners does)
Anyone got any ideas please?

Ok a few views but no ideas.... I've now experimented with an external wireless adapter
I have a toshiba satellite pro u200 with built in WiFi. I also have 2 adsl providers in the house (one will be cancelled as soon as i am happy with the new one - but i am taking the oportunity to experiment at the mo to try to resolve a few issues)
I have one wireless router under my desk (Virgin Media 2mb service - VM), the other is upstairs (BTHomehub 8mb - BT)
Using the tosh inbuilt Wireless adapter if i sit 2 laptops side by side on my desk they both pick up VM at 100%. (tosh and eeepc) - this should happen as the router in under the desk!
If i sit the same 2 latops on my desk and get them to connect to BT, the tosh onlys gives 2 bars, the eeepc 100%. (by bars i mean View Available Networks - see the 5 bars to show connection strength)
If i then plug in an external Netgear WG111T 108Mbps Wireless USB2.0 Adapter to the tosh the connection improves to 4 bars.
is there anything i can do the the built in WiFi on the tosh to improve things or am i better to use an external adapter. If i use the external how does the tosh know which adapter to use? as i have to have the wireless switch to the on position so doesn't this activate the inbuilt?
I allow the pc to show the network show icon when connected and can see the speed at 54 Mbps - what does this mean?
shouldn't i expect to see 108 Mbps if that is what the netgear external is capable of?

  • How to get better resolution on graphical borders in Pages?

    When using the «line effect» on a picture frame and choose a «image border», these borders a very pixelated and low resoltion when i.e. printing on a quality printer. Seems to be only screen resolution (100-150 dpi)? Is this a bug in Pages – how to get better resolution for these borders when exporting for example to PDF?

  • How to get better perform here

    hi there,
    bellow code is using with in the loop. how can i modify to get better performance.
    SELECT knumv kposn kwert FROM konv
                                    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF lt_konv
                                     WHERE knumv EQ lt_output-knumv
                                     AND kposn EQ lt_output-posnr
                                     AND kschl EQ 'VPRS'.
            COLLECT lt_konv.
          ENDSELECT.
    thx in adv.

    the better solution for the select statement whould be to use the aggreagte function sum for the field kwert:
    SELECT knumv kposn sum(kwert)
                 FROM konv
                 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table lt_konv
                 WHERE knumv EQ lt_output-knumv
                       AND kposn EQ lt_output-posnr
                       AND kschl EQ 'VPRS'.
    The select is inside the loop an lt_output.
    Aggregate functions and FOR ALL ENTRIES can not be combined, the
    FOR ALL ENTRIES is a select distinct !!!
    So you must leave the loop around the select and you can't use the FOR ALL ENTRIES, but this is o.k.,

  • How to execute "netsh wlan connect SSID", but SSID has space and quotation marks?

    Dear all:
    I have a wifi roruter with SSID test "3"
    But when I execute following command netsh wlan connect "test \"3\""
    the netsh reply: 未將設定檔 "test " 指派給指定的介面。
    Sorry my windows7 is chinese version, but as you can see, netsh detect my SSID as
    test, not test "3".
    Does everybody know how to use netsh to connect to a SSID, and these SSID has space and quotation mark both?
    Regards,
    Joseph

    Hi Joseph,
    Firstly, please modify your SSID name to make sure it do not contain spaces or special characters. SSID name is the router setting. please go there to change SSID name.
    In addition, If only one SSID is specified in the profile, then the specified SSID is used to connect, and the ssid parameter is not required. If the profile specifies multiple SSIDs, the ssid parameter is required.
    Therefore, I would like to suggest you run command as this syntax:
    netsh wlan conncet ssid=Your SSID of the unsecured wireless network name=Your current profile name
    To do this, please refer to the section “connect” in the following document:

  • VBAI Development Toolkit, Custom Plugin: How to get TCP data / connection ID configured in VBAI Communication Manager?

    Hello,
    I would like to create a custom plugin using the VBAI Dev. Toolkit. I'm using VBAI 2010 with LabView 2010.
    In this step I would like to send a TCP message over a TCP connection defined in VBAI Communication Manager. How can I get the open Connection ID? Or do I have to open the connection in the Plugin? In this case, how to get the defined TCP data from the Communication Manager?
    Thanks for your help.
    Best regards,
    Yellow

    Yes you could. You can even create a simple VBAI inspection that uses the TCP step and then migrate it to LabVIEW to see how VBAI opens the connection and uses it in the TCP step. It may be more involved if you want to allow the user to configure all the TCP settings (IP Address/port) and have all your custom steps use the same settings (maybe save them to an INI and have all steps use the same INI to get the settings).
    Hope this helps,
    Brad

  • How to get better resolution on Blu-ray (1080/60i)

    I'm experimenting with my new AG-AC160A camcorder and have been shooting youth hockey games in AVCHD mode, 1080/60i, 1/120 shutter, manual gain and white balance set appropriately, and florescent scene file setting due to lighting in rink. I have PP CS5 and am disappointed with the relative lack of HD-crispness when the Blu-ray output is played on my HD LED set. I used the above settings based on recommendations I saw in the forum somewhere. Any suggestions on what I can try differently? Thank you.

    To elaborate on Ann's great advice, the Sequence preset you should be using is AVCHD 1080i30 (60i).
    A good way to start out with the correct sequence is to import your clips and then drag one onto the "New Item" icon at lower right of Project Bin. This will create a new sequence to match the source material automatically. As Ann mentioned, you have a non-HD preview format, so if you rendered the timeline to green, and checked "Use Previews" on the final export, then your Blu-ray could have "SD quality" footage in it!!
    Curious why the 1/120 shutter, hoping to get better action motion?
    If you have a current timeline using the incorrect settings, go ahead and add a NEW Sequence with correct settings, open original sequence and "Select All" which is CRTL + A, then CTRL + C to Copy. Then go to the proper AVCHD sequence and Ctrl + V to Paste entire contents. You will now have the edited sequence moved into correct sequence settings. Now use Export and in AME choose "H.264 Blu-ray" and choose the 1080i preset and export, then use results in Encore. The Blu-ray should look excellent when done correctly.
    When exporting from AME, do NOT check the box for "Use Previews", as you want to encode direct from original source and skip any intermediate render clips.
    Thanks

  • I just swiched from PC to Mac. I was a heavy Office user (O/W/X/PP/Pub). I have O/W/X for Mac but I am feeling unorganized. Any insights on how to get better organized is appreciated.

    I just switched from a PC to a Mac...I was a heavy Office using doing a lot with Outlook and MailMerge plus PP and Publisher. I have Outlook/Word/Excel but I am not being able to work with these as I did with my Office program. Any thoughts on  how to get myself organized again?

    Install Windows on your Mac and reinstall all your Windows software.
    Microsoft purposely hobbles Mac versions to prevent defections and quite frankly will find little offerings outside of Microsoft for those types of softwares.

    Thank you

    Listen dude
    You bought this notebook Satellite C850-B253 which is equipped with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 with shared memory (memory amount : up to 1,696 MB shared memory with 4 GB system memory installed (with pre-installed 64-bit operating system)
    Dont expect too much from this internal graphic chip.
    Your game is new and requires great GPU performance. If you are a gamer, you should purchase a notebook with an external GPU like ATI or nVidia.

  • How to get a Recovery media for Satellite L305D S5900

    I am a Ghanaian who bought a Toshiba laptop about seven months ago. The model is Satellite L305D S5900. I am also in Ghana. I found out from the documents that came with the laptop and your forum that I can order for Recovery media for it with no charge on the software itself.
    How do I get this Recovery media for my machine as I am in a different country? What are the things involved?
    Thank You.

    Your T500 can burn CD's at the least and if you can access Windows, you should be able to burn a set of recovery discs.
    Other than that, I suggest calling support to see what they can do to help. The number in the U.S. is 1-800-426-7378.

  • How to get better quality recording?

    I am trying to record vocals on Garageband, I have a Yeti mic and it works well, but I am getting some playback issues.  I have played with the settings on the mic like altering the gain and such, but nothing is working so far.  I'm getting small moments of imperfections when certain sounds are made, like when saying words with P's and C's in them.  I played around with the settings in Garageband but nothing has fixed this issue yet, I have also tried just to speak softer on those letters but that doesn't seem to help.  Any advice on how to improve the overall quality on my recordings would be great!

    I'm confused by your post. Quick Reorder makes it easier to drag slides into different positions. There is no such thing (at least not in PSE, maybe you meant PRE?) as "quick recorder". There is a button to record audio for a particular slide, but that is all.
    If you're asking about something in Premiere Elements, better to ask in their forum, since not many of us use PRE:
