Poor wireless signal quality, please help?

I am projected at getin 60Mbps for my wireless connection, but a week after geetting Infinity, the signal maxes out at 5.5Mbps.
I am 3 miles from the interchange, but my initial speed test was 58.6Mbps download and 8Mbps upload (I was more than happy with this).
All hardware related to the internet connection is brand new from BT, we have a new line and ther interchange is in fully-functioning condition.
What do I do? I can't access the internet at peak times at all >.< I get a stronger signal hosting off my iPhone's 3G connection!

What speed do you get if you use a direct Ethernet cable from the home hub to the computer?

  • VERY Poor Wireless Signals

    Hello everyone! I have a Linksys WRT54G v8 Wireless-G Broadband Router. I receive VERY poor wireless signals from it. There are no frequency interferences, physical obstructions, or anything like that. I have tried channels 1, 6, and 11 (non-overlapping channels), but did not seem to notice a difference. How can I adjust the Wireless -> Advanced Wireless Settings in order to improve the wireless signals? Thank you!

    Hi
     Is the firmware up to date ?
    If not , then upgrade the firmware .
     U can even try channel - 9 !!
    Advance wireless settings : RTS threshold - descrease by 42.
                                                  Fragementation - decrease by 42.
                                                  Beacon Interval - change to 75 or 50.
    Observe the settings.

  • IPhoto 06 poor quality Please help Please help!

    I am now struggling big time. In a recent post I stated the major issues that I have with iMovie 08
    "I have increased my RAM from 1gig to 4 gig and upgraded my operating system to OS X 10.5.6 (including Boot ROM version etc.) I have re-installed iLife 08 and have installed all available software updates and am still having iMovie 08 constantly crash on me while creating a movie. It imports my .MOV files fine, but crashes while cutting footage from my iPhoto Video library in Event Library to be added to a project."
    Not being able to work in iMovie 08 I have imported some of the same footage into iMovie 06, but unfortunately it looks far inferior in quality in 06. In 08 the footage is crisp and clear and in 06 it looks soft and out of focus.
    I am working on HD .MOV files that are 1920x1080 and want to retain that same quality. At this stage it looks like neither iMovie 06 or 08 are of any use to me.
    Please help!

  • Poor audio quality - PLEASE HELP!

    So i recently purchased the Satellite C55T-A5306 and the sounds quality from the laptop itself is really low quality. So to try and enhance the sound, i bought Logitech Z130 Stereo Speakers and it STILL sounds dry and muddy. I plugged the speakers into my iPod and the sound was drastically improved, but when they're in my laptop it sounds flat. I don't know how to make the audio sound better through my speakers. Please help!
    I was thinking that if i bought an HDTV and used that as an external monitor and got speakers for my TV, it would sound better and add texture, but i'm unsure if the audio quality would still be dry from the laptop.

    Check and see if it you need to update your audio drivers and check their settings. You can check this out via the device manager in control panel. I'm not familiar with this specific model but with mine if you plug in a headphone jack it will bring up the dolby/reltek audio manager. See what kind of quality it's on and whether or not you can put it on stereo, then check your EQ's, bass, that kind of thing. Try having a CD or something going while you do it so you can hear the differences and set it to your liking. If it doesn't come up with the manager try typing in either audio or sound into your start menu's search bar and see what it gives you.
    Best of luck!

  • Poor Wireless signal

    I just bought a HP 20-2110d All-in-One Desktop PC. Had so much difficulty setting it up as it had a poor wireless connectivity. Always only showing 2 bars and connectivity cutting off every now and then.
    Called HP support this morning and they led me to "device manager" and reinstalling network adapter. But it still showed a poor signal after that. As my neighbour's signal was showing up, the HP help staff suggested that it was due to signal overlap. He asked me to call my service provider and ask for isp signal channel to be changed.
    My question is: why is it that other devices such as my handphones and laptops not have this problem? The signal shown is so much stronger and there have been no connectivity problems.

    You are welcome.
    Some wireless cards are not very powerful.  It would be good if you could move the router closer to the computer to see if that helps the situation.

  • Not the average problem with wireless connection. Please help me..

    I've been having wireless connection problems ever since I upgraded to Verizon FiOS from Verizon Wireless. Before upgrading to Verizon FiOS in the fall of 2012, my brother's laptop connected just fine with the connection. After upgrading to Verizon FiOS, my brother's laptop could not connect to the internet. It showed the wireless connection signal as Excellent, but I could not access the internet. Either it would be extremely slow or there would be no connection at all. Also, the router would sometimes restart itself randomly, and it was extremely annoying for me since I am hardwired with my desktop.
    This was weird because my iPod Touch connected perfectly fine to the wifi. So I thought it must be the laptop. But I brought the laptop over to my cousin's house, who also happens to have Verizon FiOS, and the laptop connected perfectly fine. I called Verizon and none of the technicians knew what the problem was. We tried disabling and enabling the router, changing the channels, and anything that was on the list. They couldn't help me and I was extremely disappointed because not only am I not accessing the internet with my brother's laptop, but I am also paying for the service too. The last technician I called in 2012 decided to send me a new router. I hoped this would work, but it did not. This router, too, would completely reset itself numerous times before settling down and letting me use the internet.
    I gave up after that. But in the spring of 2013, I got really fed up with the service I was receiving and I decided to call Verizon again. Again, Verizon tried to help me fix the laptop with their tools and solution guides. But nothing good came out of it, so I decided to ask for a technician to come to my apartment to fix it. We scheduled a day and I was pretty excited since I was almost positive that the connection for the laptop would be fine by then.
    I was wrong. The technician came and only stayed for about 20 minutes. He said it must be the laptop or it must be that the walls are too thick in my apartment. But that can't be it since, in my cousin's house, the router is on the second floor and my brother was using his laptop on the first floor. So it couldn't be the laptop nor the house. So we came to no conclusion. He just attached a mini router to the laptop and hardwired it. I wasn't so content but I was glad my brother could finally use the internet now.
    About three months pass by and I decide to get myself a new laptop. I get it and I am hoping the wireless connection works. It did, so I was almost positive that it was my brother's laptop that was the problem, not the wireless signal. I go on vacation for a few days and I connect perfectly fine at my friend's house. When I return home and try to connect to my wireless connection, it didn't work!
    At this point, I am extremely frustrated. I decided to call Verizon again to replace my router because it was being extremely annoying. It kept resetting itself and I was tired of it. I replaced the router, and this is the router I currently have, but I STILL have the same problem. It resets itself on its own time and I hate it because I'm always in the middle of something. Wow, just wow. There is nothing they could do to help me fix this. I call up a technician, for the millionth time, and he tells me he can't access my router. This occurred with the previous technician who sent me the new router. He tells me his tools are not working and tells me he'll call me back the next day.
    It was the next day and I did not receive any phone call. I am extremely disappointed in Verizon FiOS' service and it's customer service. I leave it alone and I just hardwire my laptop to the router. Of course this works, but what's the point of having a laptop when I have to keep it hardwired on my desk? After a day or two, I decide to check if the wireless connection works, and it did. I was surprised. But every now and then, it would shift on and off. Most of the time, the wireless connection is either EXREMELY SLOW or I get none at all, nonetheless, it still says the connection is Excellent.
    Please, if there is anyone who could help or try to help me, I would most appreciate it. If there is more information that you need, ask me and I will try my best to provide it to you.

    Admittedly, that IS a strange case. Unfortunately, it sounds like all possible troubleshooting has been done by the tech support agents. you mentioned that you were dissatisfied with your other service, did it have a similar problem? theres a possibility of dirty fiber or a bad ONT port, but the random rebooting of the router would almost exclusively be a bad router. question: is the router in the same location as before?

  • Losing my wireless connection? Please help!

    I just installed an airport card (the original) into a G4 powerbook (gigabit ethernet model) and I am only periodically able to connect to the wireless signal at the local coffeeshop and at work. The signal goes in and out. I have been able to make a consistent connection on other macs at these sites so I know it isn't a problem with the signal. I am running OS 10.3 on the G4. Any ideas what my problem might be? Please help. Very frustrated. Thanks.

    It sounds like your antenna connection to the airport card is loose. The connection should have been very firm with a noticeable click when the plug was inserted.
    This issue has been brought up many times in this and other forums.
    You also need to make sure that the antenna cord hasn't been pinched or damaged during the card's installation process.

  • More Wireless issues..please help

    I have Infiniti2 and HH3. I used my 'old' draytek vigor 2710 as access for upstairs wireless. All well till few weeks ago. HH3 wireless is still strong, but I cannot connect to it? Strange. So, I changed various passwords and evem reset to original default as well as WPS to my ipad, laptop, iphone and galaxy all to no avail. Obviously the HH£ is broadcasting the signals well. Yet when I try the BT FON signal presumably from my own hub it connects?? There must be some protocol problem here. I am getting a bit cheesed off....I suppose a 'lazy' option would be to pruchase the alternate routers and such as te TP ;nk suggested? but what a waste of a new HH£??
    PLease help a newbie in need.
    Thanks

    Thanks for quick response. I have tried different password solutions including wps, each time after resetting on the hub and web resetting too to the default, but with no positive result so far. Any more ideas?
    And as I mentioned above, can you confirm that you've removed the connection attempts on the devices - not just the hub
    You would need to navigate to the wireless settings on all wireless devices, look for any saved connection attempts and select 'forget network' or something similar.

I go to speakeasy.net and i have ran the speed test on all 4 computers. the average for the 3 computers(not the t61p) is 2800kpbs. i should supposbly have 3000kbps according to verizion but that doesnt matter. Anyways when i run the lenovo on the speakeasy website the highest download rate i got was 1000kbps. genrelly its around 700kbps. I have made sure all computers have Excellent signal 100%. I noticed the laptop was slow using the internet on downloads and even web browsing and its a fairly big difference from the others. I feel like something is restricting my t61p.

  • Connecting to a wireless print server, please help!!!

    i have a canon mp500 connected to a network through a wireless printserver and wireless router. the printer works when directly connected to my macbook, but not when connected to the print server. i contacted linksys and they sent a docment on how to set the printer up using it's ip address. still didn't work (the instructions were for 10.1 and 10.2). i have downloaded and installed the current mac os x drivers from the canon website with no luck. please help

    I'm no expert, but I was able setup HP printer connected wirelessly to AEBS by using Apple's Printer Setup Utility and Bonjour. I was, however, able to install the HP drivers using the software that came with the printer, but it sounds like you could not do so with Canon?
    Anyway, here are Apple's help files for adding an IP printer:
    "Connecting to an IP printer
    An IP printer is a network printer that uses TCP/IP protocols (such as LPD/LPR, IPP, or Socket or Jet Direct) to communicate with your computer. If the IP printer you want to use is not listed when you print, you can add it to your list of available printers.
    To add an IP printer, you need to know its IP address or DNS name. See your network administrator for assistance.
    Open the document to print, and choose File > Print.
    Choose Add Printer from the Printer pop-up menu, and click IP Printer in the dialog that appears.
    Choose the appropriate printing protocol from the Protocol pop-up menu.
    Type the IP address or DNS name for the printer in the Address field.
    If your printer requires it, type the queue name for your printer in the Queue Name field. If you don't know the queue name, see your network administrator for assistance.
    Enter a name and location for the printer, so you can identify it in the Printer pop-up menu.
    If the Print Using pop-up menu does not display the name of your printer's model, choose the item appropriate for your printer from the Print Using pop-up menu, and then select your printer in the Model Name list.
    Click Add.
    Usually, your computer can detect whether a printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can't, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer's installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them."

  • TV NO SIGNAL!-PLEASE HELP!!

    Hello all,
    I'm currently house sitting for a friend whilst she's away and all of a sudden all (3) of the TV's just say 'no signal' when I switch them on-It started yesterday with the one in the lounge (whilst the one in my bedroom worked fine last night)-But today nothings working...I tried the standard 'un-plugging' everything for a few mins but to no avail
    I really want to get it sorted before she comes back from mholiday this Sat but cant afford to call out a technician...please help!
    Many thanks :-))

    Have you turned anything off? If the aerial feed goes via a Vision box or similar it will need to be powered to pass the signal through (on or standby mode are fine but it won't work if you turn the power off).

  • Re: WRT350N ----- Very poor Wireless signal strength from my router

    I have a WRT350N router.  I had it for a year now.   In the begining the Wireless Signal strenth was good. 
    I used to get 4-5 bars in my bed room which is about 10 meters from the router. 
    Now I have my laptop sitting 1 feet away from the router and I get only 1 bar.
    I upgraded my firmware.  I rebooted my router a few times still no luck.
    Current Firmware Version:  v1.04.4 build 003 Jul. 14, 2008
    Can any one tell me whats the problem. More importantly can some one help me resolve this problem.
    Thanks
    Sunny

    As you upgraded the router's firmware,I would suggest you to reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure it from the scratch, as it is advisable to reset the router after upgrading the router's firmware.
    On the router's setup page,Under Wireless tab..Give unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID). Change the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz... Under the Advance Wireless tab,change the Beacon Interval to 75 and click on save settings.... Now,check.

  • E3000 poor wireless signal

    I recently parted with my ancient Linksys BEFW11S4 router to get the E3000.  I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, not very big.  The old router's wireless signal didn't reach the living room about 20 feet away.  I was under the impression the E3000's wireless signal strength was much greater.  However I was disappointed to find out that my PS3 and Laptop are still not able to connect to the internet.  My laptop will sometimes get connection, but only 1 bar or 3 at max.  The PS3 does not pick up the signal at all.  It is broadcasting mixed so my PS3 should pick up the 802.11 g and the laptop 802.11 n.  However neither is performing as advertised.  The E3000 is designed to support a 2 story house wireless but it can't even support my small apartment.  Am I doing something wrong?  Why is the signal strength so terrible? 

    I am having a very simalar issue with my E3000. I was running only G with my E3000 becuase of a compatibility issue with a WGA54G. I tossed the WGA54G and got a D-Link DAP1522 so that all my devices (PS3, Netbook, iPhone) would be N. I have a few questions.
    What should my real world transfer speeds be? I am transfering from a NAS drive (not using the USB port, an Ethernet NAS) and getting 1.5MBps which isn't any faster than when I was on G. If I use 5ghz band the speeds are much worse. I tried every channel with both 2 & 5ghz and very little difference between channels although a few were worse than others.
    I haven't realoaded firmware yet and I haven't changed the advanced settings so I will be doing those next.
    I have seen a few time to set these settings:
    "Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304"
    For my information how are these setting supposed to help me?
    Thanks.
