Problems with signal level around the house ????

Hi Guys,
I have had my BT Home HUb 2.0 for just about a month now and after having very little luck with my new laptop which i have replaced twice and am now on my 3rd (Samsung) all working well, i am still having problems with using my laptop with the home hub about my house.
I have strong signal downstairs obviously cause that is where home hub is situated, and it is central to the layout to the house, but if i take my laptop upstairs i have no signal again, i say again as when i first fitted home hub i had good signal upstairs of 3/4 bars. I have tried changing the channel and have found that channel 11 is the one for here.
The only thing i can put it down too is that the other day i tried to get the router set up no more than 5 feet from where it is now as i am also trying to get my old pc tower to work from it too (pc tower has no internal wireless card so have a wireless adapter) but signal again is very poor, since i tried that and also laptop has manufacterer update for a new driver to be installed which i installed which was for the wireless facility on laptop ( which since i have done a system restore ), since all of this i have struggled to get strong signall all around the house only in fromt room as hub is situated in hallway next to front room.
Please help, as i am not having very muchg luck ???

Other external interference maybe.
I had a problem last year with my car remote transmitter not working unless within a few inches of the drivers window.
Using a radio scanner, I found a signal on the same frequency that my remote uses.
After eliminating all other possabilities, including total power down of our house to eliminate ANY of our equipment, I contacted Ofcom http://www.ofcom.org.uk/complain/inter/intbr/ and made a formal complaint.
A few days later the investigator arrived with some really hi tech scanning gear, and within 5 mins had identified the scource was eminating from next door.
He found the culprit....next door had a Sky remote extender which had gone faulty, and was flooding the area with a constant signal.
There is no charge for this service as long as its not your own equipment, which is why I powered off the whole house to see if the problem persisted.
Maybe you could use an extention lead from next door to power your router while turning your mains off to check?

    My iPad has to be really really close to the router for it to have internet. How can I make it so I can go around the house with it? My iPad has been like this for a couple of months, and it has really irritated me. My friend came over and he had to download iTunes for something on the computer. He needed my iPad, he tried it and it wasn't really near the router.

    I'd begin by reviewing the following:

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    i don't have any experience with DLNA TV's but i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. streaming content to airport express remote speakers and TV2 works great. however, i have all my gear hardwired to my time capsule (except the airport express) so i'm not sure how well streaming e.g. HD movies to TV over wifi works.
    i have a Synology DiskStation 411j and am very happy with it.

  • Chart - problem with realize one of the function under CR XI

    Post Author: mrowa
    CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
    Hello,
    I have
    problem with realize one of the function under CR XI. I would be persuade if
    any of us would like to help me.
    1)   
    1) From
    database (basically from one table), I take data to make report. Each of record
    have appropriate fields:
    dteData
    intYear
    intMonth
    intDate
    2)   
    2) I
    want to realized comparison data from two or more periods of time on one chart
    and in one table. For easily explanation I will describe problem on two
    periods.For instance, user want to display and compare
    on chart date (type monthly -sum data of each month) from 2007.02 u2013 2007.05
    with date from 2006.03 u2013 2006.06. So we compare month 2007.02 with 2006.03;
    2007.03 with 2006.04; 2007.04 with 2006.05; 2007.05 with 2006.06
    On char I would like to display bars with comparison
    of months.
    Problem is that I donu2019t know how to write
    something similar. I can use one period without any problems, but two and mores
    I canu2019t realized.
    Detail description:
    I passed
    two parameters two report:
    {?from}, {?to} u2013for first period
    {?offset}, it means {?from}+{?offset},
    {?to}+{?offset}  - for second period
    On axis Y I have Sum(intDate);On
    X (year + month). But on each value x( example 20007.02) I need to have
    two values (bars). Value for standard period and offset.
    For example for x=2007.02, I need
    two bars one equal 2007.02 and second with offset u2013 2006.03
    Movement to next value (bar) is
    persuade by fields {data.rok}&{data.month} first or second period. This is
    combination of two elements year&month defined under Formula. Problem
    persist in that both period has different year.month and here problem starts once
    again. I donu2019t know how to solve it. I have found out one solution but it
    limits user only for two periods (I want to compare more).
    My idea for compare only two
    periods:
    I make one query in CR for one
    period and second query for second period.
    Firs query:
    "SELECT 
           year ,
          month
    Second query
    "SELECT 
           year + FLOOR({month + offset} % 13),
          {month + offset} % 13
    Then in CR I connect two periods and
    make u201Ctableu201D (results of queries) with JOIN on fields year and month.
    This solution is not functional,
    because I need to make reports for days and hours as well. In this solution I
    canu2019t use (%31), because not all months has 31 days.
    I use CR in WEB app made in Visual
    Studio 2005. Maybe from aspx we can manipulate with date to get exact solution,
    and solve problem with SELECT.
    Hope my description clearly
    describe problem and someone will be able to help me. I would be thankful.

    I have had similar problem before.
    Because I had too many data, the legend would not display all the data. Also the chart would not display all the data. But I was able to find a work around.
    In your case, Right click on the Legend text and click on Format Legend Entry.
    Change the font of the legend to 4 (which is the minimum). This may work.
    If you are also having problem with data labels, you could change the font size of the data labels.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you.

  • Problems with "no color" in the "Fill and Stroke"

    I am having problems with “no color” in the “Fill and Stroke” function of Flash CS4 Pro.
    I had been using CS4 for 10 days and everything worked fine. Then I tried experimenting with various color combinations (along with “no color”) for “Fill and Stroke” for a simple button. Suddenly CS4 locked up on me while I was working with the “color panel”. A second color panel appeared in the upper left corner and the program was not responding. All I could do was to end the CS4 task.
    After that, whenever I created even a simple rectangle, at first the colors would appear as indicated for “Fill and Stroke”, but when I selected the object to see its properties, either the stroke or the fill color box would have a red slash line, indicating a “no color”, and I couldn’t select the color box to change it using the ink bottle tool, although the other box worked fine.
    Rebooting did not help. So I uninstalled CS4 (and didn’t keep the preferences), rebooted, then reinstalled it. The problem was still there. Logging on as another user didn’t help. I tried restoring the Windows system to before I installed CS4 and resinstalling it and that didn’t work. I have a disfunctional CS4 now and I don’t know what to do to fix it. Please help me. Thank you.

    Have you updated flash to 10.0.2?  Have you played around with a bunch of different selections, objects, and so forth to see if this box is always incorrect?  I think there's some particular selection (order of selecting things, and so on), where the color swatches in one location don't work as expected. However, it should not happen all the time and from what I recall it was fairly easy to work around (I can't even figure out what this was - so probably not it, as it seems hard to run into or perhaps now fixed).
    Also make sure you have the stroke selected - if you don't have everything selected, either the fill or stroke will show no color and dim depending on the selection.

    I would like to update to time capsule. My existing airport extreme is connected to 4 airport express around the house. If I install capsule, do I have to reset all express machines or will it work automatically?
    Thanks!

    You need to start over.. the MAC addresses are different.. if you try it will fail.. even with the same names and same IP addresses because it is not the same box.. it is much better to start over.
    And even use a wholly different naming structure.. short.. 2-20 characters no spaces.. and pure alphanumerics.
    It doesn't take long really to redo it.

  • Has anyone had a problem with their imac because the power company installed a smart meter which broadcasts the readings to the company?

    Has anyone had a problem with their imac after the power company--in my case Pepco in Washington DC--installed "smart meters" which read the meter and transmit the data via wireless?  I've had trouble and when I move the imac downstair it disappears. Help!

    barryfromwashington wrote: 
    would putting up a metal shield by the meter help?
    It might, as long as the shield is grounded. Metallic (such as copper) window screen is often sufficient.
    As mentioned, it would not hurt to file a complaint. The burden of proper shielding should probably belong to Pepco. Among other things, the FCC frowns upon RF leakage and its interfereing with radio communications. Besides, Pepco probably would not want you to affix a shield around their gear - liability issues, etc.
    You could experiment by temporarily hanging a shield-screen on the inside of the wall, behind where the meter transmitter device is located, and see if there is any beneficial change.

  • My iphone 5 has a problem with signal

    My iphone 5 has a problem with signal, it always search for network. I had removed and plug sim card again but it doesn't work. Then I restore the iphone, and an exception was throw "... An unknown error has occured (3)."

    unknow error 3 means the computer has lost communication with the device during the restore. It can be anything from bad cable, USB port, phone hardware etc.
    Since your phone had a signal issue before, it would be your baseband chip faulty and when the restore tries to connect with the baseband chip to check (it does this when you restore) it waits till the chip responds then times out when it doesnt get any response. The restore will try this several times then eventually restart the phone to get out of the loop. As the phone gets restarted (or shutting off) itunes think the phone turned off and throws error 3.
    Go to apple if it's under warranty. If not try to find where they do chip replacement as this is not something that you can do yourself.
