V570 Won't Connect Unless in Same Room as Modem

My Lenovo V570 will not connect to a newtork unless it is super close to the Modem.  Like the same room.  I move to my bedroom, and it won't connect.  I went to a hotel this weekend, and it would not connect to the Hotel's network.  My friend had a laptop in the hotel and had no problems.  Why is my connecting ability so limited?  Do I need some type of booster, or  more powerful network card?  It came with an Intel MyWifi Card.  (Not sure how to find the details of the WiFi card)
This is starting to get to the point of frustrating.

if it's antenna issue, i think there's nothing you can do. still, check if other computers/wireless devices can connect to the internet.
( my opinion it's antenna issue )

  • 2 apple tv's won't connect to the same network

    Hi I have 2 apple tv's but they won't connect at the same time.  It's not the internet I'm running at 20.63 Mbps.  But if on atv is connected in one room the other will pick up the network and signal strength is at 5 bars but subnet mask, router and DNS all show n/a. If I go unplug the other atv it connects. What gives, any help would be much appreciated.

    Check the settings in the router.
    I suspect connecting one or both via ethernet would resolve the issue.  Also, if the ATVs have the same name, that may be part of the issue.

  • Bought an ipad 2 for christmas but it won't connect to my wireless. My modem/router is an Arris 653 B eurospec DOCSIS. The wifi works on an unsecured network I have in the bldg but not my own network. Anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm not familiar with your router but are there any buttons on the front or back of it because sometimes you need to pair the router in order for your PC, laptop, phone or iPad to connect wirelessly with it?
    From the routers I have used there are normally two buttons on the front or back (apart from the power button), pressing one of them allows you a few minutes to enter the required password on your iPad. Best look at the instructions for the router.

  • Macbook will not connect to Wifi unless  in same room with router

    My daughters 5 year old Macbook will not connect to the internet unless she is in the same room as the router. The internet works perfectly for all the other computers in the house. Has anyone had this issue?

    There may be some source of wireless interference. It could be radio interfernce or physical interfernce. You can try changing the radio channel on the network.
    Otherwise, the issue would relate to the MacBook computer. Follow HT4628 for some troubleshooting.

  • IPad and iPhone won't connect to home network with new modem

    I had to replace a modem today and after finally getting my computer to connect wirelessly, now my iphone and ipad will not connect.  My wifi names did not change, nor did the router - just my modem.

    Thanks for the suggestion; already tried that. So I just reset the printer and, even though it already recognized my desktop and laptops, it now sees the iphone and ipad. All is well...

  • Safari won't connect without signing on to AOL

    I’m having a problem with Safari not working. I have had my imac G5 for a couple of weeks now and It’s been working great until yesterday. I use safari and AOL with a router. Safari is my default browser. Everything was working fine except now Safari won’t connect unless I’m logged into AOL. If I’m in AOL Safari works fine only slower than normal. If I log out of AOL, Safari quits working. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Not sure what happened. Everything else seems to be working fine.
    Thanks,
    randy

    Just as suddenly as Safari stopped working, it started again. The only thing I did differently was sign in to the main administrator and started Safari from there. Maybe I needed to do that after I repaired permissions and reset the modem. anyhow, it's working ... for now.
    Thanks

  • Time Capsule won't connect to ISP

    TC won't connect to ISP (Charter) after resetting modem due to lost Charter connection. Have reset TC using all methods suggested in troubleshooting (pushing TC reset for one, five seconds, unplugging and pushing reset during plug in). What gives?

    Try the following, in order, checking for Internet access after each step, until resolved:
    1. If the modem has a reset switch, use it to reset the modem. Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the modem to initialize.
    2. Remove power from the modem. If it has a backup battery, remove this as well. Wait 5-10 minutes. Replace the battery, and add power back to the modem.
    3. Perform a complete power recycle of your network components as follows:
    Modem/Router Power Recycling - Quick
    o Power-off the modem, Time Capsule (TC), & computer(s); Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the TC; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    If this fails to get the modem to "recognize" the Internet router, then try the "Full" version.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling - Full
    o Power-off the modem, TC, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    o Power-on the modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the TC; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    4. Contact your ISP to have them perform a "modem reset."

  • Yoga 2 - WIn 8.1 Update Problem!!! Internet explorer "This page won't connect"

    Purchased a Yoga 2 13" last week running Windows 8.1
    Everything was working fine until today.  I downloaded Firefox.  I'm not sure if that caused the problem.  I uninstalled Firefox and the problem still persists.
    I can connect to the internet.  My email and Facebook are working fine.  It is just Internet Explorer that won't connect.
    I have rebooted my modem/router
    Deleted the history and cached info for Explorer
    I don't see any other settings about maybe working offline.
    Any suggestions will be really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Brian
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It happens on other networks too.
    I did a system restore and that solved the problem.  Until the windows update went through again.
    It is the update that is causing the problem.
    This laptop is less than a week old.  how can I figure out what in the update is causing the problem?

  • IPhone 4S doesen't connect to wi-fi unless it's in the same room. Please Help!!!

    I have an iPhone 4S and i have recently upgraded to iOS 6.1.2 and I am experiencing problems with connecting to my home wi-fi. The iphone detects the wi-fi network (2 bars) from my room but when i click on it it says "unable to connect". The iphone only connects when i am in the same room as the wi-fi router. I thought it may be a signal strength issue, but my iPad and  iPhone 4 both connect smoothly from my room and all other rooms and have no issues at all (Both running iOS 6.1.2).

    I am having the same issues plus some. I have the S4 and after researching it here on Apple Support am convinced it was due to these last updates. So many comments with the same issues! I stopped by Sprint and asked how I could revert back or uninstall the updates. They informed me that wasn't possible and unless I was willing to shell out the cash to upgrade I was stuck with it. If this doesn't get resolved I will no longer be an Apple user of any sort. It's just not right!

  • IPad2 will not connect to wifi unless it is in the same room

    I live in the UK.
    Yesterday I bought a new ipad2.
    It will only connect to my wifi when it is in the same room.
    When it is less than 2 metres form the router, it drops one bar, and when I go out of the room it drops connection completely.
    I have an iphone and that connects to wifi from anywhere in the house.
    I connect to wifi via BT and a BT router.
    Please does anyone have amy suggestions to help?
    Thank you.

    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

  • WiFi (WLAN) problem - in the same room a iOS 5 device connects, iOS 6 not

    Hi all,
    I won't say that it's a proof for the iOS 6 WiFi/WLAN problem. BUT, it's evident that my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 sees all WLAN-networks and connects - my new iPad with iOS 6 doesn't! And I'm using the two devices in the same room. In addition my new iPad didn't have connection problems before updating to iOS 6.
    Apple Software Engineers - please help and release the next update to fix it
    Best regards

  • My macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it.

    my macbook is connecting to a wifi network, but my ipad in the same room does not recognize it.  I have reset the ipad settings, etc.  Any ideas?

    Try a restart of your entire system. Shut down both your modem and your router if they are two separate devices. Then restart each item one at a time with about three minutes between each device.
    Also reset the iPad by pressing and holding the Start and Home keys together, ignoring there'd slider until the Apple logo appears.

  • "another device is using the same ip address.." - iOS devices won't connect to AEBS wifi.

    I've got a Motorola modem/gateway - 3360 from WalMart.  I have the AEBS working in bridge mode connecting my iMac & Printer fine, but my iOS devices won't connect. 
    While troubleshooting & trying all types of settings, I was able to get EITHER the iMac or the iOS devices connected to internet, but not both at same time.
    Then I noticed I am getting "another device is using the same ip address.." message.
    I have changed the AEBS ip address & had been able to get either the iMac or iOS devices working depending on which ip address I use. 
    BUT now, all my iOS devices dont connect to the internet regardless of the ip address of the AEBS.
    All my iOS devices see the network, and accept the network password, but they do not connect to internet, circle just keeps spinning...
    Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks for any assistance,
    Dave

    It looks like may have to go back to square one and delete my network & set it up from scratch if I don't figure it out.
    If you do go this route, I would like to make a suggestion for your consideration, and that is to assign static IP addresses to devices that are "permanent" on your network or ones you want to make sure can be reachable at all times. These (again) would be servers, routers, wireless access points, network printers/scanners, NAS devices, etc.
    I would recommend the following IP addressing scheme as a baseline and you are certainly free to deviate in any way you see fit to meet your networking requirements:
    Reduce the number of IP handed out by DHCP. By default, most routers will provide 100-200 private IP addresses within their DHCP leasing scope. The AirPort, by default, assigns 10.0.1.2 thru 10.0.1.200 via DHCP. Your Motorola may assign 192.168.0.2 thru 192.168.0.150. Either way, I would reduce this to no more than fifty (50) total which should provide you with plenty of addresses even if you are hosting gaming convention at your home.
    I use the following IP address scheme for the "permanent" network clients:
    Network Printers: 10.0.1.200 - 209
    NAS Devices: 10.0.1.210 - 219
    Wireless Access Points or routers reconfigured as bridges: 10.0.1.220 - 229
    Servers: 10.0.1.230 - 239
    With the "permanent" devices pre-assigned with static Private IP address that are outside of the DHCP range, you shouldn't ever get an IP address conflict again.

  • My magic mouse won't connect to Yosemite 10.10.2 I've tried 2 different mice with the same outcome.

    I have an early 2013 MBP with Yosemite 10.10.2. Connectivity with the magic mouse has steadily gotten worse, now it won't connect at all. I've tried connecting with two different mice, one about 5 years old and one about 2 years old, both with the same result. Any one else have this issue?

    Hello rachste,
