WRT 300N signal problems.

Hi i have just installed a WRT300N wireless router into my house.
My Laptop is working fine, 100% signal from the router and all is well.
However, the PC in the garage (literally 10 meters away) is showing little to no signal.
I have used the WMP300N PCI router card inside the PC, in an attempt to make the signal better.
The program that came with the PCI card is showing 70-90% signal strength, but still the internet is choppy to say the least.
Disconnecting and reconnection at random.
Any idea where my problem can be??
I have been assured that this router is more than enough for getting the signal over the space between the router and the PC.
Please any help.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Poor wireless connections are often caused by radio interference from other 2.4 GHz devices. This includes wireless phones, wireless baby monitors, Bluetooth (including Bluetooth game controllers), microwave ovens, wireless mice and keyboards, and your neighbor's wireless network. Even some 5+ GHz phones also use the 2.4 Ghz band. Unplug these devices, and see if that corrects your problem.
In your router, try a different channel. There are 11 channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Usually channel 1, 6, or 11 works best. Check out your neighbors, and see what channel they are using. Because the channels overlap one another, try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors. For example, if you have a strong neighbor on channel 9, try any channel 1 through 4.
Hope this helps.

Problems w/ WRT 300N

Hello, I have been experiencing decreased connection strength through my WPC300N wireless notebook adapter using a WRT 300N wireless router. At boot-up, the signal strength will be low, with 100+Mbps as the speed. After a few minutes it drops to 54 Mbps, then 13 or 11 Mbps, then finally 2 and 1 Mbps, signal strength very low. The internet is as slow as molasses at this point. I am using windows XP with all service packs. I live in a two story house, with the router on the second floor. However, our old Wireless G router (can't remember the model, it didn't have any speed or range boost though) would get to the laptop where its at now. I thought a WRT300N would be better, but I am having this problem now. My laptop with a Wireless G card holds up at 54 Mpbs all the time. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks a bunch in advance.

No, the changes did not make a difference. Sorry for the long delay in response. The signal is still dropping off very badly. I am still having no problems connecting the WRT 300N off my really old laptop that is using an old Linksys Wireless G card. In fact, the other day I was downloading two programs at 100Kbps EACH!
BUT, the laptop using the Wireless N card is still slowing to a snails pace within 10 minutes of connecting to the Router. I dont know what else to do, I am thinking of trying different locations for the router to see if I can get a more stable connection. The 14 day return period has long since passed, so I have to find a way to make this work. But as of now, I am still having problems.

Problem with Wireless settings in WRT 300N (V2)

Greetings,
I've just managed to reset the WRT 300N to default settings and have setup the internet conncection etc and home network ... BUT no matter how I've fiddled with the wireless settings I cannot get any of the laptops or mobile phones to connect wirelessly to the network.
The Windows software on the laptops 'finds' the router OK but for some reason the router seems unwilling to supply an IP address.
I've checked ALL of the settings that I can think of, and all are correct ... well, all are exactly the same as my old router which worked perfectly.
It's something that I think muxt be to do with the security settings.
Can anyone offer any suggestions ??
THanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try the following steps:
# Open up the browser and on the address bar type 192.168.1.1 that will open up the Router setup page.
# Then Click on wireless Tab select, Wireless Network mode “Mixed”, Radio Band to 20 MHz only and Standard Channel to 1, 3, 6, 9, and 11. Click Save Settings.
#Adjust the following advanced wireless settings:
~~ Lower the beacon interval from 100 to 75
~~ Lower the fragmentation threshold from 2346 to 2306
~~ Lower the RTS threshold from 2347 to 2307
Then check the status..
Here is the link for connecting the wireless network: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=32036bdcd9dd44ec94f94fc5f6da666f_Connecting_wirele...

WRT 300N - WRT 600N

After all I received 4 linksys wireless router n series.
2 WRT 300n
2 WRT 600n
I decide to test those routers in LAB and then migrate our buisiness medium platform from G to N.
Lets See what happened.
1- In open office env with 200 square meter I have weak signal at corner that reduce my bandwidth to 54 Mb/s(from 270 Mb/s).I test coverage area against WRT 54g and I get Incredible result.there is no more coverage except that you forget bandwidth because it Reduce it to 11 Mb/s.
2- I used Solarwinds Orion to get Throughput from this router and again I find a new incredible thing my dashboard show 150 Mb/s at 2 meters distance between my computer and router.
3- I decide to use site survey to plot a map of coverage area incredibly in close building area i see a circle with 10 meter in blue witch means I can use 270 Mb/s at this range only.
4- After All I tried to bridge two routers together I impact with a phenomena these routers series cant bridge together and there is no sign of option access point or bridge in web base console.But I read in Linksys catalog that this models are enhanced Access Points.
5- After all problems with signaling,bandwidth,Bridging ...
I can only say that linksys produce a product with many weakness in hardware and software.

There is always a reality check between what marketing materials claim (a perfect test in their lab) and a real-world test. Having been on the vendor side for many years, I have seen this situation many of times.
Hopefully the speeds will be good enough for your deployment situation. What caught my eye was your mention of Solarwinds. I have been a long time user of Orion and the Engineering Toolset. Recently I came across PacketTrap Networks (www.packettrap.com) for scanning and diagnostic tools. They also have a monitoring dashboard that I have been using for my critical devices. It was the easiest dashboard to set up that I have experienced. To top it off, they have a free version - gotta love that price. www.packettrap.com/download. Good luck, I feel your pain.

Sure Signal Problems

Our Vodafone Sure Signal stopped working last month. Vodafone have checked what they needed to and said all is OK. They have advised I speak to our ISP(BT) and check the router settings. Tried doing this through Live Chat, told they are "not trained" for this!
Can I see what the settings are without going through BT?
Appreciate any help
Cheers

One of the other users on these threads may be able to help with the settings.
If you are on option 1, then your IP address may be shared, which may stop it working. Did you change anything a month ago, like enabling Parental controls?

Galaxy Nexus Signal Problem

Ok, I've had dozens of Verizon Phones but something is going really wrong with the Galaxy Nexus that I own. It started out as the best device that I have ever owned. Then I had a problem with it non-related to the signal issues. The tier two tech support had me do a software update on the phone and ever since, the 4G, 3G and phone signal truly struggle. Calls are dropped. Texts wont go through. And internet is often inaccessible. This is all intermittent and untraceable as far as a pattern goes. So Verizon sent me a replacement device. It was worse...to the point that it would not connect to anything reliably, including wifi. They sent me another device and it was more of the same. I am now out of town and having the problems continue with my original phone. A third device is waiting at my house for what Verizon thinks will solve the problem. I'm hoping it is the answer.
Who else is having these problems. Tier Two tells me that this is not a common problem with this phone. It's hard to believe because, I am 0-4 on this device. Also, if you are having problems, did you start having problems in July/August when an update was possibly released?
Let's hear from you!

I just bought a nexus fully aware of the signal problems but was assured by best buy that it is a sim card issue and they would repeatedly replace the sim card until it worked. I am running 4.0.4 the phone was updated before I bought it or came with the update as it was in an unopened box brand new. I have not had any issues other than I cant seem to get more than 2 bars of service in places where my old phone had full signal. so for those of you waiting for an update it may fix some issues but as far as I am concerned it does not fix the signal problem. I bought 3 of these phones and all three have not gone over 2 bars in multiple locations. no other issues though, phone is very fast and easy to operate and battery is what to be expected on this type of phone as far as I am concerned.

Update to iOS 5 Signal Problems?

hi, i was wondering if anyone experienced some signal problems after ios 5 update? I did and when i was using the beta, it gave me full bars and never dropped calls but after i updated to the final version, my calls started to drop and text messages wouldn't send or recieve. Just wondering if anyone else notices this? I think that the iOS 5 Beta 7 is better then this final version..

I didn't notice any signal problems until today. Today my phone (iPhone 4 AT&T) has become virtually unusable. I upgraded on Wednesday and post upgrade didn't have any major problems other than the occasional application crash. Today my phone will not hold onto a signal for more than 30 seconds. Even if I'm sitting still, the signal drops and the phone goes into searching, no signal and finally reacquires and the cycle starts again. Battery drain is rapid, I'm guessing because it's constantly having to go into signal search mode. Twice the phone has had a hard lockup today where only the home-top button press would resolve.
At this point, I would recommend people not upgrade their iPhone 4 to the new OS. Stability is an issue in many apps and now this signal problem is making my smartphone feel quite stupid.

Signal problems and MES

South Africa - Pretoria: I got my BB 9300 end February and since then I have a signal problem, it is always searching for signal, it will go on SOS and when somebody calls me I can talk for 30 seconds and then it say "call failed". They can't hear me when they call me and I can't hear them. I had the BB Curve 8900 before and had no problems. We have 5 Vodacom phones, 3 cell c, 2 mtn and 1 Heita and they have no problems with signal. My daughter has the bb 8520 as well with no problems. Secondly it is on BES in stead of BIS, I took it to Vodacom but they van't help me.

Wrt54g strange signal problem

I have a new wrt54g and I have a strange signal problem. When I am in the house close to the router I only have a good signal (3 bars) but when I take the notebook outside or all the way in the back bedroom I have a excellent signal (5 bars). I am thinking that something in the house might be interfereing with the signal but I have tried changing the channel and still have only 3 bars when in the house, and 6 bars when I take the notebook outside or to the back bedroom. I am using wap but I tried disabling it and still only 3 bars when around the router.
Any thoughts, and thanks in advance.

I tried it all but still the same but I did find this, when I take then computer in the back of the house or outside the signal goes up to excellent and stays there even if i take it back in the front of the house where I previously only had a good signal. But the only way to get a excellent signal is to take it far off from the router but once it does get a excellent signal it will stay there even when I take back around the router, crazy I know.
Any more advise or thoughts?

IOS5 signal problem on iPhone 4

Updated my iphone 4 to iOS5 yesterday and today I'm having lots of problems with low signal.
The signal seems to fluctuate between one bar, then to 'searching', before saying 'no signal' and then it shoots up to full signal temporarily before going through the whole cycle again.
Phone calls keep getting cut off because of this. Restarting the phone seems to fix the problem but only for a while.
Never had any signal problems before with this phone, even with the whole antenna thing.
Anyone else having similar problems? Found some other threads online but most seem to be for jailbroken phones... mine isn't.
Cheers, any help would be great!

Tried restoring to factory settings yesterday and that seems to have cleared it up. Looked at my phone once last night to see 'no signal' but I restarted it and has been fine since. Have made phone calls and used the internet today and the signal hasn't dropped (which is what was happening before). Its a pain in the arse but at least it's working for the time being.
When I couldn't get signal someone rang O2 and Apple for me. Both said it was the first they had heard about this and to try re-installing the software. I'd already done the restore to factory settings by this point though so not sure if that would help.

I am having wireless wifi signal problems on my ipad 2 64GB 3G

All other gadgets and laptop is connecting easily with good signal strength but my ipad 2 is having signal problems, unless i dont sit right in front or very near to the router i cannot have enough signals, does this issue come under warranty ? as ipad 2 64gb is **** expensive and its useless if you cannot even browse anything on it.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
If none of the above suggestions work, look at this link.

On the iphone4 (not s)did they fix the signal problem and if they did when did they fix it how long ago (date roughly)

on the iphone4 (not s) did they fix the signal problem and if they did when did they fix it how long ago (date roughly)???????

Apple has not made any changes to the iPhone 4 since its release. The over 80 million people with the phones don't seem to think there's a serious problem.

Im using phone 3GS 32GB, my signal was very poor but whenever i insert my sim to other phone, there's no signal problem.. When i change position, the signal suddenly dropped. my software version now is 4.3.5.

GoodReaderUSB originally worked by transferring files to a special location on a user’s iPhone, which iPhone’s GoodReader app was able to access. However, accessing this location was a violation of Apple’s iPhone SDK Agreement, because the app had to access files outside its own private storage space, which is forbidden by Apple.
Because of this, your only choice to fix this. at this point, may be to restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes and NOT from backup. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone. Unfortunately, ALL saved data on your phone will be lost.
