WRT610N...very poor signal

I recently purchased a WRT610N to replace my WRT160N because my new 2.4ghz baby monitor took down the wireless internet on the WRT160N. On Linksys' recommendation I also bought a 5ghz wireless adapter for my new Dell laptop, a WEC600N (previously I was using the internal 2.4ghz wireless on it which has now been disabled). I am finding that the WRT610N is giving me very, very poor signal when I'm only two rooms away from it. I have unplugged all of my cordless phones and that does not improve the signal so I do not think they are conflicting. Nothing else is wireless in my house (except the baby monitor which operates on 2.4ghz) so nothing should be conflicting. I have talked with Linksys support twice online and they had me change some settings in the advanced wireless tab but that did not help. Anyone have any ideas? This is very annoying and I hope to get it fixed soon. I can get two bars of signal (and that's about the best I can get) if I'm one floor down but if I'm on the same floor as the router and just two bedrooms away I get such a poor signal I can't even connect. Thanks!

is it antenna problem ? or what???

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

Iphone 5s not picking up home Wi-Fi and/or very poor signals even in downtown area

Switched to Verizon and bought IPhone 5s less than 3 weeks ago. It was fine the first week then suddenly it won't recognized my home wi-fi and got very poor wireless signal. I have my old IPhone 4s and it works fine like a charm for wi-fi. It keeps reloading and not pop up any wi-fi signals. I went to the mall and normally it should pop up multiple wi-fis but it didn't. However my ipad did. I keep trying to reboot it or even reset it to factory settings and still doesn't work. Then yesterday my calls keep dropping in the middle of business conversation. This is unacceptable and no one seems to be helpful at Verizon. I even took screen pictures throughout the day yesterday to show when suddenly my home wi-fi popped up and a minute later it disappear. This also a domino effect for my photo stream, icloud back up, and most importantly my data plan. Now I can't even use my paid home wi-fi and use up all my data plan with Verizon and none of them care. I almost feel like switching to other providers. I also see that this is somewhat common to IPhone 5s with their troubled software or signal chip but not getting help from Verizon is the worst.

I downloaded the Speedtest app on my iPhone and iPad and would randomly test one right after the other. I accumulated about 5 tests a day on each device over the course of 3 days. I set up an appointment at the Genius bar. I told the Genius that I set up my phone as new and then showed him my comparisons of the Speedtest on both devices. He handed me a new (non-refurbished because it hasn't been out for long) phone, no questions. Apparently it was a hardware issue and not an iOS 8 bug.

IMac G5 AirPort Issues - Very poor signal strength.

Disclaimer: I am normally a PC user, but just bought a iMac G5 for my son's bedroom. Problem is that I am having a **** of a time getting the iMac to stay connected to my network long enough to download a newest OS update and in general, it is very slow downloading webpages...clearly not normal...at least I hope not.
My connection is Broadband DSL to my main PC equipped with a Linksys WRT54G Broadband Router. My 2nd PC is connected wirelessly and is much further away than my iMac, but gets better reception.
Therefore, what is the deal with my iMac??? It seems to be super slow downloading the large software updates and has often timed out as they have bogged down.
As a PC guy, I am wondering is it an internal antenna issue in the iMac G5 or is it something as simple as Wi-Fi (AirPort) setting?
If is is a lousy internal antenna, what can I do to boost my signal strength? I was thinking of disabling the Wireless and buying Gaming Console access point to hard wire to the ethernet port. Is that possible? Would AirPort Express device be good for anything?
Help...I am ready to return my first Apple and go with a Dell!!!
Solutions???

Thanks Rod. Your comments were very helpful...
Apologies for the dash of sarcasm, M., but these things usually are just that simple to get running, and your Dell jokes started me down that path you know . Yes, I should have resisted the temptation.
Screen orientation really can make a difference in a low signal situation. So can simply changing the channel on which your wireless router operates (have you tried that yet?). You also can't assume that because a computer in a neighbouring room gets gets adequate signal , the one that you are working on will too. Walls, power circuits, nearby electrical gear, etc etc can all have highly localised effects with this stuff.
If, as it appears, you have adequate signal strength (I thought you indicated initially that you didn't have) and the problem is not related to local interference on the channel which the router is using (that's why you need to try a different channel) , then its time to check other aspects of the setup, both of the router and the iMac. The problem could be caused at either end.
Lets take the router first. The WRT54G usually actually works pretty well with Macs. In some cases, however, it may need a firmware update from the Linksys site. There have been quite a few different models of this particular router produced, so you'll need to check the downloads section at Linksys support for the correct one.
The best people here to answer this sort of stuff are probably Henry B. and Frank Canzolino . They both spend much of their time over in the Airport forums. If a firmware update for the router , or a simple channel change, doesn't fix the problem then I'd try posting there with "WRT54G and iMac G5 AE " displaying in the subject line.
As far as toast goes, I personally recommend asking the power company to drop the voltage for a few minutes. Saves all that time wasted knob twiddling.
Cheers

VERY poor signal strength

I'm lucky if I get one bar at home, often getting the connection lost message every few minutes. We have another iphone in the household though that is absolutely fine.
Is this something that is supposed to improve after a couple of days (I did transfer my number from an old provider, and I still keep getting texts saying "We haven't set picture messaging up yet"), or could something be wrong with the phone?

Re picture messaging: I believe that's coupled to MMS which AT&T does not yet support. Should not be related to signal strength.
Re signal strength: I'd try a full reset (hold down the Home button below the screen and the power button at the top simultaneously). You might also try cycling Wi-Fi and 3G on and off in the Settings: I've seen my signal low and jump back to normal after changing such settings.
If anything my phone signals at home are better (consistently full bars) than they were with the 2G model. And 3G tests out as about 8x faster than EDGE, but substantially slower than Wi-Fi, here.

VERY VERY poor Signal in the 75140 area

We are having a very hard time with making calls and receiving.
Calls Drop after 2 rings, calls drop in middle of calls at random times, When Making calls you can punch the number to call and hit make call and its just silence but the counter is counting how long you've been on the call.
This is our only phone we have is cells, no house phone please fix asap.

almost been 7 days and no answers I would like to know.
Thanks

Live in an area which has very poor signal any hel...

Hi I live in an area which can only get 512k speed. The estate I live in has about 200 houses in it and they all get equally bad internet. Is there anything I can do to get BT inifnity into our area as my it ois very frustrating have such a slow internet speed?

People that live in outlying and rural areas will eventually benefit from the 21cn initiative, the rural agenda is high on central government policy for broadband in UK, but in real terms you'll probably find that those same areas will be the last to benefit as its being rolled out. Obviously it's clearly more commercially benefitial to BT to cater for highly populated areas first, because of cost IMHO.

Very poor signal at home

Is there anything that can be done to in prove my signal. At my house I get maybe two bars on 3g, inside one if I'm lucky. But at my mailbox I get almost five bar on 4g. It's only a half mile in distance. I really need better signal as my phone is the only Internet option that is available.

Pricey but we've installed one of these and it worked great, the only one that plays nicely with Verizons network. The downside is you need a highspeed internet connection, but we went from a bar or two, to 5 full bars.

Very poor signal

Z3hasverypoorsignalcapacity.itneedstoimprovesothatitcanreachoutanywhere

I've been having the same problem since I bought my iPhone(first week of july), I had my phone replaced once for this problem and I still have the same problem.
I had a lot of smarthphones in the past and the iPhone is the best smartphone/phonr thay I ever had, I really love my phone, but the reception problem is killing me, and like you guys said it's not AT&T because I had other phones and they have better reception that the iPhone, but AT&T is not the best service provider either, I used to have verizon and the reception was way better, but I still think that this particular issue is a problem with the iphone and not with AT&T becausr like I said before I test othet AT&T phones in the same areas where I have problems with the iPhone and the reception is wat better than the iphone.
I hope they fix this problem vecause I really love my iPhone.

HH3 Poor Signal Upstairs

Hi
I have BT Infinity installed which comprises of the HH3 and modem downstairs.
I live in a two bed semi-detached and my devices and connections are as follows:
Downstairs/Connection
Xbox/No problems
Kindle Fire/No problems
Laptop/No problems
Mobile phone: No problems
Upstairs/Connection
PC/Interimittent (ok most of the time but can struggle where a connection drops altogether)
Kindle Fire/No connection (sometimes connects but then more or less immediately disconnects, when connected only 6mbps)
Laptop/No problems
Mobile phone: No problems
I have tried changing channels on the router which has little effect on the Kindle. I have downloaded a wifi analyser which shows that the bedrooms upstairs have a very poor signal reaching them (although the mobile and laptop seem to deal with this very well, and the PC most times).
Can anyone offer any advice to try and get the signal better upstairs? I would have thought a house such as mine should easily get signals in all arears from the HH3 but obviously not.
Thanks in advance

I have had a look at the wireless access points and the TP looks good. Can someone explain in n00b language what happens?
Will it plug into my router downstairs and push a stronger signal around the house? If so, its just a more powerful router then?
Confused..
You cannot get a more powerful wireless router, the maximum transmitted power is restriced by law to 100mW.
If you read my document you can see that there are two options.
Wireless repeater that boosts the signal in an areas that has a poor signal.
Or
Extra wireless point upstairs, connected over the mains and plugs into the home hub. See the last diagram on this
page.
The second option is normally the best, as it gives a faster connection, but has the extra cost of the powerline adapters.
You can try the first option, but the repeater needs to be somwhere upstairs, where there is still a usable signal, perhaps in a location above the home hub.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Poor signal htc one m8

Very poor signal Htc one M8. started about 3 weeks ago. per customer service at Verizon a tree or bird is the cause of my issue. Not the only one with this issue in my area. Any thoughts or suggestions. Thinking of leaving Verizon wireless to another carrier.

I apologize for the issues, tecanic1. However, being in a pocket of an extended network can be why the data and service can fluctuate. Have you tried removing and reinserting the sim card to reset your connection? If not, just that a try and also confirm the exact zip could of where you're located besides the 01520.
Thank you!

Orig iPhone call drops & very low signal w/ latest update since 3GS release

For those who have the original iPhone...have any of you been experiencing A LOT of dropped calls and also VERY LOW signal, like 1 & 2 bars? Not just in certain areas either but EVERYWHERE.
After the 3GS release an update of iPhone software was released some time later for the older phones. After I updated my original iPhone to the latest software release through iTunes after the 3GS release my original iPhone now has very poor signal and a lot of dropped calls. I've visited several AT&T stores for resolution. There insufficient answer, perform a network reset. I do this several times a day and it has no positive effect. I still drop calls, some calls don't connect and extremely poor signal.
I also noticed that the internet is working slower, both using the Edge network and the wireless in my own home.
Moreover, I've been researching the internet and finding a lot of other people experiencing the same issues. Mostly becuase the new 3G & 3GS are media hogs eating up the resources & capacity of AT&Ts network capabilities. I've even found that there are 2 class action lawsuits against Apple & AT&T about the poor network operation, tethering limitation and Apple not allowing Google to post an app on iTunes store.
I think the orginal iPhone updated to the latest software release from iTunes that is meant for 3G & 3GS is causing the poor performance to the original iPhone. I know dropped calls & poor signal is AT&T's responsibility but I feel that Apple has an obligation to it's customers to make sure all models, including the original iPhone, are up to par or above average performance when releasing new software, firmware & hardware. I think at this time Apple & AT&T have not completely verified and validated that the original iPhone still performs well with the 3G & 3GS updates.
If Apple or AT&T or both don't remedy my phone network issues to prevent dropped calls and improve the very poor signal then I will be selling the iPhone and switching to a Blackberry with Verizon service. I had Verizon before and ONLY dropped calls in 2 deadspots. I could bet my life I would drop a call driving through that zone, but so does T-Mobile & AT&T. Other than that, Verizon is without a doubt the best cellular service I have had.
Get with the program Apple & AT&T, make your customers happy and fix the network issues so original iPhone users won't leave AT&T to other services. Note, I was thinking of spending $300 and upgrading to the new 3GS but now I'm thinking of spending less and switching to a Blackberry with a more reliable cellular service, Verizon.
So, is Apple & AT&T going to lose another valuable customer?
P.S.
Yes, I paid $600 for my 8GB original iPhone. Loved it til now. Geez, I'm ashamed to say Apply may have finally made a bad product that does not stand the test of time.
Best Regards,
Greg Light

Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than when I moved here in February 2013? I only get one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all.

Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than it was when I moved here in February 2013? I get only one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all. Calling to ask the question results in a vortex of questions that have little to do with the problem and no resolution or answer.

I have a Droid Ultra phone. The signal reduction seems to only be in the general area of my home. If I go downtown, the signal improves to what it once was at home. Everything at my home is as it was when the signal was good, including cable TV service. There has been no new construction in the area that I know of.
Thanks for trying to resolve the issue. Just this morning while trying to view web pages, I found that I could not load any.

I seem to have very poor wifi signal strength,is there any way to boost my signal

I seem to have very poor wifi signal strength,is there any way to boost my signal

If you gave some information on what network equipment you are using (make, model, version) and where you are experiencing signal problems it would help in giving advice.

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.
