 CapTel

 shows information  

about the current WiFi setup. 
Check the signal strength 
diagram next to the “Power” 
setting. This indicates how 
strong the signal strength is 
between the 

CapTel

 and your 

wireless router. The more bars 
that are colored in, the stronger  
the signal strength. 

 

 If the signal strength is very low, your phone may be too far 
away from the wireless router to establish a reliable connection. 
Try moving your 

CapTel

 phone to a location closer to your 

wireless router. Then, repeat this process to check the Current 
Network Settings again to determine if the signal strength can  
be increased.
