Troubleshooting: Wireless Issues
I am only getting 3 or 4 wireless signal bars on my wireless computer and I am within 10 feet of the wireless
router.
a)
Step back at least 10 feet from the Router and check your signal again. The Router emits high power,
long range Wi-Fi signals that may confuse your wireless adapter signal reading at close range. The speed
and signal are at 100%, however your readout may not be displaying the data correctly.
b)
Change the wireless channel on your Router to find a channel with less interference. Do this for both
2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless networks. To assist in finding the right channel, download the Amped
Wireless Wi-Fi Analytics Tool for your Android or PC.
I am not getting a strong wireless connection from all distances from the wireless router.
a)
Check that your antennas are securely fastened to the Router.
b)
Check if other computers are experiencing the same issue. If not, the wireless adapter in your computer
may be experiencing problems or maybe older and have poor wireless performance.
c)
Avoid placing the Router near or around Microwaves and 2.4GHz wireless phones.
d)
Avoid using wireless channels that are crowded. Change the wireless channel on the Router.
e)
Place the Router in a higher location near the center of your desired coverage location.
