What does it mean when it says low wireless signal? and how can i fix it??

Wireless routers do what is called signal shifting. This means as the signal gets weaker (either because of distance or because it has to pass through walls, strong electrical fields etc) the speed is automatically dropped to as low as 6mbps. All the obstacles will kill your signal very quickly as well. You can try moving your router to a better location or invest in a repeater to place between your wireless router and the computer.

Easiest fix is try another location in the house, unless the dead spot means no wireless signal any where. Then make sure the wireless is turned on in the router. Problem is really vague.

This could be the wireless adapter is too weak Try buying an USB wireless adapter

Hi Thanks for your question.
My advice would be to consider moving your router to different place. Put it a bit higher. There's also a lot of products like bigger antennas and wireless range expanders that you could consider buying. Here's link to some of the products so you can have a look what I mean---> click hear You could also try low cost home ways to boost your signal like- Attach a bit of aluminum foil to the router antenna. Position the foil so that the signal bounces off the foil in the direction of your computer. I hope this was helpful. Good Luck

There are a few things that can cause you to lose wireless connection with your wireless router.
1. Weak signal strength, check the signal strength on your wireless card. If it is weak move the wireless router away from brick or concrete walls and if possible locate the wireless router higher up.
2. Have you secured your wireless router from people near your from unauthorized access? ie. change the default password, setup encryption use WPA2 or WPA, change the default SSID, and turn off SSID broadcast, and for added protection, enable MAC address filtering which allows only the MAC address/es of your wireless card/s to connect to your wireless router.
3. You could be getting interference from electrical sources such as air conditioners, arc welders, washing machines etc. If so, the power supply to the wireless routers and computers etc should be connected to a surge protection power board, better still connect your computer equipment to an UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply).
4. Check the channels of the wireless routers and access points in your area and change the broadcast channel on your wireless router to an unused channel or one that is currently used but has the weakest signal strength. This will minimize interference with your wireless router from other wireless routers and access points in your area.

set the wireless router in better coverage performance instead of better power management in the root menu of the wireless router.(seen in the properties tab)

If you can access the router setup page, the best way to boost the signal is to change the wireless channel on the router setup page to a higher channel so the signal will be strong...

Have you tried changing the channel? This might help icrease your signal aslo avoid putting it near wall and if possible put somewhere higher (5-10 ft above the ground)

That is not a configuration problem, that is a signal problem.

It means that the signal does not have enough power to reach all part of the house.

A way to fix this is by installing a repeater, like this one Linksys WRE54G-UK 54Mbps Wireless Range Expander

Your router is a G, not very powerful. An alternative is buying a more powerful N router, like the ones below.

Get a better wireless router.

Change the location your using your laptop in.

Google your problem with hack as a keyword to read about how people can use woks to increase signal strength but watch out for laws about radiation and frequencies.

Consider getting a booster to relay your signal.

Check for wireless phones or radios, pay TVs etc. that could be affecting your signal.
