How can I get a stronger signal from my wireless router?

that's a common problem with the linksys. \n\nThey actually have tips for setting up your wireless and positioning the router. \n\nThe best place to put it is in the center of the room.  That's the problem with having a router & wifi in one. can move it far from the modem.\n\nI live on top of a 5 storey building.  and when I go around inspecting things I bring my laptop or pocket pc with me. so getting access was a real problem for me. Now I even have wifi down on the garage. and up to the next block. \n\nI actually bought another (cheap) access point and wired it to the farthest point of my house. and it works. Add that access point to the preffered list that your computer will connect to. \n\nThose $50 antennas dont work. \n\nOh yes the limit of the catv cable to the next hub or access point  is 100 meters dont forget.\n\nCiao

Use WPA, WEP has been cracked for years. You will need to check the docs for your router on how to setup WPA.

There isn't quite enough information to accurately answer your question, but my best guess is that you're not receiving a strong enough signal on the HP to remain connected.  Your wireless transmitter is sending the same to all your devices, but each device has its own receiver and either the HP's isn't quite as good as the others at picking up, or it's degraded by its location in the house.  I'd try the cheapest thing first, and that would be to get a signal boosting antenna for your wireless router.  You can find them as cheap as about ten bucks.  I had a similar problem and this solved it for me.  Good luck, and\n\nPeace,\n\nRadical Geezer

you could buy another access point and bridge the connection but it's probably easier to buy a good dipole antenna or range expander.

Free:  Put your access point in a higher, clearer location.  Away from walls.  Move it to the very center of where you will be accessing it from.\n\nCost: go buy an antenna, or get a more powerful router/access point.  Upgrade to N technology.  This is a bit newer than G and goes farther.

There are few things that can actually stop a wireless signal, one of which is certain types of aluminum. Another thing, for example, is direct distance in feet. A room "right next to it" could actually be a greater physical distance than the room above it.

If you changed the default admin password on the router and enabled encryption, thats a good start.\n\nYou could also set the router to only accept signals from your system by specifiying the MAC address of your NIC

run a splicer from the box outside to the phone router. If they are on the same line, the signal gets weakened.We had the same problem and giving them each thier own dedicated line fixed the issue

You mean like a radio station? You can't really, Radio Station's  run their signals  on different frequencies then a wireless router.\n\nYou don't have the hardware to broadcast that high of a frequency not to mention modulate it. Like FM or AM..\n\nYou can do Internet raido..

reset your router or you can buy a book call Wardriving which will teach you how and pretty much give you step by step how to do it.

Agree with #1, and will expand.\n\nMost consumer available wireless G receivers can receive wireless B signals, but not necessarily. You need to make sure the wireless router is capable of that. Indication is usually well marked on the equipment.

Buy a cantenna. It's a Wifi receiver that boosts the reception range of your PC or laptop's wifi card. They sell for about 50 dollars.

Yes. You can buy a better wifi card. A repeater would work too. What that person meant was there is hardware equimpent you can buy that you hook up, similar to a router. It will allow you to strengthen the signal that is recieved and then 'repeat' it. This will in effect strengthen the signal around the repeater. However, this soulution has its limitations. Your best bet is to buy a better wifi card for the laptop. If that doesnt work. I would ALSO buy a repeater to help things. You would for sure have a better connection then.
