2 Tips for improving your wireless network If Microsoft Windows XP notifies you about a weak signal, it probably means your connection isn t as fast or as reliable as it could be. You may even lose your connection completely in some parts of your home. Try some of these tips for extending your wireless range and improving your wireless network performance.. Position your wireless router in a central location When possible, place your wireless router in a central location in your home. If your wireless router is against an outside wall of your home, the signal will be weak on the other side. Don't worry if you can t move your wireless router, because there are other ways to improve your connection.. Move the router off the floor and away from walls and metal objects Metal, walls, and floors will interfere with your router s wireless signals. The closer your router is to these obstructions, the more severe the interference, and the weaker your connection will be. 3. Replace your router s antenna The antennas supplied with your router are designed to be omni-directional, meaning they broadcast in all directions. If your router is near an outside wall, half of the wireless signals will be sent outside your home. Most routers don t allow you to increase the power output. Upgrade to a hi-gain antenna that sends the signals in only one direction. You can aim the signal in the direction you need most. 4. Replace your computer s wireless network adapter Wireless network signals must be sent both to and from your computer. Sometimes, your router can broadcast strongly enough to reach your computer, but your computer can t send signals back. To improve this, replace your PC card-based wireless network adapter with a USB network adapter that uses an external antenna. Laptops with built-in wireless typically have excellent antennas and don t need to have their network adapters upgraded. 5. Add a wireless repeater Wireless repeaters extend your wireless network range without any new cables. Just place the wireless repeater halfway between your wireless access point and your computer, and you ll get an instant boost to your wireless signal strength. 6. Change your wireless channel Wireless routers can broadcast on different channels. Just like you ll sometimes hear interference on one radio station while another is perfectly clear, sometimes one wireless channel is clearer than others. Change your wireless router s channel through your router s configuration page to see if your signal strength improves. You don t need to change your computer s configuration, because it will automatically detect the new channel. 7. Reduce wireless interference If you have cordless phones in your home, your computer might not be able to hear your router. Avoid wireless electronics that use the.4 GHz frequency. Look for cordless phones that use the 5.8 GHz or 900 MHz frequencies. 8. Update your firmware or your network adapter driver Router manufacturers regularly make free improvements to their routers. To get the latest firmware updates for your router, visit your router manufacturer s web site. Similarly, network adapter vendors occasionally update the software that Windows XP uses to communicate with your network adapter, known as the driver. To get the updates, visit Microsoft Update.
