Title: Weak connection to wireless network
Post by: bgchz on October 28, 2007, 09:15:23 AM

I am using my laptop in a wireless configuration. When I check the available networks it shows an excellent connection is available to my wireless network. However, when I make the actual connection it is very weak.  Any help appreciated.

Well it is normal that the connection is weaker when you are connected then when you check.
Are you sure that you're network just ain't that weak?

The wireless signal strength indicator in Windows is very-very-very inaccurate.
