Wifi signal problem

munjo · 08-24-2008, 03:22 AM

Hi,

From the last 2 years I have been receiving a wifi signal from one end of the builiding to the other,
last month, a new security system was installed in the unit next to me and since then I am not getting a signal in some places.
Is there any way to get around this?
Could it be possible that the new security system is interrupting the signal?

Help appreciated.

Thank You

sounds like the security system is causing the problem. You may need to purchase something to extend your wireless range. You have options from a new antenna on the router to signal boosters. You can also try changing the wireless channel on the router and see if it helps.

if the security system has required that new metal cabinets be built or perhaps are using similar frequencies for wireless links as used on your system , then it's quite possible ..

Try changing the frequencies that you use to another channel, see if any of them give you a better coverage ..
