I just bought a new Toshiba laptop running windows 7. I was able to connect it to my home network, no problem (Belkin N router) but the signal strength drops dramatically as I move away from the router. Where I sit right now is about 40' from the router, and I get between 1 and 3 bars of signal.

At the same time, I have another Toshiba laptop that I bought last year, and it runs 5 bars anywhere in the house.

Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!

Hello and Welcome to TSF!

From your wireless computer pls. run Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector
Here's a more detail guide => Double click on the xirrus icon on your desktop of if you have one running in a corner, just click on it. Tap the Printscreen key on your keyboard, open up Paint then choose Edit from the Menu and select Paste, then SAVE it. Upload and attached it here, click on Go Advanced and locate Manage Attachments Tab and attached the file.

===========================
It is also advisable to download the latest firmware of your router from the manufacturer's site.
