Wireless signal very low

tonc76 · 2007-09-13 19:16:37

I have just allowed a house mate access to my ntl 2mb and have run a speed test here: My problem is that my wireless signal has dropped to very low. It was excellent before this. I thought there would be a drop in signal but not that dramatic. I am 3m from router:confused:

For a 2 Mbps connection, that seems rather good. Upload could be a little higher however.

I missed the rest of the OP's post

Valid point made by AdrianII. Try changing the channel used by your router. Cordless phones, wireless video senders, microwaves and other devices are notorious for causing erratic wifi behaviour.
