  1. Desktop Wifi Signal is inexplicably low, is it caused by a windows update? Please help.


    I have a desktop computer with a wifi adapter, and my wifi signal is always at 2 bars and for some seconds it goes to 3 bars but then goes 1 bar and at times disconnects. The wifi I am connected with is in a room next to mine, I live in a compound and the wifi modem is in another room separated by a stone wall.
    At first I thought maybe it is because of the wall, but my sister who has a laptop always has 3 to full wifi signal. Her room, where she uses her laptop is farther than the wifi source and is separated by 2 walls, compared to mine which is closer and only a wall apart. [See picture for better visual understanding]

    My android phone has no problem with wifi signal in my room, it's just the desktop computer. I checked the wifi adapter driver, there is no rollback option. Is there a windows update that could affect this?

    Please help. I will try any fix. Thanks in advance.

    Inexplicable restarts

    Thanks for your patient help and analysis, zbook. I'll step through some of your suggestions over the next few days - there's a lot to do and some look a bit hairy! That is, for a PC that is working sweetly right now...

    Meanwhile, as requested in the BSOD thread (sorry, I misunderstood and posted there by mistake), I've attached both ZIP files.
    --------------------
    One step I did try right away was to answer your question about whether my BIOS is up-to-date. I had no success at the AMI site but did get some info from this commercial site:

    It was one of the '9' (I counted 10) listed here:

    WiFi bars are low on my computer but my other computer WiFi bars are high

    Since the devices are in the same location and one device is getting a low signal, we would like to further clarify the concern with the following questions below:

    • The computer that is getting a low signal, is it connecting using a external WiFi adapter or does it have a the WiFi built in?
    • If you are using a external WiFi adapter, have you attempted to plug the device in another port on your computer?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you attempted?

    Regards.
