    Wi-Fi range issues when connected to a laptop - Windows 10


    Hey There! I own a Sony Vaio SVE14A16FN, I am experiencing issues regarding WiFi. My router is 3-4 metres away from me and when I am sitting on my couch all my devices except this laptop shows Very Good network range while the laptop can't connect to WiFi due to lack of range. The SSID only appears within 0.5 metres of the router while it is not the case for other devices


    What can I do? and there are probablt two modems in my PC- first one is Intel Centrino N-2200 and other one is from Atheros but for some reason the Atheros one is not showing up in Device Manager and instead of that there are 8 other devices(network adapters)..


    So what I am trying to say is for some reason my Laptop WiFi is having some range issues! I know it's weird.

  3. Extend home router Wi-Fi range using a laptop with two Wi-Fi devices

    I'm running Windows 10 on a laptop which has two Wi-Fi devices, the one that comes with the laptop and a USB Wisacom WS-HP1000 (RTL8187L) which I already had. As my router Wi-Fi range is poor I'm trying to use the laptop to extend the Wi-Fi range all over the house using the laptop as an Access Point but I'm unable to successfully do it.

    What I would like is to use the laptop's integrated Wi-Fi interface to connect to the Wi-Fi router and use the USB RTL8187L device to extend the Wi-Fi range. How should I proceed?

    Wi-Fi range issues when connected to a laptop - Windows 10

    Windows 10 stop automatically connecting to random new wi-fi networks


    Hi,

    I have searched a lot, but all the tutorials I found only explained how to not connect automatically to a known wi-fi network or how to disable wi-fi sense... but this is not what I am looking for...

    PROBLEM:

    • When my laptop (Windows 10 Pro X64) is not connected to a network and the wireless adapter is on, it will automatically connect to any random new unsecured wi-fi network... The only way I have now to avoid this is to disable my wi-fi adapter.

    UNUSEFUL TUTORIALS I FOUND ON THE INTERNET:

    • How to manually uncheck the option for a particular wi-fi network not to connect automatically in Network Properties. This is not what I am looking for. This would suggest that everytime I power my computer. I would have to manually go through all the available wi-fi networks and unclick them all...
    • How to disable Wi-Fi Sense. This is not useful, because I don't even have a Wi-Fi sense option in my computer where the tutorials say it should be.

    EXPECTED BEHAVIOR:

    • I am looking for an option to tell my computer to stop connecting randomly to unknown wi-fi networks like an hyperactive, reckless idiot.

    PERSONAL COMMENT:

    • Honestly, why would any respectable company think that it could be somewhat wise or secure to do this... Anyone's computer could just randomly connect to any hacker's wi-fi network without the user even knowing it...

    Any solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
