Decreasing Wireless Signal
I'm sure this has been asked previously, but after doing a quick search, I realized I would have to dig too long to find my answer.
I have an I6000 that I've been very happy with and got the Intel 2915 internal wireless card. I know that a lot of people have had issues with the intel wireless cards. I have noticed recently that after I've been connected to a wireless network for a little while, the signal decreases and if I let it eventually drops all together. If I cycle the card with the fn+f2 trick, then my signal returns with "excellent" strength, then starts to gradually drop again.
Will a simple driver update do the trick? The driver I have is from Intel 10/21/2004.
Could there be something else that is causing this? I can work around it for now by cycling the connection, but it's getting a little annoying. Please help! Thanks!
- Personally I would get the latest drivers from intel. They help that problem a lot -- especially in single access-point situations.In multiple access point areas (my college for instance), it's a bit of a different story -- ensure that RTS/CTS is used for mixed mode protection and then tinker around a bit with the roaming aggressiveness setting.
- Alright guys, I've been working on my wireless connection at work today and I'm still having the same decreasing signal problem even after installing the new drivers. Any other suggestions? I'd like to avoid a call to Dell tech support if at all possible. Thanks for your help!
