wifi help

[amazingkevin]

I'm finally able to get back on ssv by wifi but the range of my usb adapter is giving me a 1 bar signal.Any quick fixes.The computer ,(pc) is in the back sat of the car and the router is about 100 yards away.

The only thing I can tell you is to move the computer closer to the signal, unless you want to go purchase a signal booster. I saw one at one at best buy a number of months ago.

Are you using the built in Wifi receiver in the computer? If so get an external USB Wifi receiver they work much better.

This is just a plug in usb adapter,called a range max wireless-n usb 2.0 adapter wn111v2
