Hooked up my new wireless card last night, as in installed it into the PCI slot and booted the computer up, followed the instructions given with the card, and im having problems with the signal?
I get a poor 2 bar signal strength, which is then followed by "no internet access" so i cannot get on the internet. I tried moving the router around, but it didn't make a real difference since the cable to the router is very small. My PC must be about 5M away from the router, and it's strugglnig to get a internet connection?
My Old Dell sat in exactly the same place as my new pc, with a 2-3 year old wireless card in it and it got a 4 bar signal, which allowed me to connect to the internet fine.
I rang up Technical support, and they told me to check the Antena's were screwed in properly, which they were, and then got advised to move the computer closer to the router to see if it was a problem with the card. Im currently typing this on my new pc, with a 5 bar signal. The router is pretty much next to the computer though.
So, why can't i get a good signal, where my old pc could?!
I just want to play on it, as it's been here since Monday, sitting under my desk, useless
