Linksys wireless router question, can connect but no signal?

Question

I have a linksys wireless router, my USB extension base can connect to the network but it says there is no signal. Other times it says the signal is very low. How can i fix this?

Answer 1

If you have any kind of security enabled in the Lynksys control panel shut it off, restart your computer and try again.  The control panel (if you've never been in it before) is located by going into your start menu and going to "run"  Type in

cmd

when the command prompt comes up type in

ipconfig

and look at the local gateway address it should be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

either way once you get the address open up internet explorer immediately hit the stop key and type the gateway address into the url bar.  You should be prompted for an administrative password, which by default, the username is either lynksys (all lower case) or Administrator.  The password will be admin (all lower case) by default.  That's where you can go in and change all your settings.

Also make sure that your wireless base is the same network type as your router, A, B, G or N.

Answer 2

you should check if there is an interupption during your connections. other systems could possibly intercept your connection. or call your internet service provider and ask them for another router and check the signal.
