    Weak Iphone Wi-Fi signal strength

    Hi,

    I have a apple iphone 3gs. From few days, router the signal gets very weak and sometimes I lose the connection. You wanted to know if there are devices that operate in repeater so you can amplify the WiFi signal? Is it a wifi problem or a mobile problem ?? Why there is a weak Iphone Wi-Fi signal strength ???

    When using multiple WEP keys on your Wi-Fi router, try re-configured to use a single key. Check the manufacturer's website of your Wi-Fi router for updates of software or firmware. Make sure the Wi-Fi router can relay a signal 802.11b / g. If you use a Wi-Fi 802.11n router, check the manual or documentation for how to configure it so that it is compatible with 802.11b / g.

    Try to restore (or turn off and on again) the Wi-Fi router. Note: If your Internet access provider also offers telephony or cable, and check before doing this step to avoid disruption of services. Disable wireless encryption or security of Wi-Fi router to rule out problems with encryption. If this solves the problem, try using encryption or other security protocol.

    The antennas supplied with your router are designed to be omni-directional, which means it emits in all directions around the router. If your router is near an outside wall, half of the wireless signals are sent outside your home, and much of the power of your router will be in vain. Most routers do not allow the power output increase, but you can make better use of energy. Upgrade to a high gain antenna that focuses the wireless signals only one direction. You can direct the signal in the direction you need it most.

    Wireless routers can broadcast on several different channels, similar to the way radio stations use different channels. Like sometimes hear interference on one radio station while another is perfectly clear, sometimes one wireless channel is clearer than others. Try to change the channel the wireless router via the router's configuration page to see if it improves signal strength.

    I think router is the problem. To connect router to iphone, 802.11b is mostly used for wireless network, but 802.11g is about five times faster. 802.11g is compatible with 802.11b, so you can still use any 802.11b equipment that you have. If you are using 802.11b, and you are not satisfied with the performance, then replacing your router and network adapter 802.11g compatible device. If you are purchasing new equipment, definitely choose 802.11g.
