    my laptop is acting up on connecting to the internet....when i search for a wifi network it locates my wireless router but the signal is weak and after i try to connect the signal fades and my laptop doesnt pick up the wireless router nor does it shows up..i try to connect the router directly to the laptop but the signal is weak and low....any suggestions anyone.?

    Your saying it can't connect to the wireless in your house? Have you tried to reboot the router (unplug the power and plug back in) That could solve you not being able to connect to it, unless you were referring to any wireless router.

    You can't bring the router closer to you? Might look into a router with signal boost.

    Sounds like interference from another wireless device on the same frequency as your network or an IP conflict with connected devices. Find all wireless devices one by one and deactivate them temporarily from your network and see if your laptop signal improves. Also Google Wi-Fi extender, you can make them at home.

    try connecting another device to the network like another laptop if that works den u need to check your card if not you need to check the router. do this as the first step of troubleshooting

    HM...If you have 2 laptop and one of them can connect with good signal and the other at very weak or no connection at all..and I guess you tested both laptop at same distance from the router..then the wireless card on the laptop is faulty. try to uninstall the driver and install it back..if that do not work then buy an usb external wifi card...prob fix. btw get one that support b/g/n.

    OK I could work with you on this one. But I need to ask if you can get into the configuration of your router to set it up.
