Answer: Adjust wireless antenna height, placement, alignment.   Try moving it all over.\n\nConfigure the wireless part of the router to use a different channel.  Perhaps the default channel is already being used in your area or is just really noisy.  There are channels 1-11 to choose from.  (Again this is on your wireless router configuration)  If it is on 1, change it to 6 or 11.  If it is on 11 change it to 1 or 5.   If it is on 4-6 try either 1 or 11 and see which ones are better signal.\n\nKeep in mind that the signal strength isn't the only measurement...make sure it doesn't drop the signal.  An okay signal that is stable is better than a great signal that drops out from time to time (which can happen)\n\nWhen "tuning" your antenna position, keep in mind that walls might have metal in them that causes interference too.  Try to provide "line of sight" when ever possible between wireless devices.  Glass is fine.  Maybe putting your antenna closer to the window if you are trying to get the signal somewhere else in the house... or putting it closer to a hallway so there is less physical material between the two places.
