[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 346406, member: 24098"] There are a number of variables that impact signal strength, it could be that one of your neighbors just got a shiny new wireless router that is now competing with your router on the same channel. In addition to that, any other device that works on the 2.4GHz spectrum (cordless phones are a good example) can also impact your signal strength. You can try moving your router around a bit. Generally speaking, the higher and more centralized you can move your router, the better signal strength you'll get throughout your home. Also, if the router is placed near an outside wall, your signal could be extending out, away from your home's interior. Try experimenting with different channels as well as switching your router to WPA2 security and finding a better location for it. [/QUOTE]
