Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity
and the throughput performance between devices decreases
when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that
will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst
culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances.
Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move
farther away from the Router.
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we
suggest temporarily moving the computer within 10 feet from
the Router if possible.

Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local wireless traffic and
interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can
improve performance and reliability. See the section titled
“Changing the Wireless Channel” for instructions on how to
choose other channels.
Limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit rate can
help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless
cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change
this property in Windows, go to the Windows Control Panel,
open “Network Connections”, and double-click on your wireless
card’s connection. In the properties dialog, select the
“Configure” button on the “General” tab, then choose the
“Advanced” tab and select the rate property.
Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the
wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic
disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule,
slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with
different connection rates until you find the best one for your
environment. Note that all available transmission rates should
be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance,
see your wireless card’s user manual.
