Not able to connect to wifi from long distance

[Jhansi]

My Laptop Model is HP Pavilion K 106tu, Realtek RTL 8723BE 802.11 bgn wifi adapter

Recently, wifi got this issue. It is not able to get connected to wifi if it is another room or from far distance. In order to get connect the laptop should be placed beside the wifi router, then only wifi gets connected.  WIfi router is perfectly working with other devices, there is no problem with the router

I have tried updating the realtek wifi driver, uninstalling & reinstalling the wifi drivers but there is no improvement in connecting to the wifi. 

Please help me in this issue.

Change your wireless environment

Environment greatly impacts the effectiveness of wireless networks. Review and consider following actions to help resolve the wireless network issue.

• Proximity: If you have a mobile computer, try to move it closer to your router so the signal strength is strong. The farther the computer is from the router, the weaker the broadcast signal. Use the wireless icon in the notification area to check the strength of the signal.
  Weak signal:  or 
  Strong signal:  or 
• Interference: If possible, remove metal objects that are near or between the router and computer. They can interfere with the network signal and cause poor connectivity. Move the computer or router to a location where there are fewer solid object between the two and check if signal strength/connection improves.
  Other devices operating on similar frequencies, such as cordless phones, microwaves, analog security devices, etc. can cause interference as well. Relocate or turn off these devices for testing.
• Limit the amount of devices: Too many devices on the same network can cause performance drops. Temporarily have another device log off the network and see if the wireless issue is resolved.
• Try connecting to a different network: If possible try to connect to another known nearby wireless network to see if the wireless issue is resolved. Too many devices on the same network can cause performance drops.

Try connecting to the Internet again. If you cannot optimize the environment, for example your computer must be used at a specific place, consider purchasing a wireless repeater to extend the network range.

Check for bandwidth consuming apps or services then test connection speeds

Devices such as smart TVs, wireless TV receivers, laptops, tablets, and phones might be consuming bandwidth and making your Internet service slower. Likewise, applications running on your computer might be using bandwidth in the background.

To isolate this further:

1. Try turning off or temporarily disconnecting any other devices that are using the same Internet connection.
2. Close all other applications on your computer, and then test the connection speed again.
3. Check to see if the problem occurs within a specific application. If it is program specific, here is a list of items that could help isolate this issue further.
   • Check the developer’s website for updates or fixes.
   • Try uninstalling and reinstalling the application.
   • Try using another similar application.

If the wireless connection speed is still slow, test the network performance with a different device. If the same behavior exhibits, please contact your internet service provider (ISP) as this may be an issue with your internet connection or associated hardware.

Try these steps and let me know if it helps.

Thanks,
