Hi

 

Can anyone please help me on wifi connectivity problem. Here issue is that wifi is getting connected to a network but displaying very less signal strength like almost neglible. 

 

So due to this internet speed is also affecting and gets disconnected very frequently (Although wifi is very near to the laptop like just almost 2 or 3 steps away).

 

What could be the issue here. Drivers or hardware ?

 

Drivers required

 

Thanks

Hi:

 

What model wireless card does your notebook have?

 

If you don't know, look under the network adapters device category in the device manager.
