Please log in for more thread options manage WiFi connections. Sometimes the Intel ProSet/Wireless icon in the task bar shows poor signal quality event though the signal strength indicator in the ProSet/Wireless main screen shows five bars (the maximum). My laptop is located less than three fee from the wireless router. I have tried different channels with no effect. 1) What metric does Intel ProSet/Wireless use to determine signal quality? 2) How can I determine the cause of the intermittent poor signal quality? Any suggestions or pointers to reference material would be most welcome. -- .Bill. | ||||||||||||||||

Some older versions of the Intel drivers just suck, others suck royally. I know there was an update for many of them recently. | ||||||||||||||||
