Tesco broadband. Can I get a stronger Wi-Fi signal?

I have Tesco unlimited broadband. It works fine but was wondering if anyone else has trouble with a weak signal when you are say 10-15 meters away through a couple of walls?

My laptop picks up 2 out of 5 bars in signal but my iPhone 5 gets nothing at all.

Could I upgrade my router? And if so, what would be a good one? Is there such a thing as a signal strength chart or anything like that? Just thought I'd ask.

Wireless signals are easily blocked by walls and other obstacles, especially concrete floors/walls. There's nothing you can do about this with software upgrades. That's how radio signals work - the fastest your connection, the more easy is to block it.

Might be as simple as a change of channel.
Best of luck with it, Bob.

You can do loads of things for a Wi-Fi signal. Try making a windsurfer reflector (google it). Get a better router. Try a Netgear WNDR3700. Good for the price and great signal strength.

If you purchase another router and place it at the opposite side of the house you will get really good reception.

  • Your broadband modem is experiencing connectivity issues? My wireless works fine with my iPad and iPhones. But then I try to connect it to my Windows 7 desktop, and it says that it's experiencing connectivity issues? I have the Ethernet cable hooked up to the main router, then my wireless, then into the computer. I've tried restarting them both at the same time, but it's still having the same issue?
  • Will the 7 minute workout app make you stronger? I just recently bought the 7 minute workout challenge app, and I read some articles online that say it will help you lose weight, but it is not good for becoming stronger. I didn't know if this was real and I have been doing the workout 2 times a day hoping to be stronger. If this workout isn't good for muscle, what is a good app for the iPhone that have workouts you can do at home to get stronger (without machines)?
  • Which iPhone case is stronger? A sturdy, solid, one, or a solid but slightly flexible one? Both are about the same thickness. Thanks! Stronger meaning which case will keep my iphone from cracking if I drop it?
  • Should Apple make their iPhone chargers stronger and more unbreakable? It annoys the **** out of me when my charger doesn't work. I have purchased 4 chargers for my iPhone 5.
