Intex usb wireless Lan 154 Mbps Intex IT-ULC22 help

Question

My internal wireless adapter was roasted by lightning so im trying using the usb/pci, problem is i cant get more than 2 bars wifi network even within 100 metres from the router, what could be the problem? I downloaded & installed Ralink drivers from the intex site, but its not working

Answer 1

Metres usually mentioned  on selling ar bit misleading because they dont tell you that those claimed metres were tested on clear open space.

If you are within a build, concrete walls, metal sheets or positioning of your pc greatly reduce distance even to few metres.

A software driver regardless of it being ralink will not help because your limitation is hardware plus surrounding.

sounds like its cheap hardware too

Answer 2

Well in wireless modems and routers... its all about antennas...

Simple stated the Longer the Antenna, the better the reception, if you are far from the router..
