Are you connected to your wi-fi signal?

One of my client's today had a problem with slow and frequent disconnects with her wireless Internet (wi-fi) in her home. Upon my investigation, I discovered that her computer had hooked onto a neighbor's weak, unsecured signal and was ignoring hers. After connecting to her signal, the wireless was strong and didn't disconnect.

To make sure that you are connected to the wireless signal you think you are:

  1. Double-click your wireless icon by your clock
  2. See what connection you are connected to
  3. If it's not yours, click your wireless network, then click Connect.

To make sure that you connect to your wi-fi signal every time, choose it as your default connection in the wireless properties section of the control panel under networking.

If this helped, consider buying me a beer or an Americano!
