Checking network signal strength in Windows 2000
If your wireless Ethernet network is running slower than you expect, you
should check your network signal strength. If you find the signal strength is
low, try moving to a new location to increase the signal strength.
To check the signal strength of your wireless Ethernet network:
■
Click
Start
,
Programs
,
ORiNOCO
, then click
Client Manager
. The
ORiNOCO
Client Manager
window opens.
The meter on the left side shows the signal strength for wireless Ethernet
on your notebook if other computers with the same network name are
within range of your notebook.
The status box in the middle provides status and error messages.
Important
Signal strength is affected by the distance between your
wireless network devices, by radio interference, and by
interference due to natural obstructions such as walls,
floors, and doors.
