How to boost your laptop’s WiFi signal

Are you upset when your internet connection is awfully slow? There are lots of circumstances why sometimes surfing the net is really slow. One common thing is weak signal from the wifi source (router). Weak wifi signal means slow internet connection. The weak signal is usually experienced if the origin of the wifi is far enough to the internet user or if the user/router is confined in a closed place. Take for instance, one user is browsing the internet using his neighbor’s wifi account and the other one is connected in his own router but installed in the other room which is confined. Most of the time, both will get weak signal. To resolve this issue, use any of ALFA Network's usb adapter to boost one’s wifi signal he is receiving. How to do this? Let me share to everyone else on how to do such.

Instructions:

•  Connect Alfa Network adapter into the usb outlet of the loppy. (The usb adapter is available at any computer/tech store in your area). Let your laptop’s system recognize the new hardware inserted. Observe the device if the LED light blinks – Green light means it is connected; red is disconnected.
• Once connected, insert the CD installer (driver) in your CD/DVD ROM.
• Disregard the dialog box that popped out in the monitor of your laptop. Go to Device Manager. Start>Control Panel>System and Security>System>Device Manager or press and hold Windows logo + Pause/Break of your laptop’s keyboard (shortcut key to view basic info about your computer. Then click Device Manager at the left side menu.
• Find and click the Network Adapters icon. Click then right-click the one with  !  and Update Driver Software. Then click - Search automatically for updated driver software. If this doesn’t work click - Browse my computer for driver software instead. Browse>locate the CD/DVD drive>Ok>Next>Close. This will install the driver of the Alpha provided in the CD.
• Once properly installed, the icon  !  in the Network Adapters icon disappears. Click the wifi network icon in the lower right of your monitor (beside time/date). Alfa adapter will make an identical virtual network connection and click connect tab. Observe the wifi network icon – it increased the wifi signal bars which meant it also increased the strength of your connection with the wifi source.

I have been using this wifi-booster-usb-adapter gadget AWUS036H from Alfa Network which is Taiwan-made for almost couple of years now inside my clinic since the router (source of wifi) is installed in the other room. Besides, if that router is turned off, I could still receive other wifi network coming from other sources so I could still connect with them as long as the network's password is known or is unsecured (no password). AWUS036H is the standard and cheapest among the several products of the company and you can choose any model depending on your LAN/WAN needs.

Note: This post is not intended to promote any products from the makers of this device but I am just taking my chances to share what I have experienced with this type of up-to-date tech gadget. Haply, anything which has something to do with my personal experiences, either good or bad, beneficial or not, is worth sharing.
