As the title suggests, I have very weak Wi-Fi reception with my Diamond. I already set the Wi-Fi to best performance, I was wondering if there was any other setting that might help enhance the reception. I hate to think the unit is defective.
I'm only getting Three bars of signal in the same room, it hovers between four and five within three or so feet, but if I leave the same room it drops to only one bar most of the time, occasionally shooting up or dropping all together. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

It could be so many factors. Have you changed the channel number to see if that helps What other electronic equipment is close by the router and maybe bluetooth or wireless devices such as telephones etc that my use 2,4ghz frequency (if thats what you are using on 802.11 router. My diamond picks it up just fine.

But bear in mind the overall speed should not really be affected that much for browsing etc if at all

you would need to change the channel on your route by going into its properties normally something like 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.254 etc. But read up if you are unsure so you done mess up any other settings that could disconnect or interrupt your current wireless settings
