Your connection on the network seems intermittent or your wireless network is running slower than you expect ■ The speed of a wireless network is related to signal strength. Signal strength is affected by the distance between your wireless network devices, by radio interference, and by interference from natural obstructions such as walls, ceilings, floors, and doors. If your wireless 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: 1 Click Start, right-click My Network Places, then click Properties. The Network Connections window opens. 2 Right-click Wireless Network Connection, then click Status. The Wireless Network Connection Status dialog box opens. The meter shows the signal strength for wireless networking on your computer if other computers with the same network name are within range of your computer. 220
