Enter the IP address for your router in your browser address window to go to the router log-in screen. Log-in with your password and select the following from the displayed menu - Network/Wireless Lan/Advanced Settings.
You should see something like the following on your screen:
The setting of interest is '802.11 mode'.
Tip: Many current routers support two networking standards: 802.11b and 802.11g. Turn off the 802.11b option — it's older, slower and will clog up your connection speeds. This should give you an extra bar, but probably won't reach the far corners of your home :Untip
My router was set to 'mixed' so I selected '802.11g only, applied the setting and logged out of the router.
As the tip suggested, I got an extra bar showing on the wi-fi signal strength on my notebook. Pleased with myself or what.
Disclaimer - I accept no responsibility if you screw up your router..... you shouldn't have been messing about with it in the first place......
