Elevating my router has helped some.
I could get online with my low signal strength some of the time but not all
of the time, with elevating the router I might now find I can get online all
of the time.
Thanks, Jerry.

It depends on your wireless router on whether you can attach different
antennas to it to broadcast a stronger signal. It also helps to have it
placed high and in a central location. It depends on what's in the walls,
too. Metal, electric lines, etc. can all cause interference and degrade the
signal. A low signal doesn't necessarily mean you can't connect. Do you have
a problem getting a connection or are you just fretting about a low signal?
