Wireless Installation and Help

Wireless requires line-of-sight to one of our access points to work. Radios (wireless cards or USB radios, etc.) are not all the same. Some are very strong, and some will barely get across a room. The fact that you're getting 5 bars BEFORE your radio hooks up to ours does not necessarily mean your signal is good enough. Until it is connected, a radio cannot really know the signal strength.
