- The frame of your slides and major structural members may interrupt the line-of-sight Wi-Fi signal.
- The number of computers logged on at one given time will affect the signal strength. Please work off-line, and then connect while the Internet is needed.
- The antenna on your computer must aim itself toward the intended transmitting antenna. Another building, RV or tree may lessen the line-of-sight signal.
- Other RV’ers may be transmitting from their own system and restrict the signal you are trying to receive.
- The best channels for the Wi-Fi systems to work on are channels 1-6&11.
- If you have your own wireless system, you may want to use one of these channels.
- These channels are less likely to interfere with another Wi-Fi system.
- External antennas are available for your wi-fi signal to be received with less chance of low signal. These antennas will also allow you to access more systems or antennas from the same system.
- Atmospheric conditions, storms, water on trees and other conditions can derogate your signal.
- Try placing your laptop on a table outside your RV, aiming your antenna at different directions can give you an ideas as to how powerful the signal is in your area at one given time.
