i've been checking out y my internet isnt giving me my full paid for speed and turns out my max signal is only 60%...how do i get 100%?
_________________

where u been checking this from?
and please give more details.
what your speed supposed to be? what u getting? upload? download?

Try changing your router channel, mode (b/g), and encription settings. See if any of that boosts your signal.

Also, how far are you from it? Are there rooms in between? What kind of router do you have?
What speeds are you getting and what are you supposed to have?

my router is bout 10 feet from my laptop. and now im only gettin 50% signal (have an app that tells me) and im sposed 2 get lik 2 Mb/s but router says im only gettin 1500 Kb, yet all tests say only 1000. changed the channel already, mose is mixed for more options
_________________

Try changing the encription if there is any? WEP/WPA

Is there anything near it which can be blocking/reducing the singal for some reason?
Also, try just putting it on G mode, the fastest

Did you always have this problem?

ya always been lik this, only things near it is wireless phone (cant move it), xbox, tv, sound system. it has a WEP. i think trying my other router may help 2?
_________________

Wireless phone near it? -_- You mean what, like RIGHT near it?
The recommended amount of space between a wireless router and phone is about ~20 feet lol.

Try out your other one then and see if its the same

if your downloading torrents then you might have used your allotted bandwidth. what ISP are you on and what plan are you paying for?
_________________

bellsouth and all i no is it is DSL. and ya it is a wireless house phone, or did u mean lik cell phone? if so that is near the comp 2 b/c i obviously keep it in my room
_________________

how much u paying for it? im thinking its the bandwidth thing... im taking a break from torrents for a little so that i can regain some bandwidth before i go to brazil so i can set some running (linux distros wink

)

For $29.99, you can get 3.0mbps in LA, and it connects at about 2.9mbps and you get a free wireless router plus the first month free tongue

ok bro, check if you have any forwarded ports, if u have a static IP set up. reset your router. reinstall firmware.
