This is going to seem like a ramble but here goes.
On my last post I followed the instructions as far as I could
and low and behold got wireless working but here is the grey
area so to speak, in the instruction in identifying which
wireless signal is the best I don't know what to do. I used
the instructions from this website and the linux questions forum
but need someone to fill in the gaps so to speak. I'm probable
repeating my myself here but this the command i to get familiar with
or someone explain how I can select the strongest signal.
Also when I reboot my ssid disppear and have restart all over again.

Please so close to fixing problem. Would like to mark as fixed for others hopefully.

Thanks

Hi...

You choose the signal (network) that you are legally entitled to connect to, regardless of strength.

How do you mean exactly?

Thank you but I can't guarantee I will be able to resolve your issue.

Just loaded up mint 32bit on usb and same problem. Am right in saying that the wireless on hp latops isn't going to happen.
the sad truth.

Hi...

It depends on the laptop, not necessarily the brand. The wireless on my HP laptop works fine.

Regards...

is there a way to increase the strength of the signal so to speak.
I keep losing connection - just happened right now

Did you follow the instructions offered by Ivoney here?

Hi:

Just a suggestion here-

-::-You could purchase a usb wifi dongle that will assist you in having a internet connection.-::-

-Blacklist the onboard rtlxxx and than install the driver for the new usb wifi dongle and reboot.

i've ran the command

iwlist scan | egrep -i 'ssid|level

quality=70/70 signal level=38 dbm

Signal quality looks good but did you follow the instructions offered by Ivoney?

Regards...
