IMPROVING WIRELESS SPEED
First, if your computer keeps dropping the connection and then having to reestablish it, try turning Wi-Fi off and back on again. The easiest way to do this is to click the Network icon in the notification area and then click the Wi-Fi button at the bottom of the Network fly-out to turn off Wi-Fi temporarily. Repeat the move to turn Wi-Fi back on. If the connection is still problematic, and it’s a network that you administer, restart the wireless router.
Second, look at the connection’s status to see whether there’s anything obviously wrong. The Network icon in the notification area gives you a rough indication of signal strength—the more white bars, the better—but to see the details, you need to look in the Wi-Fi Status dialog box.

Follow these steps to open the Wi-Fi Status dialog box:

1. Right-click or long-press the Network icon in the notification area to open the shortcut menu.
2. Click Open Network and Sharing Center to open a Network and Sharing Center window.
These are the main things you can do from the Wi-Fi Status dialog box:
➡️ Check that the connection has Internet access.
Look at the IPv4 Connectivity readout and the IPv6 Connectivity readout. Make sure that at least one of these says Internet rather than No Internet Access.
➡️ Check the connection speed.
Look at the speed readout to see whether it’s reasonable. (See the nearby sidebar about wireless speeds.) If it’s not, you may be able to get a higher speed by disconnecting from the network and then connecting to it again.
➡️ Check the signal quality.
Look at the Signal Quality readout, which shows from one to five green bars—as usual, the more the merrier.
➡️ View more details about the wireless connection.
Click Details to display the Network Connection Details dialog box. This includes a wealth of detail, of which the following items are usually most useful: the hardware (MAC) address; whether the connection uses DHCP; the IP address and the subnet mask; and the addresses of the default gateway, the DHCP server, and the DNS server.
➡️ Change the wireless network’s properties.
If you need to control whether Windows connects automatically to this network, click Wireless Properties to display the Wireless Network Properties dialog box. On the Connection tab, you can check or clear the Connect Automatically When This Network Is in Range check box, as needed.
➡️ Diagnose problems with the connection.
If the connection isn’t working correctly, click Diagnose to launch the Windows Network Diagnostics Wizard.

Third, you may need to change channels to get a decent connection. A wireless network can use any of a variety of channels, which the administrator can choose using whatever configuration utility the wireless access point provides. If many of the wireless networks in your immediate vicinity use the same channels, you may get lower throughput.
To see which network is using which channels, you can install a Wi-Fi analyzer app or Wi-Fi stumbler app such as InSSIDer or Kismet. Many are available with different features, but most show you the available networks, their relative signal strength, and the channels they are using. Armed with this information, you can set your wireless network to avoid the channels your neighbors are using.
