Hi
Thanks for the info which I followed to the letter. Unfortunately, it's not made any difference... :(

UPDATE
It is actually worse now. The lappy has to be within a few inches range to connect.
How do I reverse the previous action?

Thanks

Hi & thanks for your reply. It is appreciated.

As I am totally unfamiliar with Linux, could you please explain what I do with the code...

Thanks
Mel.

Just means that the driver for linux is very bad. You can try this here:

Open a terminal, type in:

Code: [Select]
sudo leafpad /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8192ce.conf
place:

Code: [Select]
options rtl8192ce ips=0 fwlps=0 debug=2
in the file, save and close.

In a terminal do:

Code: [Select]
sudo update-initramfs -u
wait for it to finish, then reboot.

Before I converted I was on Windows 7 and the lappy WiFi would pick-up at least 6 of my neighbours signals in addition to mine.
Since changing over to LL I can only pick up my own WiFi, but I have to be very close to it as the signal is very weak.
For example, it is currently showing 2 bars & a signal strength of 51% and the computer is only 2 feet away. If I move away, I lose connectivity after only about 20 feet.
