Desktops & All-In-Ones

The issue is signal strength . The computer is perfect , new hard drive, clean install and updates . Ok when I go to check connectivity the router is recognised , but shows low ? I have three other computers in the house ( one that is in the same room and location as the above ) they all have no issues of connectivity or strength  and look to the same router? 

Yesterday, I logged on and for the first time saw good strength and actually downloaded some software ...yet today its back to 1 bar and limited connectivity ?? , yet nothing has changed in the rooms? If I hard wire to router its 100%

If I carry the unit downstairs and stand it next to the router ...OK  I get max signal . If I take it back  into the room and restart I get low connectivity ? ... yet again every other computer has no signal  issue? 

The computer has shown me that it is capable of receiving the signal, but something is either blocking or reducing the signal but what I ont know .... any suggestions

Make sure your drivers and BIOS are up to date. Since your wireless works, the issue may just be that the antennae in this system is not as strong as the ones in your other systems or may be failing.

Hi thanks for reply ... For sure the drivers are up to date , the BIOS i am not sure, how do you check this ?  I had virgin media in yesterday to upgrade my router ( not related ) . The signal strength is even greater now, and although I can connect and the signal strength is better ( 4 bar) the computer has great problems in actually down load programs etc ... its if I have only 1 meg ram ...it gets there some times , but very slow , or it looses connection .... Is there a specific program to run to check wireless hardware/software ?

Kind regards
