How to Extend the Wireless Range on Asus Eee Netbooks
- 1). Update your Asus EEE PC operating system and drivers. The operating system update is available through Windows Update, while the drivers can be found on Asus's website. While many factors that affect wireless range are environmental, not having the most up to date software can have an effect as well.
- 2). Move the Asus netbook away from both wireless devices and metal objects. Both of these will affect the range of the netbook in a negative fashion.
- 3). Take the Asus netbook so it has a direct line of sight to the wireless router, if possible. You probably won't be able to do this with a public Wi-Fi environment, but you can with your own home network.
- 4). Check your Asus netbook model for the type of wireless it supports, such as a wireless-N network. Purchase a new wireless router if your old one does not support the top wireless speed of your Asus netbook.
