Improving Your Wireless Connection
If you are experiencing wireless network performance issues, the following tips and tricks can help improve performance. If you continue to have issues, please call the ITS Help Desk at 757-683-3192 or email itshelp@odu.edu.
Sometimes your computer may have chosen to connect to a wireless access point that isn't the closest to your current location. By disabling and enabling (or turning off and back on) your adapter you will force it to rescan the available access points and it will likely choose the closest one.
Updating your drivers for the wireless card can often resolve issues. For Windows-based computers, you can go to Windows Update (Start->All Programs->Windows Update) or go to the device manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers. Often times for Windows, the drivers from the device manufacturer's website are more up to date than those available from Windows Update. For Apple computers, run Software Update (Apple Menu->Software Update).
Some Windows-based computers come with third-party applications to control the wireless settings, and they often cause conflicts. You should set Windows to be the default manager for wireless connections and disable this software for best performance.
Most wireless interference occurs on the 2.4GHz (802.11b/g/n) frequency range; the 5GHz (802.11a/n) frequency range is much less prone to interference. By using a dual-band adapter (also called 802.11a/b/g/n), your device will be able to connect using 5GHz and will be much less prone to interference, especially in the dorms.
Signals from other wireless devices can interfere and degrade the campus wireless network, slowing down wireless access for you and others around you. Common interference devices include wireless printers, Apple Time Capsules, and microwave ovens. A large portion of these interference devices only affect the 2.4GHz frequency range and can be avoided by using a dual-band adapter on the 5GHz frequency range. See below for a full list of known interference devices and their impact.
