built in ba yung wireless mo? try mo adjust yung power management.
Start/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager/Network Adapters/wireless connection/right click then click properties. tapos select mo yung Power Management then uncheck mo yung default tapos move mo yung cursor sa highest value.

try to connect to the internet even your signal strength is low. If ok naman yung connection mo, dont be bothered by the low signal. sakin kasi ganun eh.

if i put the Power Management slider to the highest value, doesn't this mean na pinakamahina ang signal nito?

yup, built in ang wifi ko.

puro Intel ang nakikita ko sa driver details. and hindi ba na kapag Centrino ang laptop, it means na Intel lahat ng chipset na gamit?

If Centrino then you have a Pentium M, an Intel chipset and Intel wireless.

Don't worry about it as long as you can connect to the wireless network at a respectable speed. I have experienced the same problem. Sometimes, my 2 laptops are only a foot apart and they have different signal strength. Other time its the same.

pag highest, maximum performance nung card. pag lowest, maximum battery life.

malamang sir Intel 3945 yang wi-fi module mo? hanap ka na lang ibang laptop na may same Chipset... pag mas mababa yung sayo... it means pangit design or location ng Internal Antenna or defective ang Internal Antenna...

test ko nalang next week pag dating nung inorder ko na linksys wifi router. hiram din ako ng notebook sa friend ko.

mukhang wala naman problema sa wifi ko. just installed my new linksys wireless router and full bar kapag within the room, and nakaka 1-2bars at the other end of the house with 3-4 walls in between.

wireless "N" devices & functionality will only work with "N" type routers. So if you will use a N type device but the wifi router only supports "G", then there is no gain in range nor signal strength.
