If you look in the DLink user manual you'll find instructions as to how to access the DLink's settings via your browser - probably by using the web address http://192.168.1.1 you will get there. Look for wireless settings under the setup menu and you'll see an option for the channel choice. The other settings will be there but I suspect they're already at the best settings.
Other suggestions are to check that the antenna not close to electrical equipment that might interfere. and is plugged/screwed in properly.

Quote from: wjclarke98 I have a D-Link 2640B Wireless G ADSL2+ Modem Router. I cannot detect a signal from it more than 2 metres from the equipment. It is impossible to log on anywhere else in the house except the room where the router is situated. I am receiving signals from my neighbours houses (all encrypted) but not my own. Has anyone got any ideas how to increase the power of the signal.
I think that if it is such a short distance as 2 metres then the problem lies with the router.
Since the router can be set to use different broadcast powers, check this.
The attached screenshot is taken from the manual on the mini-cd that comes with the router.
This will also show you how to change channels.

a) Return it for a replacement or
b) Try an alternative router
If this is a "free" Plusnet router, they are quite good at sending replacements.
