Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate.. To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network Connections” and double-click on your Adapter’s connection.. In the “Properties” dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab Windows 98 users will have to select the USB Adapter in the list box and then click “Properties”, then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property.. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak as a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable.. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for your environment note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet..
