Limiting the wireless transmit rate
Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this property in Windows, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network Connections,” and double- click on your wireless card’s connection. In the properties dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab, 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. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.
