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 .
I’ve installed this new Router and some of my network clients
(computers, game consoles, etc .) are now unable to connect .
Your new Router came pre-configured with a network name and
password, found printed on an attached card . All clients must use this
network name and password to connect wirelessly to your Router . You
will need to find the network settings on your client, select the network
name printed on the card from the list of available networks, and
enter the password when prompted to join the wireless network .
