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

some
of
my
network
clients
(computers,

connect.
Your

came
pre

Does
the

Windows
XP
and
some

may
require
