How to boost and increase your wireless signal strength and speed? If you happened to own an intel PRO Wireless or any other branded wireless receiver, you have the ability to enhance your wireless signal receiving range. Based on my experience, modifying these values is not possible with a cheaper brand-less wireless adapter.
Right click on ‘My Computers’ –> Go to ‘Properties’ –> Select the ‘hardware’ tab –> Click on the ‘Device Manager’ button –> Under the ‘Network Adapters’ list, select your network card.
Under the ‘Advanced’ tab, select ‘Roaming Aggressiveness’, uncheck the ‘Use default value’ and set the value to ‘highest’. Roaming Aggressiveness – This setting allows you to define how aggressively your wireless client roams to improve connection to an access point.
Under the ‘Advanced’ tab, select ‘Throughput Enhancement’, uncheck the ‘Use default value’ and set the value to ‘enable’. Throughput Enhancement – Enhance the transmit throughput by enabling packet bursting.
When you’re done, hit ‘ok’ and save the settings. If you’re running Windows 7, watch the video below I created.
When the Intel Throughput Enhancement feature is enabled, the wireless adapter may transmit using the Short Interframe Space (SIFS) interval between packets instead of waiting for the expiration of the Distributed Coordination Function Interframe Space (DIFS) and additional random back-off time. The shorter wait time results in better throughput of the wireless medium.
