If you have a slow wireless internet connection that often crashes, then there’s probably something wrong with it. Here are some tips and tricks to fix some of the most common wireless problems on Windows XP.
1. Move your wireless router to a better location
The first thing you want to do is to make sure your wireless router is in the best location possible. If you have a laptop that you move around all the time or if you have several computers, the router should be in the centre of your home and office.
2. Upgrade the wireless router firmware
Sometimes the problem is with the router firmware. Make sure you update your router firmware as often as possible to avoid incompatibility with newer systems. You can update your router firmware from the wireless router control panel.
3. Change the wireless broadcast channel
If there are several wireless networks in your area, they can begin to distract each other. Most routers use the wireless channel 6 by default and the channel can slow down if full of signals coming from many routers. You can change the wireless channel from the Wireless Control Panel.
If changing the channel didn’t speed up your wireless connection, change it back to 6. It’s better not to play with them too much because this can distract your firewall.
4. Upgrade your computer's wireless network drivers
You can search for driver updates from the Windows Update site or your manufacturers website.
If none of the above tips helped, contact your wireless router manufacturer or just go back to a wired internet connection.
