Extra Settings to Optimize Your Modem

Use these following settings to optimize your modem performance:

1. Double-click the Modems icon in the Control Panel, click the Properties button, click the Connection tab, and then click the Port Settings button. Check the Use FIFO buffers option, and drag the button to the right corner (High (14)).

2. Double-click the Modems icon in the Control Panel, click on the Properties button, and from the Maximum speed drop down list choose 115200. Click on the Connection tab, click the Advanced button, and then uncheck the Use error control and Required to connect options. Finally, click OK to save the new setting.

3. If you place your modem too close to a fluorescent lamp, it might cause interference when you transmit or receive data from the Internet. That is why, if you have a fluorescent desk lamp it is necessary to place it far from your modem.
