PDC Wireless Tip

I’ve heard alot of people, and helped a few, that have had problems with the PDC Wireless network. The things that many people do at conferences is to sit with their laptop in their knee. Doing this they are not plugged in. When your laptop goes into it’s Power Saving mode, it lowers the performance on your wireless adapter. This in effect can, and will often, result in your computer having problems reaching the wireless network. You can however change this, and run the wirless on full power while still having all other settings set for power saving. If you go to Power Options –  Change plan settings – Change Advanced Power Settings, you get the window in the picture. Now if you scroll down a bit on that you’ll find your wireless, and unless you change this it will have the Maximum Power saving option. Change this to Maximum Performance instead, and of you go!
