Windows 10: LAPTOP WIFI CARD BEACON INTERVAL SETTTINGS in REGEDIT

Where can I locate this? The advanced settings tab via device manager locks it at 20ms. I'm looking to experimentally try lower, such as 1ms.

interval.

 

Reliable plug-and-play Mini PCIE WiFi card for laptops?

Hi all - I own 2 older Acer laptops with Broadcom WiFi cards that all have issues with WiFi randomly disconnecting, or NOT automatically reconnecting upon wake-from-sleep or on boot. I've seen several family member's laptops with the same issue...also with older Broadcom cards.

The only way to fix the random disconnections when they happen is by running the WiFi troubleshooter, disabling and re-enabling the WiFi adapter, or sometimes restarting the whole machine. I've tried every single driver I can find, and tried various suggestions for settings changes (turning off 'allow Windows to turn this device off to save power', for example) and they all still do this. They are all older laptops (Win7 or Win8-era) that have been upgraded to Win10.

So....to work around this as it's driving me crazy, are there any suggestions for a good plug-and-play Mini PCIE WiFi card I could put into those laptops that isn't going to break the bank? Hopefully replacing the card with one with a completely different chipset would do the trick?

Any decent Realtek/Ralink/Intel/Atheros Mini PCIE cards out there that could solve the issue? Thanks for any suggestions!

 

Laptop WiFi card replacement

Hi , sorry if i am late on this one , but here are few facts to answer all your questions through out the thread :

- The range of Toshiba Satellite C55 all ships "Whitelisted" a term used on the internet to describe laptops that wouldn't accept a different model to replace wifi card inside .

- There are underground sites specialized in removing white lists from laptop's bioses but they failed with this model (usually they are successful with those not heavily touched phoenix bios laptops but Toshiba heavily modify their's)

- While the majority of Whitelisted laptops won't allow you to even boot a laptop when the card model / brand switch , Toshiba's Whitelisting manages to boot windows but make the card unrecognizable . they do so so you can use the port as an extra M.2 slot to install a small S.S.D drive but not to replace the Wifi card by another .

- When you search for a replacement all you need is to search the model number on merchants website which is : bcm943142y and make sure it shows in listed name .

- There is one of those sold on amazon for 6$ (+shipping)

- The slot on the laptop is M.2 (accepts ssds) and also NGFF (accept small form factor wifi cards) , the card however is economical NGFF so its cut is even smaller than NGFF but still is NGFF standard .

- The only mean to test if the problem is with antenna is to get replacement external antennas (comes in packages of two separate antennas each with a dangling wire to attach to card) which sell for similar price as the card , those antennas however are meant for test purposes only and are not made as a long term solution .

- Debugging logic instructs you try first testing with antennas as when it turns out the problem is laptop's internal antennas then buying an external card/dongle becomes inevitable so you save on card's price and yet have antennas for upcoming debug challenges than rather 2 working obsolete cards .

I hope that answers all your questions .

Cheers
