I would recommend that you implement the following recommendations for your customers who

use the Atheros wireless module.

1. Use the latest Atheros driver which at this time is 5.3.0.67.


2. If possible, avoid using WZCSVC and instead use the Atheros ACU.
3. Optimal Configuration

a. Power Management – CAM (or Off)


b. Wireless Mode – Isolate to exact wireless mode. For example, if running
802.11g only, set to wireless 2.4GHz 54Mbps.
c. Transmit Power – In typical environments set to Maximum. However, in
environments where numerous AP’s are overlapped set to transmit power of
access points.
d. Roaming – The 5.3.0.67 driver and ACU allows one to configure roaming
aggressiveness. Typically, default works in most environments. However, in
environments such as Misys customers that have only 1 to 3 access points,
roaming can be kept to a minimum. Therefore setting roaming to roam less
might help out.
2. Turn of background scanning by running the attached vBScript. I changed the
script extension to .txt to get past firewalls. It must be changed to .vbs and then run.
After running, please reboot.
