Here are some suggestions ...

1. Keep the wireless router always in the middle of your House ( Not at corners).
2. Keep the wireless router not closer to any electronic or electrical system ., ex: microwave, tv. ... to avoid interferences.
3. Keep the wireless router at a highter elevation. ( Think your router like a wireless antenna towers build by wireless companies. Most of them will be over a hill, in remote areas.) Same thing applies for routers too.
4. Buying a higher db bandwidth antenna will not help always.
5. Move to n router. ( g is old ).

Windows Experience Index - blank?

Took me a while to find this. If you're unable to update your Windows Experience Index score because the "Performance Information and Tools" window is just blank, etc., here's what worked for me:

  • Click Start, type regedit.exe and press ENTER
  • Navigate to the following location:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Performance Control Panel
  • In the right-pane, look for the value named "PerfcplEnabled" and delete it, if found.
  • Also, delete the "PerfcplEnabled" value from the following key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Control Panel\Performance Control Panel
Note - didn't find the value under HKCU but didn't matter; after deleting it from HKLM everything came back and started working again.
