If you configure your modem with a lower maximum speed setting, you may achieve a more reliable and stable Internet connection. Right-click the Cyberwizards icon and select the Properties option. Click the Configure button. Click the Maximum Speed drop-down menu and select a slower speed setting. Repeat this with increasingly faster speeds until you find the optimum speed setting.
Some modems use data compression to achieve faster data throughput.
However, this may cause instability as it places additional strain on your already overworked modem. Disabling data compression may improve your connection stability. Double-click the My Computer desktop icon. Right-click the Cyberwizards icon and select the Properties option. Click the Configure button.
