How to Tweak a DSL Modem

Tweaking a DSL modem refers to increasing its connection speed. DSL modems are faster than the devices used in dial-up and do not occupy your telephone line while you are browsing the Web. Tweak a DSL modem relatively simply in the Windows Registry.

Instructions

    • 1

      Launch Windows Registry Editor. Click on the Start menu and select "Run..." Type "regedit" without the quotes and hit "Enter."

    • 2

      Browse to navigate to the following path in your Windows registry: "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" - "SYSTEM" - "CurrentControlSet" - "Services" - "Tcpip" - "Parameters."

    • 3

      Hit "Edit" and select "New" and then "DWORD value."

    • 4

      Type a new name for "TcpWindowSize." Hit "Enter." Double-click on the default value that shows up.

    • 5

      Choose to select "decimal" for your "Base value."

    • 6

      Replace the default value of your TCP Windows size with "32767." Hit "OK" and close your Windows Registry Editor to end task. Restart your computer.
