    Change Power Setting of Wireless Radios


    Fn + F5 brings up a small menu to turn on and off wi-fi, Bluetooth etc. Anyone know where that file is?

    It's not clear what your asking as the title says power settings for radios? The function key may be a BIOS settings not knowing what the pc is

    You can adjust the transmission power of your computer's WiFI adaptor in the Properties window of Device Manager. Do this:


    Open Device Manager, open the Network adaptors node, right-mouse click on your WiFi adaptor and select Properties. Once in Properties Window, select the Advanced Tab and under the Property heading of the left-pane, select Transmit Power. Then, in the right-pane, under value, select the power value that you wish to use. When done select OK.

    That is it.

    I'm not sure what you think I'm looking for iko22, but its not that. Its a file called tpfnf5.exe and as my last post suggests I have now sorted it. Thanks

    Okay. I just included it for the benefit of anyone passing by and reading this post, and wanted a more fuller answer.

    I'm glad that you found the answer to your question, and thanks for returning to tell us what you found out.

    I don't see "Transmit Power", but I see "Transmit Buffers". Would that be the same thing?
