How to make your Dial up Modem Faster like Rocket Did you know that by changing a few settings you can make your dial-up modem run better? That's right—you might have a fast modem and a good connection, but you're not getting the best performance. With a few adjustments, you can get faster connection speeds.
In windows 7 go to control panel click Device Manager
Scroll down to Modems and click the little chevron to show your modem, and then double click it.
Selecting the Modem tab will allow you to adjust the port speed. Usually, the Maximum Port Speed is on the highest setting (115,000 bps), but sometimes you will find it on a slower default of 9600 bps. If you have a 56k modem, you can crank it up to the maximum setting without any trouble (in most cases). If you live in a cave and have a 28k modem, then the fastest you can do is 57,600 bps.
To check/adjust the Receive-Transmit buffers in windows 7, click the advanced tab of your modem properties then choose the Advanced Port Settings button. Make sure that both are set to their highest settings.
There are many more tweaks that can be done in the registry, but the potential for disaster is too high for the average user. Some folks install dial-up accelerators, which basically tweak these registry settings for you and perform other routines to optimize performance.
Just by changing these few settings, though, you should see better performance.a
