Kaiser Wifi Performance

[donkidonki]

I user my Kaiser (Vodafone v1615) as a riggers remote with a theatrical lighting control system.

It uses wifi to connect and I was wondering if there is anyway to boost the performance/range of the wifi? (it uses a web browser to run the control interface)

I no longer use the device as a phone, it is purely used as a remote so I don't mind if any of the other functionality is impaired or if the battery life is shortened.

I guess that I need to try differnet radio versions or ROMs, can anyone point me in the right direction please?

i vaguely remember reading here on xda (emphasis on vaguely) that the wifi performance is NOT affected by the radio ROM version.

also, have you set your wifi Power Save Mode for "Best Performance" as opposed to the default "Best Battery" setting?

I think you are vaguely correct.

Hi, I am fairly new to XDA Developers, I am still trying to get up to speed with the best practice for playing with ROM's etc.

So other than setting "best performance" (first thing I tried), are there no other settings that the ROM cooks can play with? For example, there is already the best performance versus best battery life slider; has no one tried to allow whatever parameters are set for best performance to be "turned up to 11" to quote a certain metal band?

Any help is much appreciated. (My new phone is an unlocked HTC Topaz, if anyone can reccomend the best beginers route for ROMs etc for that I'd be gratefull- I had SPB shell3 on Kaiser which I loved. I like the Diamond 2 interface but prefer some of the SPB stuff)

Apologies for going off topic & off device.

Honestly, don't you think that would have already been done if people knew about it?

Like I said, I'm new to this forum and there seems to be many thousands of posts on what are essentially similar topics; making searching for answers a bit tricky for us noobs.

I try to search old topics on this subject but sometimes the best way to get results is simply to ask.

No worries if there's no positive answers to my query, just thanks to anyone who took the time to have a think about it.

I'm currently waiting for my old phone number to be ported to my new account on my Topaz and then I might be brave enough to try a few custom rom's on the Kaiser. (any reccomendations for someone who likes the SPB stuff?)

I use my phone for exactly the same thing... in order to boost wifi i just bought a cheap router, placed it in the auditorium and then conect both devices to via dhcp... because the router has no internet connection i remove most of the security and set the router to only allow the mac address of the two devices.. has worked like a charm in all the theatres i have travelled to.. :)
