WiSwitch

WiSwitch is a simple tool that aims to help you improve the wireless connectivity by removing the lag generated by the Wireless Zero Configuration service. The program is designed for the users who need to reduce lag when playing online games.

If you are using a wireless network connection on your computer, Windows automatically scans the available access points in order to provide you with a list of connection alternatives. On Windows XP this process is performed in the background by the Wireless Zero Configuration which cannot be disabled by the user.

Since this operation uses local resources, some users might experience lag or a slight decrease in the network speed. Although it should not bother casual users, the gamers who need an impeccable connection might want to turn off this feature once their are connected to the desired access point.

The WiSwitch app allows you to easily stop the service in order to improve the wireless performance. It features a simple interface that enables you to stop and restart the service with just one click.

For Windows 7 users, the program offers the option to disable the automatic connection to a wireless network by turning off the WLAN Autoconfig service. This allows you to control when you want to use the wireless network instead of automatically establishing the link.

This feature comes in handy for the PC users who do not want to be connected to a certain network as soon as the computer starts.

WiSwitch provides you with a set of tools for tuning the services related with the wireless networks which can come in handy if you need to disable them on command.
