Re: Improve Wi-Fi Speed!

Note: Some devices don't have that structure in the registry. If it's your case, our cab will create it automatically.

I do not take credit for the creation of this.. I merely happened to find this at the site linked above and thought to post it here..
Since there's been a lot of contraversy over the affect of this CAB, I'd like to test it out for myself. However before I do, I would like to know if uninstalling the CAB will revert my Touch Pro back to the settings it had prior to the installation?

Also, for what it's worth, my TP does not have the registry entry "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS", so I'm hoping this CAB will can help out somewhat.
