Is it possible to lock speed for a wireless connection?

Hello!

I seem to notice if my wireless speed goes higher than 2.0 Mbps on my Hawking Technology's Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Adapter (Model: HWU54D), I get major packet losses to the D-Link DI-624 wireless router (192.168.0.1).

Is there a way to lock this 2.0 Mbps speed manually? I do not want the wireless connection to change (e.g., going up and down). I want it to stay at 2.0 Mbps (sweet spot). I don't care about the speed, I want stability. I am using Windows XP Professional SP2 and the latest driver from Hawking Technology.

Thank you in advance. :)

Usually you can click on icon in system tray and wireless network settings
change transmission rate from automatic to what you want.

The only thing I see is the current Mbps speed, but nothing to change. This
is both in Windows XP SP2's wireless options and Envara Configuration Utility.
Did I miss anywhere else?

You might have to go under control panel, the system, then hardware to the
device.

I don't see anything about speed there. :(

I see:
Config file
Country Code
IBSS Orginator BeaconPeriod
IBSS Orginator Channel
IBSS Orginator Phy-Mode
Network Address
Station RtsThreshold
Station ScanPolicy

Nevermind this request. I got packet losses again even at 2.0 Mbps, and
my speed went down to 1.0 to be stable. Wow. Oh well. Thanks to all who
replied. :(
