Many windows settings work in harmony in order to get the best out of an available internet connection. Unfortunately, the factory design of these settings means that they are often not optimized for a particular connection type, or they are adjusted by a newly installed software product unasked. The consequences are plain to see: the computer can’t get the best out of your internet connection. As a user, this means you have to wait longer until web pages have loaded in your browser or until internet downloads are finished.

For beginners and for most professionals, it simply isn’t possible to find the settings necessary for the fine tuning of the internet in the registry – let alone to edit them. No problem: the Ashampoo Internet Accelerator will be pleased to complete this job for you!

A slow internet connection costs time and gets on your nerves. For this reason, taking the time to optimise the settings is almost considered a must – particularly since an optimisation in terms of speed doesn’t come with any additional cost, neither for a hardware extension nor for the software, as the Ashampoo Internet Accelerator 2 can be used completely free of charge.

And surfing the internet is fun again:

• Faster surfing with an analogue modem
• Get more out of your ISDN connection
• Optimise your DSL via LAN cable, cable modem or wireless LAN
• Better configuration of other LAN connections

Wake On LAN Ex is an application designed to be used with computers that contain network cards which are set to turn on when a "magic packet" is received. Running Wake On LAN Ex, entering the required details, and hitting Send will cause the WOL-enabled computer to turn itself on and boot as normal. Depending on its WOL abilities, the destination computer can be sleeping, hibernating, or entirely off and still be able to react to a Wake-On-LAN event.

Connection Keeper prevents your Internet connection from appearing idle or inactive. It does this using almost no bandwidth or system resources.
