There's two things you can do to increase this:

1) "wmiconfig -i eth0 --power maxperf" is said to reduce the level of
power management. This is an okay tradeoff - I have to use it to get
stable reception at a longer range.

2) "iwconfig eth0 power off" I haven't had to do this one and it looks
more drastic but you can try and see if it increases the signal level.
