1. An apparatus comprising:

  • a wireless transceiver to send and receive data packets of X length via wireless communications;

    a network interface card coupled to said wireless transceiver, said network interface card to connect to another wireless device to form a wireless local area network; and

    firmware comprising control logic to calculate a packet error ratio (PER) value for said data packets, check whether said PER value is within an acceptable level, determine whether an intermittent interference is affecting said PER value, and step up data transfer rate at which future data packets are to be transmitted if said PER value is greater than a drop rate threshold and if an intermittent interference is detected.
