@Patrick, thank for your advice, tried it yesterday and thank goodness it worked for me! i'd recommend others to try it out.
quick googling shows that this solution has been around for several months (!), it's a pity that nobody else found/mentioned that earlier here, but now it seems like a real work-around.

@Larry, should your patches simply improve signal quality or directly address this issue? i mean should i keep these settings "ips=0" and "fwlps=0" forever or your changes would directly affect them?

ps: btw @Larry, i don't know is this related or not, buy as my wifi adapter is 802.11n 300Mbps, i expect high connection speed. i got 70Mbps tariff from ISP, 802.11n 300Mbps router Zyxel Keenetic which promises up to 70Mbps over L2TP and gives 60+ Mbps over ethernet, but only 40+ Mbps max over wifi even if from 1 meter in-sight distance. is this expected behavior or not? could your patches help with it?
