I tried reinstalling drivers and tinlering around with it, but I am all out of fresh ideas. Any suggestions. I use an Netgear WNR3300 router and all of my other wireless devices pick up the N signal. As far as I know it has never picked up a wireless N signal, so could this be a defect or something else. Thanks. 12/11/2012 6:16:24 PM |

Are you at 5gig or 2.4gig? Some crappy devices don't support the 5gig .n band. 12/11/2012 6:55:41 PM |

According to this it has 5ghz but I can set it one setting where it has 2.4gz, so how would I go about changing this setting?

try looking in the advanced section of the driver options. alot of the time network adapters have driver options you can configure there like link speed on ethernet, macaddress, etc... wireless options will be there too. 12/11/2012 8:54:19 PM |

OK I set it to run N on 2.4ghz but my crappy card is still only allowing me to get a maximum download speed of 20mb although I have the 30/5 package from TWC. The upload speed is 5mb just as it should be. I think I'll just get a new card, any suggestion, or possible work-arounds in this situation? 12/12/2012 11:42:02 AM |

2.4 is not good. But even at 5 gig, depending on the test, you may not see a difference. My strong suggestion is to avoid, at all costs, devices running at 2.4. I would even consider running a bridged AP that serves a 2.4 SSID and leave your main router at 5 gig only. The 2.4 band is too noisy. Absolute garbage. I hate wireless so much. 12/18/2012 6:34:50 AM |
