Recently installed this card on my new desktop running Windows 8. Get really slow speeds on it. Less than 100KB/s while my laptop gets at least 1MB/s. Tried updating drivers and it told me they were up to date.
 


I downloaded the driver and used the device manager to browse for the driver, but it just told me I already had the best driver installed.

Edit: I figured out how to switch drivers
 


Speed still lags around 100KB/s
 


I checked the window it said to check and this is what it showed.http://i.imgur.com/Sd3ANNm.png

I also moved the pc closer to the router and now get 500KB/s to 1MB/s so I guess that works.
 


Yeah but the wireless card only takes me as high as 1mbps anyway. I'm not trying to go for 300mbps .
