DELL WIRELESS 1705 WIFI DRIVER
If you want the card that has the same features as the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 without the driver issues, I suggest this Broadcom card: I've had laptops with Broadcom 802.11g chips on them and so far they have performed excellent with no ping spikes. Even my Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 sometimes have ping spikes that results to lag while playing online games.

So to cut a long story short- the card is crap and in your setup as it is, it's working at it max speed - nothing you can do other than forcing 40MHz channels which would make it run at roughly 150mbps and your other devices at roughly 300mbps.Ĭlick to expand.I can't recommend Intel cards right now as they have driver issues that results to sporadic slow throughput. You could get higher speeds from all devices by setting 40MHz channels on router but that might not be possible since according to 802.11n specs routers should revert to 20MHz channels when there are neighboring networks running (and I'm pretty sure that are other 2.4GHz networks where you are). Max speed Atheros would be able to achieve in your setup would be 72 mbps with 400ns guard interval - with the same guard interval your other devices should be able to achieve 144mbps but seeing as Atheros manages this speed only for brief moments I assume other devices would only jump to 144mbps for a moment too(if even that). Since Atheros AR5B225 is based on a AR9004WB wireless chip which can only use 1 spatial stream it would be possible for this card to achieve speeds that are adequate at 20MHz channel with 1 spatial stream and 64-QAM modulation- which would be 65mbps. It's a bit complicated but overall it's correct.ġ30mbps is achievable only with 20MHz channel width and 2 spatial streams and 64-QAM modulation (and one of two coding rates).
