Ok, my rig is http:// I have swapped in 2 3tb toshiba hard drives, and amd r9 380x 4gb gpu, an asrock H170 Pro4 motherboard, G skill 16gb ram sticks 2133mhz. My wireless card is an Asus PCE N15 Wireless n adapter. The router is a Netgear WNR2000V5. I have Xfinity 50mbps down, 5mbps up, although I recently got an email from comcast saying they were bumping the max down speed up to 75, I think. Machine is on the latest Win10 version.
My issue: My wifi on my desktop has never been super fast. It usually maxed out at around 25mbps with the old, built in wifi card that came with the rig. When I upgraded my mobo and processor, the old card would not fit. So I got the one I listed up above. Most of the time it gets around 10-15mbps, but for the last few days, like it was a few weeks ago, the wifi connection to the network is around 3-4 out of 5 bars, yet the internet routinely drops off randomly, after only about a minute online. I have changed around so many settings, flushed the dns, configured settings, etc.
But what I recently noticed is that when I look at my wireless adapter in it's advanced settings, there are no options for any n speed channels. I used the cmd and it showed my adapter has b, g and n capability. My old laptop, a windows 7 machine, connects to the router on the 2.4ghz channel with n capability, and gets around 65mbps down, according to the two speed tests I used.
So, why, if my windows 10 pc has n capability, alongside the router that has n capability, why am I getting zero options on my pc for any n channels like my older laptop has?
I have used a few third party driver update tools, and all of my drivers are up to date, so I have no idea as to why I cant get the fastest option I can have. Please, can someone help me out?
