before this im using TP Link external wifi adapter because my laptop originally didnt detect WiFi...
the speed rate was 6-10 Mbps..
but after me repair the laptop driver *without TPLink* the speed was limit to 1.3Mbps..
when i check speed test..it can go over 13Mbps..
are this caused by driver or by the adapter?
and how me can use that 6-10Mbps speed...changing adapter or updating driver??

Actually, neither.
The ISP is responsible for the speed.
Correct me if I'm wrong but, doesn't all TP-Link adapters nowdays support speeds up to 150mb/ps? Also, having the latest drivers is always a good thing.

EDIT:
BTW, is that 1.3mb/ps the test result from speedtest or your actual download speed?

Also, what about the signal strength?
