This frustrated me for over a year. I moved to a house and wanted to give my gf a reprieve from the wires I used to run through our apartments. But, I’ve been dealing with connection drops and speeds of around 1.2 Mbps.

I figured it was the walls until I setup a “slow” 2G network for an old printer and my PC was at full speed when connected to it. Figured out that it was a driver issue a few weeks ago. This is a problem I haven’t had since around 2000. Never would have guessed that the device I chose for compatibility and support would have a driver that flakey.



This specific bug mostly impacts AP mode. If you can get a connection over 5+GHz at all, you're probably dealing with a different driver issue.
