I think Dell is putting 10/100 cards in these boxes, but I need to verify that. Anyhow my ACER is set to 5 Ghz and I usually get close to my 175 Mbps when I'm connected in my basement studio, 15 feet from the Xfinty modem.Īnother interesting note is when I connect to ethernet I can't get much more than Wifi. At first I was upset but then I remembered these are budget boxes and a dollar here and there will add up in high volumes. This is when I discovered Dell ships these with a 2.4 Ghz card. I got it in and noticed right away Wifi speed around 25Mbps, so I went through the settings following advice from this forum and got it up 60-70 Mbps, which still not up to my cheap ACER laptop or 10 yr old HP Pavillion.
I know I was buying a budget PC and wasn't paying attention to all the details except the CPU, RAM and drives. I recently bought a 3670 and I got this at the outlet store for 30% off, couldn't pass up that deal. :Yes: That said, download Intel PROSet/Wireless Driver/Software 21.40.5 or download Intel PROSet/Wireless Driver/Software 21.70.0, apply the update, and don’t forget to perform a system reboot to ensure all changes take effect properly.I don't have a solution for you but I'm assuming you have the PC connected to 5Ghz? Is there anyway it could be defaulting or something back to 2.4 Ghz? Last but not least, these versions are also suitable for Intel’s Tri-Band Wireless-AC 17265/18260/18265, Wireless-AC 9260/9461/9460, Wireless-N 7265, and the latest Wi-Fi 6 AX200 and AX201 devices. In addition to that, Intel manages to remove the error encountered when enabling Mobile hotspot in Windows Settings, fix Fan settings when the system is in airplane mode, corrects a few issues seen when resuming from sleep, and includes the same functional and security improvements.Īs for the supported hardware, this fresh update is to be applied on computers containing one of Intel’s Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165, 3168, 7265, 8260, or 8265 (+ Desktop Kit), or Dual Band Wireless-N 7265 adapters.
When it comes to the 21.70.0 update, these files will fix device throughput when connected to a 5 GHz network, remove a Windows Stop Errors (BSOD) caused by the Intel Wireless Driver, and make sure system wakes up when Magic Packet is received and Wake on WLAN is enabled. Also, since Intel says this might be the last update for these platforms, it would be a good idea to install this version. Specifically speaking, the 21.40.5 release only includes functional and security updates for the supported operating systems. Intel has rolled out new PROSet/Wireless driver updates, namely version 21.40.5 for Windows 7 and 8.1 platforms, as well as version 21.70.0 suitable only for Windows 10 OSes, which highlight quite different changelogs.
