Bigfoot Killer Wireless-N 1103 compatability

I also had issues with the E4200 and went back to the e3000 instead. Several of my components would not see the e4000 while the e3000 was always there. Never understood what the problem was.

 

Bigfoot support answered me. They have a problem with wow and they are working on it with blizzard. About FF problems they suggested that it can be addons issue. Will plug in bigfoot card again and test it. I can say that their support is very kind and really trying to help. So if it will go this way further all starting issues of this new product will be solved in new software and drivers updates. I hope they will keep on working on them constantly.

 

yep so did others...

 

I installed the 1103 on my M17x-R2 to replace my Intel Ultimate-N 6300. So far, the 1103 >> 6300, even though I used prioritizing and direct pinging with the 6300.

 

If I replace the 6200 with the 1103 do I also lose bluetooth?

 

Unless you have a separate Dell module for Bluetooth, you will lose bluetooth if you make the upgrade.

 

Update:

10$ off the shipping (US&Canada) starting from today! We've been approved for this special pricing due to the volume of orders shipped in the last few weeks.

The new price should be available on our website any moment

 

Good news!

I plan to order one this week.

 

I wanna buy it , but I have a question ; Do the 1103 load fast?

Because my u6300 load really slow , when I boot my window , the wireless still loading , my steam , msn , etc says I failed connect to the internet.
Any advise anyone? Appreciate it.

Tested Intel driver , not working either.

 

It loads blazing fast from what I've seen so far, never had failures to connect and my main drive is Crucial M4 SSD.

 

Thanks , I'm buying it now and test it out. I believe you have around 10sec boot-up speed right?
The 6300 has good range , but its kinda useless because 99% of the internet was secured lol.

PS : can I buy 2 stickers? lol.

 

Yes, it's about 10sec.

Do you need 2 stickers?

 

Woot! Getting my card tomorrow! It is here just needs to be delivered! Excitement is brewing!

 

I never had issues to connect and I use the fastest MLC SSD on the market.

 

I had replacement , I tested both of the u6300 , they are slow loading..it still appear the O spinning circle when I get to desktop , sometimes it appear /!\ is that my mother board problem? Also I just paid for N1103.

 

Sounds to me more like a router or router setting problem.

D.

 

Tested , x2 office , home , friend's house all of em , still slow loading , just hope this u1103 fix my problem.

 

I went down to fortnax and picked mine up last week. My 1103 connects to the Internet faster than I can type in my screen password and click on google chrome.

You will love your 1103

 

Man , you should pick up for me too! JKJK

Well , since you have experience with the 1103 , I'll believe you , my friend.

 

Just installed my 1103 and man I gotta say it is a lot faster. I have lower ping in games and less jitter.

Ping with the 6300 in League of Legends was around 90-110 ms would spike to 300-400

ping with the 1103 in LoL is around 77-82 ms no spikes at all.

Jitter with the 6300 was between 14-20 ms

jitter with the 1103 is 3-5 ms

I am extremely happy, and I am sure once I get my new router I will have even lower ping and Jitter. My Netgear is old and I have dropped it a couple of times so I know that is not really functioning well. Gonna try BC2 out now

The ping in BC2 with the 6300 was around 120-150 and would spike higher to almost 200

will edit When I see what it is with the 1103.

 

Glad you are happy with the card! Enjoy!

I've noticed a funny thing, we have a small wireless network at the office and whenever I'm downloading large chunks of data the killer monopolizes the entire channel choking up all other connections, lol. I'm sure it can be managed through the router properly but still, very funny

 

Those killer , killed intel n6300

 

Ya, this card has really impressed me because the difference is extremely noticeable. With the 1103 when loading in bad company 2 I load actually faster than with the 6300 I used to load really slow and I would see this in FRAPS my frames would drop to 1 -8 from 150-180. With the 1103 I no longer have this issue! My ping also dropped from 120-150 to 90-100 and the higest spike I saw was 154 which is a lot better. Again I know for sure my router is bottlenecking this card I will post again when I get a new router I am also on a 20/2 MBPS line.

 

I was expecting to hate its QoS application but its actually really really good.

I ordered a Linksys E4200 router so that I can test its 450mbps speed properly.

 

Hey guys. I just got the 1103 card for my M17XR2. I was wondering what the 3 wire configuration was or if it mattered which port each got plugged into. Looking at the card from left to right, I attached black, grey, then white. Is this correct? Or does it matter? It seems to work so maybe it doesn't matter. My old Dell card had each port labled, the Bigfoot doesn't.
Thanks

 

It goes like this from Left to right Black - Grey - White. You got it right!

 

Nice. Thanks! +1.

 

I have to say that I am really impressed with the card so far.

I have not noticed any ill effects, my wireless connection is stable and even stays connected at 450mbps (my 6300 usually fluctuated between 250-450).

Overall quite happy and if only fortnax had the cheaper shipping when I first bought it I would have gotten it from them/him

D.

 

I also just noticed that with my 6300 I would stay @ 270mbps on this Netgear, but on the 1103 I am sitting at 405 MBPS? This router can only go to 270MBPS.

It is a WNR834B v2, I don't get why it is so high, but I am not complaining.

Bigfoot uses black magic there for sure

 

Lol, It has to be using some form of magic here. I wish I would have taken a snapshot of the 6300 connected at 270 to show you guys, but I didn't think the 1103 would connect at a different and much higher speed especially one that exceeds the routers specs.

I wish they sold the Killer Wireless-N 1103 separately.


I want to buy one.


It's nice to see some competition in wireless cards.

 

You can buy it separately.... in this thread infact you can.

 

Yes, just shoot me a PM, we have a special shipping discount for shipping to Europe

 

That sounds great.

The only reason I was reluctant was due to delivery charge.

 

What upgrade would I see over the standard intel 6200?

 

How come on the m18x configuration it says:

Killer™ Wireless-N 1103 a/g/n 3x3 MIMO for Gaming & Video and Bluetooth 3.0 [Add $80.00 or $3.00/month1]

I thought there would be no bluetooth with the killer card?

 

M18x has a separate slot for the bluetooth, the bluetooth comes by default and is unaffected by your wi-fi card selections.

 

Oh cool, so what do we lose by upgrading to the killer card Aiki? Will we still be able to use bluetooth?

 

You lose nothing and will still be able to use bluetooth.

 

awesome!!!

 

I was bore today and since I just bought my Sager with this card I decided to read all 30 pages and I must say Aiki is really impressive on how he answer every question and never leave a single question ignore even if it doesn't not benefit him.

I wish more reseller is like him and what a representation for the company as a whole.

I'm really happy with my purchase now that I know how awesome this card really is!

 

which order do you put the antennas in? I have not unpacked my card yet but does it say on the card?

 

Look at your previous wireless card (If n6300 it tells u the colour)



White Grey Black

 

sadly i had the 6200, i guess grey in the middle thanks

 

yep, the grey is in the middle

 

Any one here with the killer -1103 and Apple airport extreme set up? this is the router I have but I want to see if there is no compatibility issues before I buy the wireless card here is the link for the router Apple - AirPort Extreme - Technical Specs

 

^ Both of them are based form Atheros wireless chip. The airport has the latest generation. They are actually gonna complement each other.

 

Thanks Patrick

 

So any one know the order to connect the cables an the M18 with Killer 1103?
