    Hello , i recently purchased the bigfoot 1102 , currently im using a intel 6200. The speed connecting to the router bounces all over from 70's to 300. I use it mainly to transfer files over data connection. Does the bigfoot have better signal?

    Mine's coming next week as I just ordered one.
    I heard Bigfoot Killer Wireless-N 1102 is more stable in speed compared to Intel 6200.
    Meaning that there is less "bounces" of speed.

    Search the forum. So many 6200 problems! That alone would decide it for me. Speed I probably limited by your source and range has a lot of variables. Have you tried diff chan?
