Do I have a Killer WiFi card?

Hello, just wondering if I have a Killer WiFi card. Looking at my Dell configuration list, I see:

MW04C1Card, Wireless, KILMERPEAK22
WXK2J1LABEL..., WIRELESS..., BLUETOOTH..., 380, WORLD WIDE..., CSMB
8J8NV0 SERVICE CHARGE..., APPLICATIONS..., WIRELESS..., 6250, WIMAX, ANW
9NWYM0 SERVICE CHARGE..., APPLICATIONS..., WIRELESS..., 6250, WIRELESS FIDELITY..., ANW
CG33M1 LABEL..., REGULATORY..., WIRELESS..., 6250, CNB

These are all the things that are related to my wireless. I don't know why Dell can't just use normal wording to make this less confusing.

Thanks.

No you don't, that is what you have. Intel 6250

Darn, thanks. Yeah, I thought that the 6250 and Killer could be 2 separate cards since it says KILMERPEAK22. Oh well, not biggie.

Thanks for your help .

 

Look in Device Manager under "Network adapters" and it should be more obvious by looking at the name of your wireless card.

Intel's project codename for the WiMAX 6250 AGN mini-PCIe adapter is Kilmer Peak.

 

Ahhh that makes so much sense. Thanks so much. That's the WiFi card that I have.

 

The 6250 will give you way less of a head ache. Killer cards do not play well with Dell / Alienwares. Look up all the threads people have had trouble. I pulled mine out and went with a intel and have not had any problems since. And the Killer went into the garbage...

 

Thanks for the insights, it's actually known that the killer card has better speeds but the driver support isn't the best one.

 

From what I can see, Killer cards don't play nice with anything. The problems they have are not unique to Dell/Alienware... just goes with having that brand. I wish Dell/Alienware would stop using their products and stick with Intel WiFi for everything.

 

True, As soon as I got rid of mine it was like my r4 was happy. If people want some speed by the new Intel AC. wow its fast.

 

Did you get the AC 7260? I to have been having lag and speed problems.

 

Ya I did. I had the 6200 series then I bought the 7260, since the latest Intel driver from there site it rocks.. Man when you hook up to a 5g modem my connection is insane fast.

 

Too bad we can't get cellular wireless with speeds like this...

 

I followed the instructions from Luis Porras posted on getting the right driver for the Killer Suite package. Which I found was not installed on my new system (strange) not..
Seems to have helped we will see today.

Very happy with the numbers now. The driver update helped a lot, funny the Killer Suite was not installed from the factory.
