    Hi Everyone!

    Killer 1435 Wireless, hard capped at 108Mbps, while other devices on the same 5Gz network (Mac Pro 2019) sits at 300Mbps on speedtest.net. Upload 36Mbps for both devices.
    I've updated drivers, changed the wireless modes, installed and deleted various versions of the Killer suite ... Speed in connection properties says: 400 Mbps... but alas, actual speedtest.net (or download) speed does not get higher than 108Mbps...

    Is there any hope to match MAC OS rival? Any advice would be much appreciated!

    I'm not as familiar with that product but I think killer tends to rebrand Intel or Realtek products and add their software suite.

    Maybe if you find the oem and install its drivers as opposed to the killer suite you may have different behavior from that product.

    Thank you for the hint!

    I've tried to install Qualcomm Communications Inc. drivers from 5/19/2021 version 12.0.0.1118 (most recent I could find for Killer 1435)... and the speed still capped at 100 Mbps

    Any smart way to search for such a driver?

    its probably the method you might have used, but basically determine what the OEM is (Intel/Qualcomm/Realtek etc) and download it straight from their site. I have no direct experience with the 1435, does the limit stay in place even when standing right next to the router?
