    Hey there) Got this weird issue, pluged in Killer 1103 card in a laptop with all 3 antennas (upgrade from a stock wi-fi adapter it was shipped) but it shows my max speed of 300mbp/s rather than 450mbp/s? What did i do wrong? Thanks

    What router are you using? You'll only get 450Mbps on a select few routers. I have a Cisco e4200 and I think there are a handful of others that can do so as well. Make sure your channel width is set to auto or 40Mhz.

    Well, i own a Zyxel Keenetic router and it should support 450Mbp/s, it has 3 antennas but cost around 70$ :eek: After a screen replacement i noticed that 2 antennas were marked smth like 1-2, but the 3rd one like wimax... In theory, if you purchase Sager laptop with any adapater but Killer you can upgrade later on with absolutely no issues, right? (just to make sure it's my router problem...)

    And where can i find channel width option?

    Yes, the new WiFi card should just be plug-and-play essentially. The barebones clevo models generally ship with all three antennas, regardless of the card you have installed at purchase.

    My guess is your router is the problem though, because your WiFi is maxing out at 300Mbps, which is a pretty common N speed for a lot of routers.

    You can find the channel width options under control panel > network and sharing center > network adapters > right click properties on your adapter > configure > advanced.
