    Hello,

    I've had the NP700Z5C for a few months now, and just updated my router to the asus rt-n66u which works great!

    I am using the 2.4ghz on 20/40 auto,

    the Issue is, when I select on the samsung laptop the channel width to AUTO ( which is 20/40mhz) to get 300Mbps it works for approx 35 minutes, and than drops to 2.0Mbps and become useless.. I can't figure out why it is doing that .. because

    I also have the np700z5a with the broadcom wifi card, and that can maintain 300Mbps for hours with no issues at all.

    Any help. or something would be appreciated. what is the point of having these devices if we can't use the full wifi speed during transfers etc.

    1. You can see if there is a newer driver at Intel.
    2. See if it works better if you switch off the Bluetooth.
