I recently purchased my DWA-552 Wireless Network Adapter from a local Best Buy after being so satisfied with my DIR-655 performance. I installed everything without problems and noticed in my Wireless Network status properties that I am running at 300 Mbps or so it displays (See Picture). Because of this read I figured everything was working properly and I was good to go. So I log onto Warcraft 3 to play with a bunch of friends and host a game as I normally do. Turns out everyone in the game experienced chop.



Now because I refused to believe it was my spiffy new wireless connection I went searching through all my running programs investigating and closing things hectically. To my surprise, when all was said and done, nothing changed. My friend being as good as he is with Networking told me how to view my routers to adapter MBPS through the CPanel. He explained that this is more accurate than your 300MBPS display. Again to my surprise I see a low number. (See Picture)



I ran through the sticky and did everything it said and still no change. I can't figure it out, and it's quite bothersome. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Windows is reporting the connection speed. The router is reporting the data rate.

tdean,

What router are you connecting to and what settings do you have configured on it? Please ensure you have WPA encryption, cipher type set to AES, 20/40MHz and lock channel to something specific like 11.
