Hi,
I installed a 5300 AGN on a dell d630 running Windows 8 and Linux, replacing the factory default card.
It works perfectly, except that when connected to a 300Mbit AP in N mode, it slows down compared to G mode.
In N mode I cannot get it download more than 12Mbps. It does upload though at a rate of 70Mbps.
If I switch the AP In G-only mode, it downloads and uploads at 30Mbps.
I tried 2 different APs (Fritz 7270, TP-Link 941ND).
In all tests, the APs and the laptop are side by side. The tests are performed to a local samba server. When connected via Gbps LAN, the same laptop downloads and uploads at 800Mbps.
Windows 8 and Linux have exactly the same behaviour.
Any ideas of what could be wrong?
Regards,
Costa
