Windows 8.1 WiMax N 6150

ARowl — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 18:30:04 GMT

I have a WiMax N 6150 wireless adapter in my Samsung Series 7 notebook. I updated to Windows 8.1 and since then have been experiencing wireless connection problems on all wireless networks. I've tried to update the driver, but it says it is up to date. I need help.

I have the same problem.... I also tried everything and nothing... I think it may need a driver update specific for this case.

At this moment the wireless adapter is using a Microsoft* inbox driver since we have not yet released a compatible driver for Windows* 8.1. We will keep you updated about future releases through the /community/tech/wireless Intel® Wireless Networking Community.

I still have this problem. I have temporarily "fixed" it by going into the device manager and disabling 802.11n on the adapter and all the problems seem to go away. It seems the adapter itself is still using a Microsoft Inbox Driver. I can't seem to find an intel one online anywhere. Is there one?
