Is there a way to switch the connection mode of an unlimited network card

ghjcfrt — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 10:01:56 GMT

This is because the wifi5 and wifi6 of the campus wireless network fluctuates greatly and is extremely unstable in terms of signal strength and so on. So I need to force the NIC to connect using wifi4 when connecting to the campus wireless network.
I was hoping that there could be a way for me to force the card to use wifi4 (802.11n) when connecting to the campus network, while restoring the default for other networks.
NIC Model: Killer(TM) Wi-Fi 7 BE1750x 320MHz Wireless Network Adapter (BE200NGW)

I tried to use a script to automatically modify the registry, but when I looked at the registry I found that the WirelessMode entry for the NIC had a default value of 34. I didn't understand it, so I gave up!
If someone can tell me what 34 is, or if it's not WirelessMode but something else, it would be possible for me to restart the programme.

Of course any other ideas are welcome!

Hi ghjcfrt,

Thank you for posting in the Community.

I appreciate your efforts for reaching out and sharing the details of your issue. I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with unstable Wi-Fi connections, especially when you need a reliable network for your activities.

To better assist you, could you please provide some additional information:

Can you share the exact model of your campus access point Wi-Fi network (e.g., Wi-Fi 5, Wi-Fi 6)?
Have you updated the drivers for your Killer (TM) Wi-Fi 7 BE1750x 320MHz Wireless Network Adapter (BE200NGW) to the latest version?
What are the current network settings on your device (e.g., 802.11a, 802.11n, 802.11b)?
Is your device a laptop or a desktop?
Was the Wi-Fi 7 adapter pre-installed on your device, or did you upgrade to it?

Best regards,

1.WiFi6

2.是

3.默认是802.11be

4.笔记本电脑

5.It used to be ax201. I upgraded him.

Most of the time the access points are as in the picture, with the strongest a/n signal strength at 5ghz. However, there are times when the signal from the ax access point suddenly increases and exceeds the a/n. The card will automatically switch to the ax access point, but in reality, the quality of this access point is extremely poor, and the internet speed will drop from 150+mbps to 20-60mbps, and the jitter will jump to 50-100ms.

In fact, it was because ax201 came up with this that I replaced the NIC. After replacing the NIC I was able to use killer intelligence centre which allowed me to confirm the cause of the problem. (Although I thought it was the router, the ops wouldn't check the device and said it was the NIC)
