I have an Asus 302L laptop which has an Intel dual band AC7260 wireless adapter. Also have an ASUS RT-N66U Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Router. My husband has an HP laptop with an Intel wifi Link 1000 BGN wireless adapter. Running speedtest side by side in the room, His measures 82Mbps mine 24. I have the latest intel driver 17.16.0.4 I have tried some of the tweaks on this forum. Nothing is speeding mine up. Any suggestions?
