Killer Network Wireless Adapter 1535 problems

Then could somebody explain me, please, how killer chip can be the fastest, if signal's speed (ping) is worse then on Acer's old laptop?

For example, my laptop is downloading (f.e. from torrents) good (on a high speed), but when you are browsing it's horrible! Bad ping is showing himself.

That's why I've used the word "think" that yours Killer chip is workable.

I've used at least 3 versions of drivers - the latest from Suite 279; 217 and 260 on 2 Killer chips and everything the same: big ping, router drops and slow Miracast сonsequently...

Maybe you can find the same driver I'm using?

Sorry, somebody else will have to, I can't, because my pings are just fine (also, I don't have an old Acer laptop). Could not be happier with it. :-)

I'm sorry, I got the impression that you thought maybe I was mistaken about how well my Killer wifi is working. Believe me, I'm not; it is excellent. Browsing is fine, can't tell the difference between wired and wireless. File transfers of all sizes work fine, and I have long uptimes with no need to reset the wifi, ever (quite different from how this was when I received the laptop).

I think a 2TB directory sync over wireless is a pretty fair test, no problems there.

Look, I know exactly what you are experiencing, because my laptop was the same when new, but it is 100% OK now, has been for the past 11 months or so. Originally wifi wouldn't run for even a few hours without slowing down and dying.

Killer Network Manager is 1.1.57.1686, but previous releases worked fine (as long as they weren't the original Dell one). IIRC, 1.1.56.1590 fixed the problem, subsequent updates (1.1.56.1603, 1.1.56.1651, 1.1.57.1679) all worked fine. I've had 1.1.57.1686 installed since March 2016.

I've used the same driver's version 210 as you. It's pre-installed version by Windows (the oldest one). But my problem remains anyway.

I can transfer 2TB on my home router (Linksys) also without drops, but huge ping remains and I can't use wireless desktop properly.

On 3 office routers (two TP-links, one Asus) it's just impossible to work for anyone, when i'm starting my laptop.

Cause Dell support had send me another Killer chip after Techical diagnostic, I' writing now the memoirs letter about "how I am having problems for 2.5 bucks?" And only then they will send me the Intel chip maybe.

I'll play ball. What setup and exact version do I need to run so the killer runs without issues. Am I losing the advantages of a Killer card by not using the Killer Network Manager? My new laptop arrives today.

Well, knowing Dell as I do, it will come with the bad drivers already on it.   (I'm a 27 year IT Pro and I have a Pet peeve about shoddy driver support.)

Atheros cards are known to have issues BTW.

I also have full logging capabililites for my enterprise grade ap's, so I can diagnose wireless issues from both sides.

Generally, the steps are:

Unpack laptop

Switch it on

Initialise Windows

Enjoy!

Don't waste time worrying about something that while it might be a problem for some people, isn't a problem for most; it is highly likely that you will have no problems.

Then you can return your Intel wifi card :-) 

Windows 10 is force updating a Killer wifi  driver from 10-16-16 should be interesting to see the results.

Can you please email killersupport@rivetnetworks.com directly when you get a chance?  For some reason the previous email did not make it to our ticket system.  We'll need a diagnostic to see if we can troubleshoot this problem with you.

To obtain diagnostics, you go to C:\Program Files\Killer Networking\Network Manager\KillerDiagnose\KillerDiagnose.exe. If you are running our older software, this may instead be located at C:\Program Files\Qualcomm Atheros\Network Manager\KillerDiagnose\KillerDiagnose.exe. Please run this and attach the output/results to your email.

Please be sure to send it with a title about your ping issue so I can make sure I see it and match it with you once it comes in.

I have an AW 17 R3 and this was also one of the issue i have encountered. Downloading and installing form Dell Download support page will just make things more complicated sooner. I found out the hard way, since my motherboard was replaced, a fresh installation was needed and guess what, no default image recovery for my unit, so luckily, Windows 10 updated all the drivers. The only thing I needed to manually updated was the graphics drivers. Wifi was fixed but windows 10 take good care of it.

So…Technical Support changed the chip and antennas, they disassembled my new laptop (cause the antenna lies around the display), but problem remains!! Ping is huge!...so bad that I can't upload the screenshots here...ping is 100 ms!

Can you imagine how I’m using internet with such ping?....i’m not talking about wireless display – it’s absolutely impossible to use!

I've made the Killer diagnostic and start to read this report and found in “Network protocols” that “ms_ndiswanlegacy – NDIS-driver is outdated” Can it be fault cause? Who knows?

Should it helps, if Dell will change my laptop on new?

Or it's the only way to buy the Intel chip?
