I own an Alienware 13 R3 which carries the Killer 1535 Network adapter. It is giving me terrible issues. Specifically, I can't get upload speeds better than 1 Mbps (as ridiculous as it may sound). After trying out all the available self-help tools (updated drivers, tried again, didn't solve the issue, completely uninstalled Killer software and downloaded most recent version, re-installed drivers, changed wireless settings in Device Manager) the issue persists.
I'm of the opinion the network adapter is damaged, and I need to replace it.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a wireless adapter that works well as a replacement for the Killer 1535?
Some internet posts recommend Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 card, and I seek opinions from people who may have already replaced their network adapters.
Thanks in advance for any opinions you may share.
Solved! Go to Solution.
The AX200 card is Intel based and a very stable adapter. At this moment it is probably the single most widely recommended WiFi card.
Today I replaced my network adapter.
It made all the difference in the world. I do not know why my previous adapter failed, but I am well aware no technology lasts forever. It happened after the warranty period (no coincidence, I believe :)) and the easiest (cheapest) option is to just replace the network adapter. Dell support costs more than the card, and it takes 10 minutes to replace.
The AX200 is providing > 300 Mbps upload and download, as expected. Good recommendation/confirmation, and thank you both.
Cheers!

I'll order an AX200 and give it a shot. Will post findings back after I receive the part.
