802.11n symbol with A6200
I was wondering if there is a particular symbol for 802.11ac connection in windows... I can connect up to 866.5Mbps but windows is still showing 802.11n is it normal?

I've already tried 100 different HDD with all the possible file systems, USB3.0 doesnt change anything (as it should be).
To get descent speed and consistent link speeds, I had to flash my router to an older version, from R6300-V1.0.2.68_1.0.49 to R6300-V1.0.2.38_1.0.33. It didn't matter what adapter I used, A6200 (2 different ones), WNDR4100, AE3000, or the AE2500.
