I believe this has settled into a constant speed of 702 mbps. 702 has been constant since I last posted. I have seen as high as 866 mbps in the same position in my library which again is 40 feet and two walls away. It was funny, I turned the black portion of the antenna horizontal instead of vertical and the speed went up. I have the 5 ghz freq set to channel 157 with WPA2 Personal. I have a 500 meg file which takes one third of the time to tranfer to from my NAS than the previous Intel 5300 AGN 3 antenna adapter running the latest driver. So, at least using the stand-alone setup file to install only the driver has worked here. I was curious to see what this router and adapter would do together, it rocks so far.
