What are the most optimal properties for the A7000?

Wanting to optimize the settings for my A7000, I've tried looking up ideal adapter properties online, but most resources I've found either don't list the options I can see, or only mention adapters from different manufacturers.

This is what I see.

Let me know if there's any other information I should provide

    For the most part, the defaults tend to work the best with windows. 

    What actual speeds are you getting over 2.4ghz and 5ghz?

    Also keep in mind that speeds over 5ghz drop off quickly with distance/obstructions

      Wi-Fi Network we have setup is 5ghz, according to what it says on the Network and Sharing Center, the speed is around 1.3 Gbps.

      As for distance/obstructions, there's not really much I can do about that. I am basically upstairs from the router, but thankfully the router is only in the room directly below me, don't know if that's going to interfere with it too much.

        Are you having problems with it? 

        Or why are you searching for optimal settings?
        If you're connecting with a 1.3gig link speed, thats as good as its going to get as its a dual band device (1.3gig over 5ghz, 600mbps over 2.4ghz)
