The drivers are indeed up to date. The link is the same one I originally downloaded, and while it says that it was updated in September, the date on the driver itself is still 2014 (weird, right?)
WMM was not enabled on the router. I turned it on there, and also changed it to Enabled on the card settings, and now it's reporting around 150-250 Mbps based on interference, and is on 802.11n, which I suppose is better, but I'm still apparently not getting the AC connection I want.

At two bars of signal the Rate will drop significantly. The router ALWAYS broadcast in AC it cannot be disabled focus on the client and it's settings
