802.11n symbol with A6200

[fullyZ]

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?

Where are you looking in windows?

I just bought mine from Best Buy today, installed it. And it still says 802.11n..... a bit frustrating. I am connected at 468.0 Mbps. I am currently looking at my Wi-Fi Status.

If this doesn't say 802.11 ac by Friday, then I am returning it back to Best Buy.

What tool are you using to look at your wifi status?

If it makes you feel any better I'm using the Intel AC7260 and nothing I found so far denotes the connection as AC. INSSIDER shows my max connection at 450, I connect @866.7 all day long.

Sorry for the late reply... i was looking in the wifi status.. to me it connects up to 900 and stuff but performances are a joke, im coming from a 300Mbps adapter and my transfer rate in MB/s is the same.

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.
