Intel says the interface is AC yet 802.11/ac setting is nowhere to be found.
Aspire E 17 supposedly has a WLAN 802.11/ac with the network adapter Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165
(latest driver). But in the Devices a maximum of 802.11/n shows up for 5 Ghz which is what I have for the WLAN of my Acer Aspire E 17 laptop. Now if this Intel network card is truly AC why can I not find 802.11/ac ANYWHERE in the properties of this card?
And sure enough with my UPC ABO of 500/50 and half a meter from the Connect Box I get max 253 Mbits/s download speed. That is nowhere near ac download speed with no walls or distance to affect the data transfer.
With Ethernet I do get the 400-500 download which is O.K. but when I move the Acer into the next room and with WLAN the download drops massively from the 250 half a meter away. But this is understandable at 5 Ghz.
Does anyone have similar experience with that Intel wireless interface?
Thanks,
Peter
