    I would suggest to just uninstall your current driver and get a new one that is THE DRIVER ONLY and no bloatware. That killer network manager has never been great and is just causing problems. Ever since I got my Alienware with the killer network card I have been having latency problems with the bloatware on. After removing the bloatware and installing the driver only I am now one happy gamer. LOL
