    Hi,
    Just installed the Atheros mini-pcie card in my old laptop...after some driver hurdles with the BSOD, it's now running ok.

    What I'm not sure about is the settings I need to change...my speed right now is pretty slow...around 2 MB/s. I tested this by copying a file over the network...not sure if there are better tools to check this. The DIR-655 software says the speed is about 54Mbps which seems like crap...

    - What settings do I need to change/check in the driver advanced settings for the atheros card?
    - What do I need to set in the DIR-655?
    - I have only 2 out of 3 antennas hooked up...will this cause a major problem with speed or is it more of a reception issue?
    - Anything else?

    Thanks.
