I have a weird problem and I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. After long periods of inactivity my wireless card slowly decreases speed. Everything works great at 300tx/300rx for the most part, but I will wake up in the morning and it will have dropped to 11/11 until I enable/disable the card and then it reconnects at the full speed. It's the same during the day when I come home from work. I'm using Windows 8 on a Sager NP9150 with driver 16.1.5.2. Does anyone have an idea about which settings would cause it to behave this way?

Make sure that wireless set to "802.11n" only on the router.

It is set to 802.11n on the router. I turned off power management. I will turn on Intel's logging and post the overnight stream information.

I have seen this with the same card on a Windows 7 system. I think it is a driver issue. Did you ever resolve it on your side?

That happens to me as well if and only if the adapter is connected to 2.4 GHz. The only temporary fix is to buy a reliable WiFi AC router and only connect your laptop to WiFi AC.
It's a driver issue and the driver only excels in 5 GHz band regardless of Windows versions.
