    Hey guys,

    I know this is out there somewhere but i havent been able to find it while searching the forums. I just got my M14x Thursday with the Killer Wireless N Card.

    First of all I do love this card so far. Streaming, Online gaming, and Web browsing is super fast and very smooth. HOWEVER When doing a speed test on my machine I am getting considerably lower Download speeds when compared to my iPhone.

    The package I have with my ISP is UP TO 25mb down. When using the speedtest.net app on my iPhone4s I am getting 15-20mb every time but when I do the same speedtest on my laptop I am getting on average 6-8mb with the exception on 16mb on one occassion. Am I missing something configuration wise?

    Dont get me wrong everything is fast and smooth but when downloading something I feel like its not as fast as it should be ya know? I considered that maybe its a router issue (I plan on buying a new one anyway) but if that were it then why is my iPhone getting super fast speeds everytime?

    PLEASE advise. Thanks in advance.
