    Hello everyone
    I have an aorus x7 pro with the killer lan(works fine!) and Killer wifi 1202(not working well)

    I have windows 8.1 and get constantly lost of packets and spikes when im playing. If i start a game(even offline game), it starts to get lag spikes and them drops all my traffic

    Already did some steps like :
    - Disable ipv6
    - Set wifi maximum power
    - Some Regedits
    - Disable network scan when wifi is connected(helped in some spikes at every 60 seconds)
    - All the drivers, using killerclean before installing new drivers
    - More then 3 routers and connections

    My old asus notebook gaming and my Dell works fine ! Even my samsung cellphone works fine. Killer support is taking more than a week to answer my email and im running out of ideas

    Can anyone help me ?

    Have you tried installing the most recent Atheros driver? Just the driver, no Killer Suite etc.
    Killer 2012 is simply an Atheros QCA2282 and a Killer sticker so it should work fine and in the past using plain Atheros driver has helped some people.

    i think the atheros stuff only works with lan, and my lan is ok
    I don´t think the Killer suite is doing something wrong, since it works fine with LAN(QoS works fine!)

    but i will give a shot.

    Try this one. It works for most Atheros wireless chipsets.

    Use the installer and if it fails to find one suitable the right inf is the one in folder Drivers\81x64 (assuming you have 64 bit Windows) - in the inf section there is "%ATHR.DeviceDesc.k1202% = ATHR_DEV_OS61_K1202.ndi, PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0034&SUBSYS_20031A56" which is the one you have.
