    I'm not that computer literate so please bear with me. I was having problems with my computer dropping my wireless connection and so I decided to delete the Killer wireless application and drivers and download and install a new version. The problem is that after downloading and installing a new version of the software my computer cannot find any wireless networks (it can typically see mine and several neighbors' networks). I went into device manager and the Killer driver appears to be installed and working. When I run the network troubleshooter it states that I have a problem with the driver. I have a 64 bit machine, do I need a 64 bit version of the driver (which I could not find)?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    I suggest you download and install Killer Performance Suite 1.1.49.1068

    Qualcomm/Atheros Killer Performance Suite Version 1.1.49.1068

    The 1st stage of the installation is to uninstall the old driver/software.

    Then after a reboot it will install the new version.

    Do you have 3 antennas connected to the 1103 or only 2?

    With 2 it will perform like a 300 Mbps Killer 1102

    Does your router support 450 Mbps that's needed for the 1103 with 3 antennas connected to have a 450 Mbps link speed on the 5ghz band?

    Before the Intel AC-7260 wireless card came out I used an 1103 with 3 antennas and got steady 450 Mbps link speed on 5ghz with Netgear WNDR450,and R6300 routers
