Bigfoot Networks KillerN-1202 Notebook Wireless Card

My Gigabyte P35 had unreliable wifi that kept going in and out. I tried every software fix and workaround I could, before trying out this card to replace the one it came with. This card fixed my problem. I dropped it in, Windows 10 recognized it, and it worked without having to take any extra steps.

System: Asus ROG G75VWOS: Windows 7 ProfessionalRouter: NetGearWiFi works great with my netgrear router. I was able to get 300mbps over 5Ghz band. BlueTooth works great with all my devices including floating speaker from brookstone, Turtle Beach XP500 headset and my apple wireless mouse. Really like the Killer wifi manager application that comes with the drivers that allow you to set priority for certain applications to allocate more bandwidth for that individual appilcation.The only flaw that I have found was that the wireless card was unable to get internet access from my iphone 5 hot spot. I was able to connect to my other computers and phones via the hot spot without a problem. I'm able to connect to the card but no internet connection. Not sure where the problem resides where it be with windows or the card its self.Overall great card that replaced my Intel centrino ultimate-n 6300 which did not have built in BlueTooth.

Best wifi card I ever bought. I bought it to replace a Junky Intel 6235 Wifi card that was ticking me off and I have to say the card is faster than any other card I have used in a side by side it blew past my intel 6300 in my Other notebook. when more become available I will switch out my other computers asap. just download the drivers from bigfoot networks site ahead of time it when I downloaded the driver over Ethernet it took 2 hrs on my cable connection where I was able to download from station-drivers.com in 2 minutes, but decided to wait on bigfoots copy.I currently as of 11/24/12 use it in my new Dell xps 12 Ultrabook convertible.

I purchased this card to replace the slow non-5GHz WiFi card in my Sony Vaio T13 ultrabook.The Wi Fi part of the Killer N 1202 works great. I am able to download torrents directly to a NAS with 50 mbit/s and stream an HD movie from the NAS at the sme time. The Killer N 1202 connects at 300 mbit to the 5 GHz band of my router and the connection has not dropped ever in the 2 weeks I have used it. There is no spot in my flat where it will not connect. The signal drops to 85% when there are two walls between the laptop and the router but no performance is lost. I easily find WiFi hotspots when on the go. I had a bit of trouble downloading the driver due to issues with Bigfoot's site but htey resolved them and I managed to download it. Make sure you have the driver before installing the card. The Killer N software is great for setting priorities of different programs.I am not able to comment on the Bluetooth part of the card because due limitations of my ultrabook the bluetooth is not discoverable. My research showed that all users that replaced the WiFi cards in the Sony Vaio T13 were not able to get the bluetooth to work due to lack of hardware wireless switch on the ultrabook (no matter what the model of the replacement card was). I was a bit disappointed at first but I realised this is not an issue of the Killer N 1202 but of the ultrabook and it does not justify lowering the score for the product.

I have received the fastest shipping from this vender then i have from anyone. package came as described and was well packaged. and you can tell the item is in new condition. please note that the vender is selling the OEM part, nothing else. you can find the drivers at the main website ([...]). if you do not know what drivers are or not tech savy enough to remove the item, you should not be attempting to install this yourself. though you can always watch youtube videos on installation however i don't recommend it. I highly recommend a professional install this for you if you don't know what you are doing.

This is an awesome wireless card! Just replaced this awful Intel Centrino Wireless-N 6235 that I have had in my Samsung ATIV Book 8 for 2 years and it took quite a bit of searching around to find the appropriate drivers. You can no longer find the drivers on Qualcomm's website, but can find them at the link below.http://www.station-drivers.com/index.php/downloads/Drivers/Qualcomm-Atheros/Killer-Serie-%28Lan-WLan-Bluetooth%29/Qualcomm-Atheros-Killer-Performance-Suite-Version-1.1.49.1068/This should take you to the driver suite that was released 07/2014. The drivers work perfectly on Windows 8.1, but are also bundled with Windows 8 and Windows 7 drivers. The driver package includes the MSI Killer network tool that comes in handy if you would like to manage performance of the card. It will show individual statistics for how much data a particular application is using. So far, I have had absolutely no issues with this card and it has not dropped connection at all, whereas the Centrino 6235 would drop around every 10-15 minutes.When it comes to games such as World of Warcraft, Star Trek Online, or any other MMORPG, response time absolutely has to be as low as possible. With the Intel, I could not rely on it for PvP against other players or raiding. Now I can go into a raid confident that the only thing that might drop connection would be my modem. Same thing for downloading large files. I can't tell you how upset I would be going and downloading a new linux distribution for my desktop overnight to come back in the morning and find out that the adapter's power management shut it off mid-download during the night. Again, this is no more with the Killer 1202. I am very happy with this card!
