Hey there! I noticed you're looking for advice about a new PCIe Wi-Fi adapter you just bought. After trying to install it, you're experiencing slow speeds—around 7 Mbps on your desktop and close to 200 Mbps on your MacBook. It seems like the issue might not be with your router. You've already installed the drivers from the box and some utility software, but they haven't helped much. The drivers appear to be outdated, possibly from around 1990. If you're open to suggestions, I'd appreciate any tips or alternatives before deciding to return it. Feel free to share what you find!

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, this only provides a PDF stating that the driving is included with Windows.

Please note the instructions clearly. Once you proceed (Windows 10 64 bit selected), try downloading the wireless driver from the provided link. This is merely a reference PDF I shared earlier.
