Updating the wireless card on a laptop
You're dealing with a messy setup on your Alienware 13R3. The 'Killer' 1435 is likely causing performance hiccups and instability. To remove it, open Device Manager, locate the network adapters section, and look for the 'Killer' entry. Right-click it and select "Uninstall." Be sure to follow any prompts carefully. If you're unsure, consider using a clean installation or a factory reset as a last resort. Let me know if you need more guidance!
Based on previous feedback, removing the Killer software resolves the issues you're experiencing.
The 'Killer' programs are 'Killer Wireless Driver' and 'Killer Ethernet Performance Suite Driver'. It's unclear if you can remove them via the uninstall menu in the control panel. Since you don’t use them, proceed with caution. You already own an Intel wireless card—consider donating the Killer 1435 to someone who needs it or selling it for a small profit.
