Hi,
So I bought the G1 sniper some time ago to upgrade from a MSi X58M (Wanted USB3.0 and Sata 3.0).
It came with some big foot network killer on board card (Killer... indeed). I've never cared much for this, for me.. if I can plug an ethernet cable in and receive in full my 60mb/s connection then great, that's all I need. Ethernet, USB.. wireless,.. I don't mind (I'm next to the router).
This card is hell though, literally hell. It boots up a window every time with my PC which regardless of me changing the setting for it in it's preferences it keeps doing. It then tests my network speed, and in order to let it give priorities to some applications it then restricts to the max it found. It tested and found 16mbs one day, and therefore that was the max it would let me use until I eventually found out what was causing it. It took me ages ( booted into safemode and saw my 60mb/s on speedtest .. then back to non-safe mode and it was back to 16mb/s ) to find it and fix it.
Finally, now I'm working away from home as well as at home, I want remote access. I think this is the only card i've ever seen without WoL.
I game rarely, but I don't expect to see any new problems. I would just like a reliable card which can take the 60mb/s (Maybe 100mb soon), without taking over my PC. It needs to have WoL. It's a bit frustrating since I also wanted a front USB header for that PCI slot since the one on my motherboard lost one of it's pins, but.. it's more important than I have internet
.
Please can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
