Just recently built a new system with this wifi card in it, and I am experiencing random lag spikes of up at 2000ms when pinging my E3000 router. I've tried the stock firmware on the router as well as the tomato variety I was using. I've tried both Windows 8 and Linuxmint 14 and the problem still exists. I did not have this issue on my laptop, nor do I have the problem with my wife's laptop. Is there any sort of setting in the bios that might affect this that I am overlooking? Could there be a problem with the antenna or maybe a hardware issue? I'm about to just call timewarner and have them relocate the cable modem to this room so I do not have to deal with wireless. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks
