I am extremely new to linux and am loving it so far. I'm just trying to work out some of the kinks and this is one of them.
Thanks for the help.

Hello,
the adapter supports only the 2.4 GHz band. → http://www.dlink.com/us/en/home-solu...esktop-adapter - Specifications

I still am unable to connect at the full 300mbs the card can do. It caps out at 130mbs. Wont go any higher.
I've done tons of searching and can't find anyone with a similar problem.

300Mbps denotes the gross transfer rate, 150Mbps net is a good realistic value. 180 Mbps with three transport-streams (3x mimo/Antennas) is the theoretical maximum.

hmm so even though its showing me 130mbs its multiplied and not telling me?
Is there a command to do a speed test or anything like that?
