This is where the card shows its "budget" roots compared to Intel counterparts. While it maintains a connection well, it can be slightly more sensitive to physical obstructions. In a "through-the-wall" scenario (e.g., one room away from the router), the signal drop-off is noticeable. It rarely disconnects completely, but you may see your link speed fluctuate more than you would with an Intel card. Brom Mode Driver | Mtk
