    Networking Issue, Any Ideas?

    Ok Guys,

    So I've recently been in contact with the Killer E2200 networking team the past month attempting to get this problem figured out. As a last ditched effort I figure I'd give you guys a shot.

    So I recently built a new gaming rig which has the Z97 Fatal1ty board, which houses the E2200 Killer NIC. Upon the build I noticed several issues which seemed like the bandwidth control was causing some issues. I could only use one "network function" at a time, any other action would be shutdown. What I mean by that, for example: I open a browser tab and start downloading a file, attempt to open second browser tab "Unable to connect to internet" will display on the browser tab. Another would be, say I log into a online game and I'm playing fine, none of our phones in the house will be able to use wifi. It goes for everything like this, download a file, then try and join a online game no servers will be listed. So short version, only ONE online function at a time works everything else fails.

    So things I've done:
    • Disabled the E2200 bandwidth control function through their command applet. No change
    • Disabled the E2200 bandwidth control through device manager of the devices properties. No change
    • Reinstalled latest firmware of E2200, repeated first two. No change
    • Deleted E2200 command app and went with ONLY base driver(no software bandwidth control). No change
    • By-passed the DIR-655 and hardline straight into the E2200, same effect. No change

    So obviously its not the DIR-655 (QoS, never enabled it) since its removed from the equation but I'm searching for any outside ideas. Only thing else I can think of is purchasing a Intel PCIE NIC and by-passing the E2200 as the only solution.

    Any ideas let me know.

    Google tells me this is common, and the common solution is to use qualcomm Atheros AR8161 drivers instead and getting rid of all the killer network software because it is trash. Some also just say to disable the network control app.

      Only thing I've seen online re: Killer:
      is that the software (Qualcomm Atheros Performance Suite is what they called it)is what is actually causing bluescreens, lags, bandwith limitations, connection losses, blocking entire net communication etc..

      Got from year old forum post but thought might help... might be totally not the same thing either lol

        Yea I've read about people going to the Atheros driver, I just tried the base e2200 driver instead(without the crap control app). I'm thinking this weekend I'll try the atheros AR8161 instead to see how it helps.

        Looks like finding a copy of that Killer cleaner will be critical so nothing is left hanging behind.
