DLink DWA-556 WiFi performance

[mghotbi]

After reading the various topics and checking the HCL Wiki's, I ordered an Atheros chipset - based DWA-556 PCIe card for my core i7 Hackintosh (Running 10.7.2). The card is immediately recognized and I have Wifi, however, the speeds are remarkable slow. The same card gives me 20mbs in Windows and 7mbs in OsX. Are there any special settings I need to tweak?

Any help for this Noob please.

I've got a DWA-556 connecting to an Apple Airport Extreme router. I did notice that it connects at 150mbps (single band). On my MBP, the Airport card connects at 300mbps (dual band).

It's fine for me since my DSL connection goes nowhere near those speeds.

It's a great card and it works OOB with no hacks needed. The only problem is that I can't find it in stores anymore!

^^check in Newegg. I've bought a couple lately from there

and to the OP, mine works Ok. Nothing spectacular and yes mine's connects at 150 too instead of 300.
