I need help determining if my pcie wifi card is messed up, or if its the wireless modem?
When i go to device manager and disable than re-enable my wifi card some times it goes back up to full bars connectivity (were it always used to be until recently), but when i unplug and re-plug my modem the bars also go back up to 100 percent every time. I have no idea what's wrong.

The modem could be overheating. Do you have any other WIFI devices to test with with it?

I think it's the wifi adaptor. I used to use the same model, had consistant slowdowns and network drops, switched to the overkill of a router in bridge mode, and it no longer drops out.

The thing is only 5 months old, i mean it was only like 30 bucks but still. It only started dropping recently, would you seriously recommend i buy a different adapter as opposed to getting a replacement of this model under warranty?

I'd suggest maybe returning it and looking into a USB wifi adaptor of some sort if you can. If not, you could try replacing it.
