802.11n not working in Windows 10 =(

[m0k]

Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN - worked fine on all frequencies and bands on win7

However since doing a clean reinstall of win10 it only operates on 802.11a/b/g
 

Any way i can force my wireless adapter to use wireless n?

my $20 usb adapter works fine on 802.11n but my internal wifi card doesnt....

Drivers have gone through countless clean/fresh reinstalls so thats a dead end

u could ask the makers to send you a special driver, because windows 10 wipes most of your drivers and keeps the ones needed by the system

If you can replace with these that is proved to be working on win10 https://www.amazon.it/Intel-Wireless-AC-8260NGW-funziona-Microsoft/dp/B01797CNA6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466526207&sr=8-1&keywords=ac+wifi+card

Yeah, as a last resort i can spend $20 and replace it with a newer wifi card. 

update: its actually not that bad on 802.11a/b/g
speedtest shows slightly slower speeds but for everyday computing it still seems fine
