- Updated the drivers for my Wi-Fi card
- Bought a new Wi-Fi adapter in case the problem is with the Wi-Fi card
- Flushed DNS etc.
- Tried disabling firewall, anti-virus program?
- W8 seems to reserve 20% of the internet connection for itself and I tried changing those settings, didn?t help
- Changed Encryption type for the connection to TKIP and that got me up to around 15 mbps

Tried a couple more things without results, when I plugin the cable the speed is fine.
Any ideas?
did you buy the same wifi card? is it possible you're having a 'frequency conflict' with another user?
