What do all these adapter properties mean?
A few are obvious the rest don't bring up much useful info when doing web searches.
Never seen BeamCap, LdpcCap and StbcCap before.

The options you mention were actually present before - interestingly, you do have more options. I thought that Windows 7 and up all used the same driver, guess not. Preferred Band is an option I'd been wishing for.

Comparison: (Win 7 x64, driver version 1026.6.1217.2013)

Only that the "Prefered Band" option is not really working, I tried many combinations of these options and the only way to consistently have it connect to my 5GHz Wi-Fi instead of the 2.4GHz is to lock it into 802.11ac mode. Otherwise, when I wake the computer from hibernation it will always connect to my 2.4GHz WLAN. Buggy drivers...
