Hi, My new (havent received yet) HP Elitebook 8560p has an integrated Broadcom 4313. A few months ago I bought a Intel Wifi Link 5300 (the old notebook died) and it's lying around, and I'm using a Netgear WNDR3700v1 router. I wonder if it is worth to replace the broadcom with the intel wifi...

thanks it seems I was underestimating the protocol overhead and relying too much on the "300Mbps channel bonding dual radio hyper speed whatever" marketing garbage, if you say my speeds look good for a "realistic environment" I'm fine with it, thanks again for the clarification :).

Tried that too, didn't change much. My fault I thought MAC layer speed would be 200Mbps however its only 120Mbps so the theoretical maximum speed for 802.11n would be 15MB/s, and for 802.11g 2,5 MB/s. My 9 MB/s seem bad in confront to the possible max of 15MB/s taking into consideration that...

thanks for your answer :) Using a FTP file transfer to measure the speed next to the router, with the 2,4ghz network on 20mhz and the 5Ghz on 40mhz I get 4,2 MB/s ~ 33-35 Mbits. the router shows the connected client speed as: WALI_G 00:21:6A:C8:XX:XX 192.168.1.7 -57dBm -101 dBm Switching...

Hi, I bought a WNDR3700 netgear router and a mini PCIe Intel Wifi Link 5300 wireless card. My wireless speed is terrible I tried with the original netgear firmware and with openwrt its nearly the same, iperf gives me 35-40 mbits being next(!!) to the router and 100% signal, windows wireless...

thanks for the clarification :) Yeah I heard about the 6300 unfortunately its nearly impossible to get them in Europe and they are more expensive so I go for the 5300.

Hi, I have a probably stupid question but is the "Intel WiFi Link 5300" PCIe mini card and the "Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300" PCIe mini card the same?, on amazon and various google results I find for both names entries, however the Intel homepage mentioned only "ultimate"...
