Intel WiFi Link 5300 – Network adapter – PCI Express Mini Card – 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g, 802.11n (draft) Review

The other reviewers obviously did not do his research before you select it and 1 star on a little too much, you think not only for the user not to do research? 802.11n only supports WPA and above! WFP no longer with G, since it is a very weak form of security as compared to WPA / 2 and that a decision from the WiFi is unification.

This is an HP Pavilion dv7 1270us used to upgrade from 5100th This hook on my Apple Airport Extreme Base Station with the latest revision, version 7.4.2. Unfortunatelythat can only up to 300 Mbps on the 5 GHz band. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate on this machine, because I used to Spanish and Russian languages on them.

Power consumption:
It uses very little of her siblings, however, used 5100 but more than that a 3rd Antenna connector as well have. I noticed that when it is not active, it will trigger it), the speed down (on the N-compounds in order to get some of the battery and when it is flat out to go to 270-300 Mbps / s range.Most of the time when it is idle, it will be around 150-216mbps. It is not very clever turn on the power management but really to me because I have a 17 "laptop.

Performance:
With my setup, unfortunately I can not reach the advertised 450mbps (see setup above). I am left only to 300 Mbps, it feels more stable in comparison to 5100, the 5-GHz N-connection. I do not get sustained speeds of 10-12MB / s when copying large files (ISO, HD video) and for smaller files ~ 8MB / s – ~ 10MB / sa gigabit machine. I have 2 1080p simultaneously streaming videos stresses without large delays during playback. 3x 720p videos came with similar results. 802.11N by all means should not get too far in the distance, but since I worked the third antenna, I can go 3 room until they fall apart a signal bar to 3 of 5 If you have a need to use remote connection, G you better, but for network related work, N, in closer range suit works best. Overall, one of the bestDevices that you find out there.

Compatibility:
It works for XP and higher and Linux support in the newer distributions seems to be OK. For Windows XP, but it supports 802.11n on XP is very flaky and not as well as Vista and 7 I have the driver from the Intel Web site, because the stock is 7-driver is very simple. Myf only works in Vista and 7 and turns your laptop's own SSID / hotspot which is pretty nice, I'm sorry XP users, but why bother for a dead horse? Unfortunately, this isbound Centrino / Centrino-2-user, ie you must have an Intel machine. I am not sure whether to sign the Nuclear netbook users so please, if this is done. Hackintosh users are out of luck with this and the other siblings 5100 and 1000 Atheros and Broadcom chips are better for the Mac and Hackintosh.

Packaging:
It was not open in a small, easy-open folding package, which too easily when I was afraid it would make the fall 5300 would be packed. I had to open it carefully and even if it does notDrops, the better safe than sorry. Nothing too extravagant either ANTOnline delivered it in the mail via USPS in 2 (yes 2) yellow envelopes inside, full of bubble wrap.

I hope I have enough information about other possible buyers, has ANTOnline their job well and delivered very safe either. Feel free to leave questions in the comments as well, I could post benchmarks later when I get enough demand.
