Hey all

Got speed problems in the house. 60mb/s over ethernet but only 20mb/s over WiFi. Happens on two different (and very powerful) routers, there is no ping or packet loss trouble, signal is always 5 bars.

So I'm thinking the WiFi card is the problem.

The E5500 has three antennas and a slot for a half mini PCIe card, and my router supports 5GHz wavelengths - so I'm thinking the Intel 6300 is the best option I can get vs the Intel 7260?

Cheers
