Hi,
What are the major differences between
Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 (AGN) and
Intel WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350 (AGN)
?
The latter costs more--for what advantages?

WiFi is supposed to be a wireless local area network or internet connection which can be commercial or non-commercial. OTH, WiMAX is a commercial wireless network or internet connection which has wider area of coverage. In a way, it's like the cell-phone network.
Therefore, 5350 card can give continuous internet connection. When inside a building or at home, a user with 5350 in his/her notebook can connect to a WiFi network, which is not only for internet connection but also for connecting to home or office network. And when on the road, he/she could still be connected to the net by switching to WiMAX service. -
aidil, many thanks for the explanations!
Advantages of WiMAX/WiFi Link 5350 over WiFi Link 5100/5300?
