Hello everyone. Im just a newbie in the forum. I want to ask you a question if you dont mind.
I bought a laptop last week, it is ASUS K53SV-SX144D, Its a great monster but Im still not sure about its wireless card. Its Atheros AR9002WB-1NG (half size) and also has got Bluetooth module built in. Im not an expert about wireless networking and cards but when i compare my laptop's wireless range to other laptops (4 example HP G62 series , Broadcom 4313 b/g/n and Acer series, Intel 4965 agn) Its not very good in my oppinion.
I also have got Intel wifi link 5100 card (half size) from my old laptop which was caput. It also have got 2 antenna inputs like Atheros AR9002WB has...
My question is simple;
If i swap my wireless card to Intel 5100 one, will i get a big difference at wireless range and a better connection?

Don't get the Intel 5100 get the Intel 6200, it is better.

You may test the actual data rate other than the signal strength.

Im just asking which wireless card is better? Atheros AR9002WV-1NG or Intel Wifi Link 5100... Will i get any difference if i change Atheros to Intel one?
thanks -
The Intel Card supports Dual band 2.4 & 5 GHz while Atheros only supports 2.4GHz so Intel is definitely better.
