seems like the 5300 has some great specs over the 4965. Anyone else own the 5300 and care to comment. These are both PCie mini card?

it has 6 antennas, vs. 5 antennas for the 4965. Throughput is supposed
to be higher, also.
I was somewhat disappointed to find that my new dv5t will have the
cheaper 5100 card, as most other laptops. The only units I've seen that
have the 5300 are Sager/Clevo and Compal.

well might be pointless for me. I just found out the Acer Aspire 8920 has the ABG version which only has two wires???????????
ack -
well whats your situation? it wouldn't be pointless since N routers are backward compatible with A/B/G signals but you just won't be able to utilize the 4965 or the 5300 cards max capabilities
-
I am surprised they would hobble the lower end model like that. I guess I will do a usb or pcmcia card because I do have an N router and like to stream movies to my ps3
-
The 4965 will outperform the 5300. One reason being, no 3X3 AP's available yet.
-
not even the DIR-855 by D-Link

They are both internal PCIe minicards.

I have a DIR-855, two of them infact

Just got them last week. I purchase one of the first ones back in January and discovered the wiring issue that was covered in the press ( my 15 minutes of fame) I just received two last week from D-Link direct as an exchange and compensation for waiting so long.
Speed wise, MAJOR improvement over first version especially with the new firmware. Havent had an issue since installed. However.........there appears to be a bug possibly in the FW with voip. Now your mileage may vary but no matter what I do I cannot get my voip to work. Oddly enough if I go back to the old router, it works.
So overall, they did a great job and it was worth the wait. Should be in retail channels in a month or two I think
Wanna buy one -

Both the DIR-855 and WRT610N are unavailable in canada.
Very annoying. -

I second Nir, furthermore MIMO is independent from the any software application, is an RF thing.

planning to try and put one together this weekend

FYI, I have just installed my DIR-855 and using it with two laptops.
My VaioTZ has Intel 4965AGN and connects to the router at 300Mbps reliably every time.
My newer laptop is a Vaio Z with Wifi Link 5100 and it connects at only 150Mbps, no matter what i have tried. sometimes even drops to 135Mbps even when psitioned 2-3meters from the router and no walls.
I don't know if its caused by immature direvers\router fw or just the older 4965AGN is so much better..strange -
-
Can anyone comment on the range of the 5300? My laptop hasn't come in yet to test this out.
-
can one simply just exchange a 4965 with a 5300? it's the same slot and everything right?
-
Well I dunno about others but the 5100 works flawlessy in my mom's dv5t...HUGE improvement in my eyes over whatever is in my mom's desktop...
