    I have had a 5100 and know there is a 5300 , but i cannot find any reviews or comment on the Intel 1000 bgn that i have in my new notebook.

    Is it any good, when compared with the 5100 or 5300.

    Thanks.

    Manufacturers still make 5 Ghz N routers and wireless cards.
    Its just that 5 GHz wireless N equipment usually carry a price premium.
