So, i have a notebook Samsung SF410. It have an i460m and geforce 310m. I also have a Netgear Push2TV PTV1000 that came with Asus u30jc.
The wifi adapters are:
Broadcom BCM94313HMGD + Bluetooth 3.0 (the original from the Samsung).
Intel WIFI Link 1000 (WiDi compatible, from the Asus).
The both of them are in my power.
The problem is that any of the choices have it´s Pro over the other card... So which should i choose?
The router in my place is a Dlink Dir-600...
Thanks!

None of those devices is significantly better than the other.
Intel is a low end device but drivers are pretty good and easy to get while Broadcom has integrated BT which is an advantage only if you use it/need it but on the other hand up-to-date drivers for Broadcom are not easy to find.
If you have both at your disposal I think it's best to test them both in the same laptop from the same location/locations with inSSIDer enabled to see which gives you better reception and signal quality. -
Well, WiDi doesn't work on either case anyways.

Thanks for de advice... and the link for the testing tool.
The widi works with the intel wifi adapter... -
But overall, WiDi can't be enabled on the Samsung laptop, even with the Intel Wifi, which I meant.
-
For widi, you need an Intel Wifi adapter, and some Intel GMA iCore processor... and the drivers, of course -
I'm very aware of how WiDi works
I use it all the time on both laptops in my sig.
Samsung SF410 using Nvidia Optimus (I didn't see this in the spec, must of overlooked something)and have an Intel Wifi installed, yeah it would work.
Which WIFI adapter is better?
