After a tough search, Im buying a Clevo P178SM-S lap, one of my last unresolved issues is the wireless option. I plan on gaming through wireless quite a bit (LoL, MMOs, SC2), and Im currently in a very crowded enviroment, so which of the following would make the best choice:
- Intel Ultimate-N 6300 Wi-Fi
- Bigfoot Killer Wireless-N 1202 + Bluetooth Combo include
- Intel Advance-N 6235 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Combo
- Bigfoot Networks Killer Wireless-N 1103 (3x3) [add $15.00]
Bluetooth is not really a concern for me, but rather have it than not if nothing is affected.

What are advertised speeds from your isp? What router do you have? Will you be sharing files across your network?

Up to 5 Mbps
Huawei-EchoLife HG520c
Not really, once in a blue moon. -
One of the Killer Wireless cards for sure. You can read up on reviews at AnandTech and Tom's Hardware. If you check out the latency tests (important for gaming), you can see why this is recommended.
Between the 1202 (2x2, 300Mbps, Bluetooth) and the 1103 (3x3, 450Mbps)...go with the cheaper one. -
Is there a significant difference in signal strength or performance in crowded enviroments between the 1202 and the 1103?
The current model Im buying offers both for the same price, which would be the better overall option? The 1103 has the extra antena, but I read that its useless if you don't have a router with 3 antenas too.
Which wireless card for Clevo laptop?
