My goal is best mbps possible speed (866 be nice) over two or three AP's etc.. right now it will hold a good 425- to a solid 450 mbps. Intel(R) WiFi Link 5300 AGN. @ 120 feet with a wall or two.
Making it connect at highest solid speeds, to the daily service AP's etc. Mostly to an SMC 450mbps max. ,Netgear R6100 866 mbps max
genie USB service printer.
Use wifi ID to see what channels are being used in area of use, so to stay far and away from the packs of channel stompers.
The free one from XM radio, works well for this btw. Looking for others tester app's, post'em if you got free ones. Or this one.

Want to use the genie USB service printer option in this scenario. But the genie service software does take up CPU resource at all times in standby. May for go it, or put the printer on a lan USB port which takes "0" cpu to be available in standby.
I like all my PC's/LT's to use "0" CPU resource at idle., Flatline , always, if not doing some job, user approve, not the pc picking. But did notice the Netgear Genie software use CPU in standby, which is a bad thing. Or for new Wifi cards.
Hope they have power idle shutdowns, on battery use.
Would like to put in the Intel 7260 with 4.0 bluetooth. yep! would remove current bluetooth card if this will work.
Opinions or hardware Ideas please. Would like to stay on intel hardware, but open mined, as this won't be a Dell approved software driver install, solution etc.. etc.
Will replace 8 or so in the end.
Thanks.
