I have a laptop that has built in Centrino Wireless technology and wondered how reliable it is.
I've heard some people do not use that and instead buy a slot in card instead.
Anyone had problems with it or is it fine for wireless networking to a wireless router ?
Re: How reliable is built in wireless ? (Centrino)
Centrino is limited to 11Mb/s but I use it (I have two centrinos), it would only be better to use a seperate card if you wanted higher bitrates, but that would only be for computer to computer file transfers. The Centrino laptop battery life is in my experience double that of a non Mobile CPU.
