User Reviews for Intel PRO/WIRELESS 5000 LAN ACCESS POINT

  • Reviewed by: rodneypong

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Name brand, Solid Quality, Power over Ethernet support

    Weaknesses: Noisy fan, Not compatible with 802.11 b/g

    Overall Evaluation: This product is releaed by Intel around 3 years ago and it seems the first 802.11a product from Intel. 3 year later, 802.11g donimates wi-fi market. But 802.11a still has its niche and advantage. I purchased it for pair with a media streaming device which supports 802.11a. The performance is on par with 802.11g. However, it will not be interferred with 2.4GHz product which is the sole reason why I bough it. It also supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet which is supposed to simplify deployment. But for home use, it is not obvoiusly to be an advantage.
