CNET Review
The Good: Very high bandwidth; eight nonoverlapping channels; no interference problems; seamless roaming.
The Bad: Poor penetration; weak security; no Mac support.
The Bottom Line: With its high bandwidth, the Intel Pro/Wireless 5000 LAN access point is ideal for relatively open spaces such as large offices with lots of cubicles.
