Hi,

[5Ghz WLAN]

> I have only a built-in solution.

Can you tell me the chipset. Often the chipset ist also available with a
USB interface.

I just wanted to give a example that even if the signal is strong (short
distance) I am unable to get a satisfactory speed. In general I am more far
from the AP.

Best regards,
 Martin
