Samsung Chronos Buy or not a new wifi card

Some users are complaining about the wifi card should I buy a new one?

External or Internal?

 

Wait and see how it works for you under your usage conditions. If it performs badly then the easiest fix would be a USB WiFi adaptor with a large external antenna.

Thank you, its a bit ugly you want to transport your Laptop I saw this one its discrete and not ugly but i don't think it haves a good conection:

Edimax EW-7811UN Wireless 802.11b/g/n 150Mbps Nano USB Adaptor: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

It's very small too

From browsing through this forum I get the impression that the problem with the Broadcom WiFI may be caused by drivers and performance is better with the latest driver. Samsung UK lists both Intel and Broadcom drivers for the S01-UK so it isn't clear which is inside (we have to wait for an owner of that model to tell us). I think the small USB adaptor is unlike to work better than the internal antennae. The USB adaptor with the big antenna should provide a better signal and I would expect it to be a step upwards from the internal WiFI performance. It's something i would keep in the bag for use when necessary.
