I've made a few threads regarding the new airport already, but last night I hooked it up, which of course as any Apple product goes is very easy, you never run into any problems...
However, I'm getting the same performance as my old dome shaped Airport was getting... Isn't this supposed to be 2X the range? I don't understand what could be interfering with this thing because it's only one floor above where my laptop runs and I have it placed high up on top of a cabinet rather than right next to the iMac that it provides a wired connection to...
Are there any tips/tricks I can work out in the manual settings to play with this thing? The multicast rate is low, but I've read somewhere that has to do with streaming video or media? The transmit power is 100%, and the channel was set to AUTO, and it was going to channel 11, which I ended up changing to 10 because there is another network in the house and that is on 11 as well (people live above us). I used that iStumbler thing and said I was running on 11, and they were on 11...
At the same rate, the 5GHz network doesn't work much better at all either, that runs on like channel 149.. I don't know what to do
Sorry for long post, just trying to get it squared away.
