[QUOTE="kjhart0133, post: 1340843, member: 227227"] Greetings all, I just converted to a MAC Mini from Windows. Right now I'm in the middle of doing my first Time Machine backup and I have a question. I was able to set up my network on the time machine, but I notice that when I click on the little Airport menulet in the menu bar at the top of the screen, the first line of the drop down menu keeps toggling between: Wi-Fi: ON and Wi-Fi: Looking for Networks... It spends about 12 seconds on Wi-Fi: On, and about two seconds on Wi-Fi: Looking for Networks... Is it normal to keep searching for networks? The signal strength is very good. The Time Machine backup, however, seems to be taking a very long time, about a Gb every fifteen minutes. Could this "network searching" be slowing it down? Thanks for any insight you can give me on this. Kevin H. [/QUOTE]
