[QUOTE="chscag, post: 766841, member: 46727"] I'm assuming the firmware Belkin had you download was to update their router. I'm not a lover of Belkin equipment but since that's what you have, you should be able to get it to work. As for a channel selection other than 1,6 or 11, I don't think what Belkin told you is entirely true unless they're referring to their routers. Instead of changing channels, as a test turn off all WEP encryption and see if your signal improves. If it doesn't, try a channel other than 1, 6, or 11, again as a test. I don't recommend buying a Time Capsule or an Apple router (Airport Extreme model) until you have solved the signal problem first. You can always perform backups to any external USB or Firewire HDD using Time Machine. As a last resort you could try another router. Buy an inexpensive N router from a store that has a good return policy - in case. My preference for routers are the latest D-Link models which support OS X. Let us know. Regards. [/QUOTE]
