[QUOTE="thendis, post: 435888, member: 6390"] hello jbeals I would strongly advice against using WEP for three reasons: 1) It is more or less useless as a security measure, as it can be cracked in minutes (some claim seconds!) 2) WPA is much easier to use than WEP 3) Mac OS X actually prefers WPA to WEP. You may actually find you will get better results with WPA. I think trying direct ethernet connection is a very good idea. It's the best way of checking if it is a airport issue, a router issue, or an ISP issue. If all works well with your ethernet, then it would suggest a wireless issue. I would suggest turning all wireless security off temporarily and seeing if that helps. Also, you can try changing channels on the router and checking cordless phones -- the usual voodoo. Not saying it is likely to be those things, but always good to rule out because they are the first things tech support guys will throw at you. [/QUOTE]
