[QUOTE="LondonMike, post: 979234, member: 139328"] My router sits in my living room so the signal has to travel first into the kitchen then out the patio doors, down about 40-50 ft of garden then through into the garage. As I said, my old G4 PPC with an ordinary airport card has no trouble at all but the Mac Pro (desktop) xeon Quad core with an 'extreme' card fails. To move the router into the the kitchen would mean trailing leads from room to room or drilling a hole through the wall as my phone line only comes in to the living room. Perhaps rzj90059's solution of placing an airport in the kitchen is the simplest solution. Would it have to be connected to my belkin with an ethernet cable (same issue)or could it be wirelessly done? However, I am still frustrated that the Mac Pro is a step back in connectivity and that I still can't get the 'sharing' thing to work! Thanks to you both for your help anyway. [/QUOTE]
