[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1568093, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Rich[/B] - you already have some of the 'seasoned pros' here responding, but maybe a little more information would help: 1) What ISP are you using for your broadband?; 2) What is the brand/model/age of your router? and 3) What router protocols are being used, i.e. 802.11 'g/n' (or even 'ac')? Have you 'power recycled' your modem & router (may be one device) - pulled the plugs and waited a while and re-powered, modem first, then router? Have you checked your DL/UL speeds on the 3 computers, first w/ yours not on Wi-Fi and then w/ all 3 using wireless? ([URL="http://www.speedtest.net"]Speedtest Net[/URL] is a good choice) - just wondering how your speeds change when your iMac is connecting, especially the download numbers? Dave :) P.S. I'm assuming that the 3.06 GHz quoted above is the speed on your CPU; 'g' is the Wi-Fi protocol, specifically 802.11 g which runs at the 2.4 GHz band at 'ideal' speeds up to 54 Mbps, if that helps.
