I've tried everything I can think of and so far nothing has worked.
I'm at my parents house for the rest of the summer and as soon as I got here I wasn't able to connect my macbook to the wireless network here. My dad's laptop, running vista, has had problems with the network as well. We have a 100mbps connection here, but his laptop is getting only about 11-30mbps. It's definitely not something wrong with his computer, because its less than a year old and has 2GB ram.
The router I'm using is a Netgear RangeMax, and it says that we should be getting around 100mbps with this router. Obviously that's an exaggeration. The router isn't new, probably about a year and a half old.
I don't understand what's wrong because I was able to connect here no problem last summer. The only new addition to this household is my dad's windows laptop running vista.
Does anyone think that vista is somehow blocking my mac from accessing the internet? The macbook is picking up the full signal but when I try to load anything, it says that it can't find the server.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
