[QUOTE="aanger, post: 849946, member: 102505"] At my absolute wits end and I'm hoping someone here can help. I have a relatively new Mac Mini (6 months) running Leopard 10.5.7 with a wireless G Airport card that I have been using as a media center for my television. For the first 5 months of it's life it was running like a charm enabling me to stream online video from Hulu, Fancast, etc wirelessly from my Belkin N+ router transmitting both N and G signals. About 1 month ago this all stopped. Although I have a strong signal to the router, I typically have no connection to the internet (other computers connected to the router [B]do[/B] have internet access). In other cases I am able to access the internet, but at very slow speeds (0.5-2 Mbps compared to the 10Mps+ I had previously). All other computers in my home (1 MacBook Tiger and 3 Windows XP laptops) have no wireless problems at all running with strong connections at top speeds 10mbps+. Consequently I'm inferring it is not the fault of the router. After searching the Internet I've tried several things to try and fix this to no avail. These include: 1. Hardcoding DNS servers from OpenDns 2. Turning off ipv6 3. Removing all memrized wireless networks. I'm about to give up... any thoughts? Thanks in advance for an help. [/QUOTE]
