[QUOTE="jjaspirant, post: 889810, member: 80416"] I have both an Early 2008 Macbook Pro and a Late 2008 Macbook Pro. I bought an Airport Extreme base station yesterday. On both laptops, I'm connected to the 802.11n 5Ghz network created by the base station. There was a significant difference in wireless speed for the two laptops. To verify, I ran the network test on speedtest.net. The Early 2008 macbook pro has a 220ms ping latency, 1Mbps upload and 1Mbps download. The Late 2008 macbook pro has a 13ms ping latency, 7 Mbps upload and 15Mbps download. I ran the test from the same location in my house, one after the other. I don't understand how there can be such a big difference. Anyone have any ideas? [/QUOTE]
