My setup is as follows:
ADSL Connection to NetComm modem
Modem connected to Time Capsule 500GB
Wireless network established to Time Capsule using Airport Utility (WPA2/Personal)/using DHCP.
Wirelessly connecting iMac 24inch and MBPro.
The line has been tested and is not faulty. All hardware has been tested (the Time Capsule functioned perfectly over 3 days at the MacShop with several devices). The modem is brand new and not faulty.
The issue I am having is that one computer tends to 'dominate' the wireless connection, causing the other computer to lose connectivity/speed. It still says it is connected, but speeds drop dramatically.
For example, I commenced a download on MBPro and was getting 120kb/s. Then my husband turned the iMac on and started browsing. As he did that, I watched the speed drop very quickly on my download, to 7kb/s and finally it just stopped. As soon as he shuts down, the download speed comes back up.
The interim solution we have is that he has plugged an ethernet cable between the iMac and the Time Capsule. I can now browse wirelessly on the MBPro without any issues, but in the near future we will be introducing 2 work laptops (PC) onto the network and need to be able to connect wirelessly without conflict.
A similar issue was addressed in another thread, and the suggestion was to change the wireless channel. Is this likely to work?
Thanks.
