[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1115300, member: 56379"] Do what "bobtomay" mentioned about making sure this 17" MBP has the latest & greatest OS software. As far as the router...personally I feel a router is a router. There are some better quality routers out there...with the Airport Base Station being a good one. But just because you have an Apple computer...doesn't necessarily mean you need an Apple router. If you feel that you you currently have a "cheap router"...then sure get a better/newer router. That could be an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station...or a highly recommended router here on Mac-Forums is a D-Link DIR-655. Personally I would do the: - software updates first (if not running the most up to date OS version) - confirm wireless performance with the current router (good/bad) - purchase a router that you can return in case it doesn't fix the problem - confirm whether the new router improves things Please let us know how things work out,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
