[QUOTE="Chef_eam, post: 1002150, member: 135390"] Hi, I just bought a new 27" iMac on friday and have a couple of networking issues. First, what should the connection speed to my router be? I am using a Belkin wireless N+ router. My windows machine connects to the network at 135 Mbits/sec, but the iMac only connects at 54 Mbits/sec. In the menu bar and the Network preferences, it shows the Airport card in the iMac has a full signal. I have good speed on the internet, but this has me curious. Shouldn't the iMac connect at a higher speed since it is also wireless N? The other issue is that it appears that the iMac may be only opperating in wireless g mode. I set my router to allow only wireless n connections, and the iMac would no longer connect to the network. This has me a bit puzzled as well. Belkin claims the router is Mac compatible, but not sure how far that compatibility goes since the usb port on it for a hdd is not compatible with the Mac filesystem. Any insight will be appreciated.
