[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1341842, member: 214663"] [b]Update[/b] Hello guys, So I got the new w/less router modem ( Belkin Play N600DB) and after a tussle with my ISP for my correct username and password I am now re-connected. Things were going swimmingly until the connection with my iMac dropped out as per usual. I swapped the band from 2.4 to 5Ghz and everything is good (fingers crossed) so the issue must have been my cordless phone base station I guess? I had moved it,but I think it needs to be moved into the trash;) One thing is puzzling me though, iStumbler reports signal strength as 33% (15 points lower than my last router) with signal noise of 9%. Wi-Fi Analyzer reports -71dB (way off reference ) and a signal to noise ratio of 25dB. Mac's WiFi icon shows all 4 bars at full. Does anyone know why what I should be looking at in strength and SNR for a reasonable connection? Are any of these apps reliable? Thanks for your support. [/QUOTE]
