[QUOTE="nickyr, post: 1611402, member: 40791"] I've just relocated my iMac and printer from the lounge (where my airport extreme is located) to a study about 8 metres away. The study contains an airport express which my printer is attached to to allow wireless printing. My download speed has dropped from 37MBps in the lounge to 20 MBps in the study. I can still get 37 MBps in the lounge when using my Macbook. My iMac shows a full 5 bar signal strength. My question is, is it the distance from the airport extreme to the airport express that is causing the loss in speed or is it the fact that my iMac now connects to the internet via the express and not the extreme? Internal walls are constructed of concrete blocks. Would an upgrade to the latest generation extreme show any improvement? [/QUOTE]
