[QUOTE="eaweg1, post: 896194, member: 115083"] Hello everybody, Newbie here. I live in Germany and we have an iMac and a Macbook in our home. Our wireless modem/router is a Speedport W502V and is in our basement. Here's the thing, I can get excellent reception all day on my Macbook but on my iMac I get down to one bar of signal strength or lose all connectivity. My iMac is on the top floor (3 floors incl. basement). I can place the iMac right next to the desktop and the Macbook will pickup the signal without a problem while my iMac fades in and out. Is this as simple as getting a 5.2 Ghz router versus the 2.4 Ghz we currently have from our ISP (Deutsche Telekom)? Thanks for your help in advance! Edwin [/QUOTE]
