[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1019134, member: 46727"] The Speedtest.net results for WiFi versus ethernet show a very large discrepancy in speed. And what's really strange is that your upload speed is more than 4X faster than the download speed on your home network. I'm assuming you're using a WRT 310N LinkSys Router. Have you tried going over all your settings for the router? And have you made sure all your settings are correct for WiFi? Your MBP is a recent model and should still be under warranty. Normally I would recommend doing the Apple Hardware Test on the machine but those tests are really not conclusive for Airport problems. It will tell you if the Airport card is dead which yours is obviously not. The best thing might be to take it on in to Apple and have them put it on their WiFi test system in the store. If the Airport card is defective, they'll be able to change it out right then and there. (If it is in stock) Regards. [/QUOTE]
