[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1632161, member: 234411"] Hello, you might want to provide some more information: 1) What brand/model router are you using; 2) Assume that you have a cable or DSL modem that is wired to your router; and 3) On Wi-Fi, your laptop & iPhone are presumably adjacent to the router - all correct? Also check in the Wi-Fi section of System Information (goto 'About This Mac' on your laptop) - see my screen capture below on a MBPro - I have an Apple AP Extreme router, which setups up four networks (2 @ 2.4 GHz & 2 @ 5 GHz; main & guest) - currently running the 802.11n protocol (blue arrow) w/ the present transmit rate (in Mbps) as shown (red arrow). Let us know what is showing on your laptop in system information. Dave :) P.S. if not already tried, you might want to power recycle your modem & router (i.e. pull the power plugs, wait, then re-power the modem first followed by the router - works for me sometimes). .
