[QUOTE="sonicwind, post: 686157, member: 60167"] Yeah, I've got everything configured right. It works fine if I just move closer to the access point. There may not be a hardware adjustment for it. It's the same Broadcomm chip that the Dell uses in there wireless cards, so the hardware itself supports it. It may be that the Mac driver doesn't support configuration of the power settings on the card, but I doubt it. My guess would be that the Mac driver is just doing what it thinks is best, probably balancing performance with battery savings. There should be some low level method for adjusting this like by command line or plist. It could just be that the antenna is better on the Dell notebook somehow. [/QUOTE]
