[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1611147, member: 234411"] Regarding the 802.11 protocol (options a/b/g/n/ac), go to the Apple -> About This Mac -> More Information -> System Report; click on the Wi-Fi (see pic attached - your networks will be present - my Airport Extreme router is dual band and creates 4 networks) - my protocol being used is 802.11n - what does yours state? Also let us know 'how far' from your router you are when running the 'Speed Test' - if not already done, what speed do you obtain right next to the router; distance, intervening walls, and other sources of interference can be an issue. In addition, have you 'power recycled' the modem/router, i.e. pull the power - wait - and power up again (modem first, router second) - retest your speed? Also, provide the brand/model of your router - has there been a recent firmware upgrade? Finally, how many 'close' neighbors do you have who may be using the same ISP service? My speeds always drop in the early evenings as more come home from work and start using the internet. Dave :) . [ATTACH=full]21110[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
