[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1837347, member: 175845"] Can you try booting up into Safe Boot Mode and see if the speed improves at all. To use safe boot mode, press and hold the shift key down while booting. Actually I'm not sure if I a speed check will work while running in safe boot mode as some of the extensions needed may get disabled, anyway, still worth a try. If the speed improves, then there's some third-party software running in your normal user account that is affecting the Wi-Fi speed. PS: I'm assuming you have checked that you are connecting to the correct Wi-Fi router and not one of your neighbour's unprotected wireless routers. :Smirk: I don't know if Network Diagnostics will or can show any cause for any slowdown. To access it, hold down option key while you click and access the wireless icon in the menu, assuming you have it there. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
