[QUOTE="Nancy Withrow, post: 1838984, member: 76230"] Thank you so much for taking your time to reply. The reason (I think) my reception is not so great in my kitchen is because there are a couple of metal cabinets nearby that probably are causing some interference. The wifi signal there is usually just 1 or 2 bars on my iPad Air and things run pretty slow. It's not a biggie - but since I dropped our morning newspaper delivery and went to reading it online at the breakfast table on my iPad Air - I'm beginning to wish the signal was a little stronger. However, with the nearby metal cabinets, an extender might not make that much of a difference. Solution - read paper online in another room (I actually haven't tried that yet - I like reading at the table during breakfast!). As far as looking at the wireless diagnostics, I wasn't aware of that option. I started to - and then the intro message said that if I clicked "continue" that "Wireless Diagnostics may temporarily change your network settings when running diagnostics tests." That scared me a bit. Would my configuration automatically change back to what it was?? I'm not knowledgeable enough in the wifi environment to know what I'm doing as far as reconfiguring anything.
