Hi there: My son came home from college last night, and almost immediately told me that the router (basic Netgear wireless) is giving off a high-pitched whine or squeal or whistle or something, which he had not heard before. Neither my wife nor I can hear it so I have to take this on faith. They both have complained of pretty frequent and significant Internet slowness, too.
1. Are these two things--noise and speed--related? 2. Is the whine a symptom of something more problematic? 3. Assuming it's much more cost-effective to buy another router than try to have this one fixed, what's the conventional wisdom nowadays for brands and capabilities? (I don't feel the need to spend boatloads of (non-existent) cash so something under maybe $30 would be fine, I think...) As always my thanks in advance! *************** Bill Spencer in Maryland IMac Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz/2 g RAM/Lion IMac Core 2 Duo 1.83 ghz/2 g RAM/Lion -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
