You probably setup yas "Automatic" Radio Mode. To verify if your MacBook is connecting to the faster "n" band: Hold down the "option" key on your keyboard while you click the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of your screen. Look for Transmit Rate. A value of 54 indicates that the network is operating at "g" level speeds. 70-80 and up indicates that you are at faster "n" speeds. My MacBook Pro Transmit Rate is always around 270. Cheers, Ronni On 12/01/2010, at 12:51 PM, Crisp, Peter wrote: Thanks for that Ronni.

Try moving further away from Time Capsule, where you use the mouse, or change the wireless settings to 5Ghz/N (is also a lot faster). Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz / 4GB
Re: changing airport to 802.11n only
Hi Ronni, I tried to host it on mobileme but for some reason it wasn't working. I attached the pics and actually sent it direct to peter and the list as in the old days the wamug list would automatically reject pictures. I guess that doesn't happen anymore. My bad. I will send separate emails to the list next time.]]Sorry Dave On 12/01/2010, at 9:40 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hello Dave, We are not allowed to send attachments to WAMUG Mailing List.
