I'd suggest using your MAC's WiFi application to see if you have any nearby networks that are on the same ch as your network ch. Choose ch 1 or 6 or 11, whichever is NOT seen or shows weakest competing signal. Nearby WiFi signals on the same ch can cause some interference with each other, weakening your signal. Running in G only also helps (can't hurt), assuming you have no B devices. You are running a "double WiFi hop" as both of your devices (SB3 and MAC server) are both wireless. It can operate this way but it can also be troublesome and may well explain your stated sluggish behavior. A real simple test would be to temporarily wire your MAC or SB3 to your ADSL router (I'm assuming the modem can operate in both WiFi and wired simultaneously, never used one myself) and see if your SB3 becomes a bit more responsive. -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65586 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
