Hi Shaun and others, Here's a web page that discusses the Internet Robustness setting for AirPort:
http://www.macinstruct.com/node/213 To summarize a few points, this setting only applies to AirPort wireless connections, and only if you are having difficulties. It changes the mode of communication by changing the size and frequency of the packets you send. It actually slows you down if you enable it without needing to use it to overcome other interference issues, but may be useful if you're in highly populated areas where network interference issues outside of your local AirPort network are a factor.
