I do have other Macs around -- will check them. > An attempt to fix poor WiFi connections often involves changing the channel. > If you have control over the access point you could try to change channel and > aim for the ones that got least traffic from others.

I switched to 5 and it may have helped with the slowdowns (I want to gather more data), though I still drop the connection intermittently. --Andy > > And a controll over the access point might mean you couldtry to update its > firmware.
