Hello Dave,
We are not allowed to send attachments to WAMUG Mailing List. I
know it is easier to do screenshots to show people, it is harder to
try to explain in text, but that is the way of most Mailing Lists.

Peter,
I have created a picture guide for you. You need to use the
airport utility found in your applications folder.
See the pics here:
<Picture 1.png><Picture 2.png><Picture 3.png>
Basically go to top right of your screen and click the magnifying
glass. type in "airport" - it should find an item called "airport
utility"
Click this and it should show you a screen like picture 2.
Then select your time capsule and click "manual setup".
Then click the "wireless" tab and you should be able to select (n
only) - be warned if you have any devices that work on 802.11G
only they won't work in "n only" mode

Hi Ronnie, I managed to verify that my Transmit Rate is 54 – so I
am on “g” level speeds. I have had a look around the Airport and
unable to see how I can reset to “n” speeds. I presume it’s easy
once I find it. Is it a setting on the Macbook or a setting on
the Time Capsule I need to alter?
How do I alter it?
Thanks

Hi Peter,
You have the new iTB Time Capsule which is a Dual Band (5GHz/
2.4GHz), so your MacBook should be connecting to the faster "n"
band.
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

Thanks for that Ronni. The Macbook/mouse is located within 10m
(as the crow flies) of the Time Capsule and logistically it is
hard in my house to get outside Bluetooth range (>~10m) of the
TC. I will move outside Bluetooth range of the TC next time it
happens to see if it “frees- up”.
“Changing the wireless settings to 5GHz/N” – how do I know if I
am or am not on this currently? How do I change this? Is this in
the Time Capsule settings?
Thanks again.

I am a recent poster and a Mac newbie so coming up to speed
having been PC for many years. I recently purchased a Macbook 13”
and with it I have a Time Capsule 1TB and a Magic Mouse. From
previous postings on the WAMUG I downloaded the MagicPrefs and
see it opens up lots of potential with the Magic Mouse. So far I
am using the Magic Mouse as a ‘simple’ mouse ie pointer moving
around and Left and Right click. Occasionally after the Macbook
goes to Sleep, wakening it up by wiggling the mouse brings the
Macbook back to life, whereupon the Macbook goes into Time
Machine backup mode – if it is more than 1 hour since the last
backup. While this is happening the mouse works ONLY AS A
POINTER. No amount of clicking on the Left or Right side enables
any selection to happen – neither does the trackpad during this
time enable any selections. I had to resort to a “hard crash” by
holding down the power button to kick off again from scratch.
Eventually I was able to restore mouse functioning with Left/
Right button operation working properly. I tried “Force Quit” of
all running programs and using the up/down arrows and Enter, was
able to Force Quite everything, but still no joy.
Has anyone else had this experience, what are the simple guides
for a newbie to undertake to correct this aberration for good? Is
this a known phenomenon or am I unique in my experinces here?
Thanks for any help

Peter Crisp….
Hi Peter,
Welcome to WAMUG Mailing List.
The problem 'could' be too many wireless traffic.How far away
from the Time Capsule are you using the Magic Mouse?
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
