    Problems with dir-655?

    Everyone has been so helpful. So, I believe it was not an issue with the MacBook nor an issue with the dir-655. The suggestions on settings helped improve speed dramatically. I stuck with the 655, have it in mixed mode. Moved the router about 5 inches to improve range, selected channel 10...

    Problems with dir-655?

    I recently purchased a MacBook. This might have no bearing on the situation as whole but I will present as my facts as possible so I can get some advice from everyone. I noticed that speed of in wireless access had suffered considerably lately. I never noticed it with my Windows computers...
