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 but, again, it might have no bearing.
I have a dir-655. All of my wireless devices are g receivers. The MacBook can communicate over N also. I had concluded after a lot of fiddling that perhaps my dir-655 is having some problems (only about a year old) so I purchased a netgear N/dualband and a dir-825. Both newer devices seemed to give me excellent response. So, I started to conclude that the 655 was indeed sick. I then decided to change my router settings on the 825 from n&g only to b/g/n and found my response and reception seemed to suffer similarly. So, I went back to the 655 to confirm its settings. it turns out that it is in n&g mode so, my theory seems to be flawed.
Can anyone advise me my me dilemma. I would happily stay with the 655 if there is a configuration I can set to make it optimal speed and reception.
Thanks in advance.
