Q: have slow internet connection and amber blinking light on airport extreme
Trying to help my parents:
they have a brand new iMac (21.5 inch)
they have a brand new Airport Extreme router
I set up wireless network via their existing comcast BLAST! internet service - they have an RCA modem (model DHG535-2 which is also for VoIP)
I successfully set up WiFi (have connection from iMac, printer and various iPhones,iPads) BUT painfully slow ...did a speedtest and got a download speed of about 35 and upload of 4. ????????????
Should be lighting fast, right? Especially since router and modem are sitting on desk next to each other.
Tried powering off everything (removed battery from modem and waited 30 minutes) ...still have amber blinking light on Airport Extreme base.
Seems like router and modem are not compatible in some way???
iMac, airport extreme
