New Mac Mini Wireless Internet - Slow, Disconnects frequently
I've been doing some research and have read related posts about this, but I thought I'd share my specific situation to see if I could have any light shed on it.
As a long-time happy Mac Mini user, I was excited when I picked up one of the new 2009 mac mini models and ditched my old G4 mini.
My wireless connection on the old mini was never very fast, and I was extremely pleased when I first started up the computer and my internet FLEW! I thought, 'Finally!! I have fast internet!'
It was as fast as it had ever been, just as if it were plugged directly into an ethernet cable.
Well, that lasted only a couple of days. For several months since then, I have frequently been having connection issues. It is consistently slower than it ever was during those first several days, and at times, it is continuously disconnecting and reconnecting.
Needless to say all of this is very frustrating. My connection is to a D-link wireless router with a standard WEP key.
I haven't changed any settings since the internet was blazing fast those first couple of days, and I'm using my Macbook wired to ethernet at the moment, and it is perfectly fine.
Thanks for any insight or to anyone for pointing me in the right direction on this.
