This problem has been going on for two weeks now. I live in a house with 4 other people me and my other roomates connections have been really weak and really slow. But our other roomates connections have been fine. When ever i use my schools wi-fi my computer works fine. So i dont know what the problem is, someone please help!!
Your problem could be many things like the router, proximity to the router. What it is not is your airport.
Which os is installed on your computer?
How are you connected to the internet?
Ok.. well i am the closest one in the house to the router.. So i dont know how that could be it.. And if others peoples computers are working on the same router then why isnt mine?
10.5.8 and i am connected wirelessly
Change your router channel. Sometimes this is all you will have to do.
Power cycling the router. Read the router's user manual or contact their tech support for instructions.
