Q: MacMini (Late 2009) Wifi problems
I'm using Uverse for my internet connection. If I use wireless from the Mini to the Uverse gateway my speed stinks. iPad 2 next to the Mini has good speed going wireless to the gateway. I placed an Airport Extreme about half way between the gateway and the Mini and cabled it to the MIni. The Mini's speed still stinks. iPad has good speed. I can understand that a bad Airport card in the Mini would affect wireless directly to the gateway but would it also affect the performance of the Airport Extreme wired into the Mini? If the current Airport card is at fault, I can replace it for $100+.
I've added 2 GB of ram to the old Mini for a total of 4 GB. I see that the 2014 I.4 Mini comes with 4 GB. My current Mini's Activity Monitor shows Virtual Memory Used is often more than the 4 GB installed. Would the faster speed of the 1.4 Mini alleviate this?
Thanks in advance.
