Snail like Broadband
 

I bought an Actiontec Home Network Starter Pack as recommended by ntl http://www.wirelesspack.co.uk/ and set it up to my cable modem and a desktop PC. I am signed up to 1 MB broadband but when I connect wirelessly via a laptop (iBook G4) it is so slow - see below! How can I sort this out?

:welcome:

did you use the ibook connected directly to the modem before you setup the network? if so, what kind of speeds were you getting then?

Have you got any other computers on at the same time?

What signal strength do you have on the network? (airport icon, then open internet connect, then there is a signal strength bar.)
