Many thanks for this link - BUT Apple say it's not suitable for Airport. However, I've now removed Coconut WiFi and speeds are dramatically up. I thought this might be a useful utility but it seems to affect the connection speeds in some way.Saw it on another forum.

It's a piece of software, shareware I think, that I downloaded in order to use the Macbook in WiFi hotspots - it indicates what level of encription is used and how accessible it will be. For some reason it seems to interfere with my system. If you haven't downloaded it, you won't have it!

Thanks Chris

I reregistered with this name as I missed the 't' when I first registered!! I asked but apparently I am not allowed to request the change of name.

Thanks for the advice.

I have a similar problem except my Intel Macbook suddenly disconects from internet, and it gests soooo slow that even gmail suggests the html version. My Dell laptop has full signal in the same spot as does my Macbook when it is working correctly.

every 10 minutes or so it does the same... it disconects right after losing a signal line and it stays that way until I reconect manually (which is only good for about 5 minutes)... ¿CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
