Help! My wireless on my mac is still slow. On a 6 MB internet speed I'm getting less than 1 MB download speed.
Side by side my laptop running linux will download 5 mbps and mac only .90 Mbps. So, there is seriously something wrong here.
There's nothing wrong with the Macbook. Every laptop has a different model of wireless chipset in it - some handle certain channels/environments better than others. Assuming you aren't downloading at the same time with both machines, you need to change the channel on your router. You'll need to experiment to find the one that works best with both machines.
