No such thing exist in the computer world. All you can do is narrow down the cause(s) and sometimes, there are just too many variables, so OSX re-install cover all software cases, unless you really have a hardware problem. I forgot, do SMC reset, and recently there is a post of somebody having a similar problem with Safari, but everything else works, and accordingly to him it was an ISP problem. Why would the ISP discriminate Safari only beats the heck out of me.

The router receives its internet connection via a modem of some kind, most often cable or DSL these days. They first obtain a signal from your computer, which is then changed into a radio wave and transmitted via an external or internal antenna to your router.

That's because, put frankly, most Wi-Fi router manufacturers absolutely suck at making their devices easy to set up and use. They require you to use web-based interfaces. They present you with page after page of configuration information, myriad checkboxes and radio buttons that are either not well-described or not described at all, clad in techno jargon. Setting up a Wi-Fi router can be tremendously intimidating to the layperson. Hell, I worked in IT, and I find setting these things up intimidating. Most people buying these devices aren't IT people.

IStumbler will also show you signal strength and noise which should also help to improve the wireless signal. As for your internet connection I would say the problem is with HughesNet. If I would say what you experience is totally normal. The fastest plan they offer is only 2Mbit and Satellite internet is not the best option in general. Open office for mac.

In other words, you don't need to buy a separate AppleCare coverage plan for your AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule or AirPort Express. It's automatically covered within two years of the AppleCare-covered device's purchase. What this means is that if you have an AppleCare-covered device and something goes wrong with your Apple router, you can call Apple and expect to get help and expect to get it repaired or replaced at no cost to you. That's certainly better than the standard factory warranties of many other routers from other manufacturers. Also, good luck getting competent Mac or iOS-centric support from most of third-party router makers. The bottom line I've laid out some practical considerations for considering an Apple router for your next Wi-Fi networking purchase, but obviously one size does not fit all, and Haroon Raja makes some great suggestions for people who are more technically inclined and less intimidated by technology.

Now alter your settings in the Air so it to is accessing the same 2.4 GHz band. You should now see the same performance numbers! From the same location in your house.
