Spotty 2wire/airport connectivity

mcian · Nov 6, 2009, 01:30 PM

Hello,

Can anyone recommend a mac compatible "booster" for my 2Wire router?

This was AT&T's recommendation after I complained about spotty wifi access to my g4 powerbook. I'm using a 2wire 2701HGB and am getting the worst connection via airport.

The wireless connection works fine on my HP dv2 -1010ea and the g4 works fine in other locations, (coffee shop, other houses with wifi, hotels, etc.) but not at home. I've tried all manner of WEP, WPA 2, and $password shenanigans, but it the airport signal is woefully unreliable.

Doubtful the booster will help, but willing to try it, if anyone knows of one.

Thanks

My 2wire died, so I got an g/n Netgear router. All signal issues gone.
