[L14M333]

Hello, i Have had the 21.5" iMac since December and i love it! but recently i found out my router supports 802.11 SuperG Mode (108mbps) so i enabled it in my router settings but there is no change on my mac :S.. im running 10.6.2 SL and i have tried it on two SuperG enabled routers with no luck can anyone help me out here? when holding option key and clicking on the wifi logo i get these stats... (in attachments as well)

PHY Mode: 802.11g
BSSID: 0:14:85:8:68:a6
Channel: 6 (2.4GHz)
Security: None... (i have wep enabled :S)
RSSI: -48
Transmit Rate: 54

Any help would be great.
Thanks

SuperG only works with network adaptors of the same type because it is not a standard specification. Macs support the standard, 802.11a/b/g/n. It just isn't going to work for you, it requires an Atheros chip and I think most Macs use a Marvell chip that doesn't support SuperG.

Sorry! Your best bet, buy a 802.11n router, that will give you significantly faster performance then even SuperG (in theory).

FYI- Change the name of the network. You never want the name of the network to identify you as a person.
