Just installed Airport Extreme and it's connected. When I reboot the computer it takes about 3 minutes for the internet to connect. With the DSL cable box it only took about 20 seconds. Any settings I can change to increase the speed?
Got a tip for us?

What are you doing to check if it is connected to the internet?
Are you getting an IP right away? If not, is that what is taking 3 minutes?
Are you connecting via wireless or wired?
Definitely need more details here.
The AEBS is always connected unless you are powering it down. Since you mentioned DSL, is your computer initiating PPPoe (if your ISP requires it). If so, this could be part of the delay. Like I said, need more details about your setup to help.

I have an ethernet cable running from the Airport Extreme to the the iMac. The other things not sure how to check. But it's interesting that the Macbook boots up and connects to the internet (wirelessly) immediately.
