My computer has been running really slow. So I decided to bypass my airport (Time Capsule) and plug the ethernet cable directly into my iMac. Now, it's back to being really fast. What should I do? Is there a way to test my airport? The thing is, when I do have the Time Capsule connected, it always shows full bars for my connection but it still gets slow. Actually what happens is when I check my network diagostics, the airport lights are always green but the ISP, internet, and server lights are red and then jump back and forth between red and green. Something tells me I have a problem with my airport which is why my computer is running slow. I've tried every other troubleshooting trick there is. Thanks.
