Hi I've recently got a 20inch 2.66GHz iMac. I'm using wifi to connect to the internet on it but the signal I get fluctuates wildly. Most of the time it will be full strength but the internet will still be slow. Then it will go down to 1 or 2 bars, and sometimes nothing.

I don't think it's anything to do with the router as I've also got a black MacBook which runs absolutely fine on wifi. In fact they are right next to each other at the moment.

I did a google search before posting here and did read something about a known issue on the Intel iMacs about wifi strength but I thought this would have been updated through the firmware. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Patrick
