Ok, just installed the latest AirPort extreme base station...in a PC, xp. Had a Lynksis n router before, so this should be an upgrade. Got it installed, just use the step by step guide, choose passwords etc. Works fine..but, speed is terriable. On the iphone 4 i get between 9-50 kbps tops. If i use the "guest" network i set up i get 50-100 kpbs. In fact it is so slow that the www.4g-speed.info times out half the time and just gives up trying to measure. On the old router, exact same location i got 150-200 kbps. I am not computer savy, so i dont know how to diagnose..any help woul be apreciated. Thanks
Got a tip for us?

What are your settings on the Airport? Type, channel, etc.
Your network could just be conflicting with an existing network resulting in the slow speeds.

I dont know the answer
Like i said, i am not a tech person. I just set it up using the airport air base agent...it did all the work. I dont have any other networks running, it is in a house. How do i change the channel?? thanks, i apreciate it..it is really slow.
