Okay, so my husband went to speedtest.net and test his download and upload... his old a** PC is getting 85mb download, my mac which I just bought in January is only getting 10mb. Can anyone shed light on this? Thanks~
Got a tip for us?

right now we have a netgear typical router, however, my husband said we will be getting a new router that requires wireless N.
It seems you are the third person in this forum with this kind of problem, all see to involve netgear routers (a statistic not a proof)
i have another thread (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/969083/) running with some very technical people. you might want to hold off upgrading to see if we get to the bottom of this
kind regards

Great thanks! I will check it out... as for upgrading it's a time warner thing... they are offering faster service but it's not compatible with the netgear we got from them. Plus we have to upgrade the wireless cards in the other computers as they do not support Wireless N.
