It is okay. You have a 802.11g capable network which offers you the maximum transfer rate of 54Mbit/s.
Do you have any problems or why are you asking?
Just wondering because my internet connection has been laggier, slower and drops a lot more. I think it's time for an airport extreme
. Would that help cuz that iStumblr thing is telling me that my connection is like 38%.How would I go about doing that? Sorry, totally noobish to the network settings :X.
Depends on the router.... Most of them have a WEB interface that you can go in and change settings. Connect, login and go to the channel setting and move it to auto or pick a channel that is not on the list that you have in iStumbler.
What model router is it? Might be able to find a tutorial.

Second screen shot is where you can set the channel. Wireless Settings.
Hope this helps.
Too late. By tracing the other network SSIDs he didn't censor, I was able to triangulate his position and network and am packet sniffing as we speak. Muhahaha... all his credit card details are belong to us!
...but seriously to the OP: if you get the IP address of your router from System Preferences and enter it in a browser window, that should take you to the admin window of your router. You'll probably need a name & password, if you haven't changed these yourself previously, they should be in the documentation with the router. You'll be able to change the channel there.
LMAO! Idk, leave me alone lol! You would find it pathetic on how much I don't know anything about network settings. Im just gonna get a new router. Wish me luck lol, ill probably break the thing.
