Hi, when I first got my time capsule, I made it work on the G speed of network, but we have just got a new macbook pro and I want to change it to the N speed! How would I do this? Thanks
 
Does your TC even support wireless N?

Also, if you run ANY wireless G devices on your network, all devices will be slowed down to wireless G speeds, regardless if the network is set to wireless N.

Unless it is the newer model (feb/mar 09 onwards? i forget the date), in which case it will run N and g/b at the same time.
 
Yer I does support wireless n. I have one of the older ones so I can't do dual networks, but I wasn't guna use my old laptop on it anymore so it would only be the new MacBook pro so it should be able to run at the n speeds. Also I couldn't find anything in the airport utility cus that was just about changing the passwords and stuff, not changing the wireless speed. :-S
 
I'm sure when I set it up there was a part where I had to choose which speed I wanted to use? So your saying that as long as my iPhone and old iBook aren't connected it should run at the N speeds? Thanks
 
airport utility>manual setup>wireless

from there you can choose G (2.4GHz) or N (5GHz)

It should, but the best option is to switch it to N only mode (5GHz)

If he does switch to N only (5GHz), I don't believe his Touch and/or iPhone will be able to connect - correct?

Unless you have a newer DB model, you have to run mixed to allow all of your devices to connect.

I currently have a non-DB AEBS and because of my older AE, I can't switch to N only (5GHz) - I'm thinking I might have to pick up a new TC. :cool:
