Hi everyone,
I'm only seeing about 5mb/sec avg speed between my 500GB Time Capsule and 13" Macbook.
I feel like there should be better speed between these local devices..
Using 802.11n (b/g compatible)
Automatic channel
WPA/WPA2 security
Latest updates
No AV or silly apps running
Network is clean
The macbook is in the same room as the Time Capsule. Logs look okay and there are only 3 devices on the network, boxee and iphone and my macbook. Should I switch 802.11n 5ghz? Will there be a speed difference? Concerned about compatibility for new devices that may come to this network.
Hope to hear some feedback.

Still interested in any other feedback about TC + MB wireless n speeds. I wasnt seeing any speeds over 5mb/sec streaming to my boxee box. I may give the 5ghz mode a try this weekend.
Thanks!
