I am not sure if thiscould all be just plain old coincidence and it is actually the problem with my cable company, but after my room-mate and I upgraded to 10.3.3 our wireless connection just crapped out. we are getting about a tenth of what we were getting . he also got a new imac with airport extreme in it. could that be slowing our whole network down.
I have a linksys router with four computer connected to it (all wirelessly). and it seems to coincide with both of our upgrades so if it is a porblem with our set-up is there anything we can do?
thanks for any help,
spence

Depends on how far you are willing to go. I've had wireless issues on a Ti PB 800 since 10.3.2 (wireless locks up the GUI, wired runs cool all day). I have been told that the Airport software released on the Panther disks is fine and has solved similar problems for some people.

This would be my first thought as the problem began after you installed in update to the OS. I have seen links in the Mac OS X forum here that points to docs about reverting software. I have not tried this, as I have no need for potential downtime at the moment if something critical should arise.
