Ok I have a Mac mini set up and connected wirelessly to a Orange wireless router and using a online speedtest about 20 times over 3 days get average connection showing of just under 1Mbps.

When i try the same test on my iBook i get around 4Mbps, on my dell mini I also get 4mbps.

So I assumed it was a problem with the wireless reception where the mini is situated, so I connected it via ethernet cable and got... the same result, under 1Mbps.

any suggestions on this as I am cluelsess and dont even know where to start?

the reason all this came to light is I bought a NAS and can stream vidseo fine to everything but the Mini!

Thanks

EDIT Oh also is there a guide anywhere for the best/proper way to set up NAS sharing with macs? just bought a buffalo linkstation and manual isnt that detailed for the mac, and there doesnt seem to be much online.

Nope a HD underneath but nothing on top, connection is fine at all other times and with other computers just have problems with the NAS connection.
