I bought my blackbook about 6 months ago and have just moved into a new place were we use a linksys G router for cable internet. For some reason my macbook's wireless is really slow, and sometimes fails to load pages. The pc's on the network are fine and are a fast a it should be. Is this a common problem? How can i speed it up?? This is the first time i have had this problem with it. Thanks!

just in case no one has figured out the problem for you . . here's my 2cts

if you're located in an area with a lot of wireless hotspots, then you might want to consider changing the channels on your router. A lot of routers come stock set at Channel 6, so most likely, everyone around you has it set on Channel 6, so change it and you will get a more consistent wireless signal.

Hope that helps!

I'd believe it's a problem with your Router. I know that sounds dumb -- but I promise that's probably what it is. Router's don't usually have a restocking fee I'd try purchasing a new one to see if your current one may be on the fritz.
