Macbook Wireless Slow Down

    Hi Guys,

    Trying to figure out this problem for a while now:

    Hardware Macbook Pro Unibody and Macbook Late 2007
    Both Running 10.6.4
    Netopia 2274 Router (Motorola)
    3Mbs ADSL Internet Connection

    What basically happening is that when the Unibody Macbook Pro connect to our wireless Internet connection is causes a serious slow down in loading webpages, viewing youtube and so on...

    I've verified this by toggling wireless on and off on the Pro and my Macbook hits normal usable speed.
    Restarted both PCs and Router, changed wireless channels to see if that would help but nothing.

    What else can I do?

    Never had this problem until lately. Both Macs were working for 9 months off said router

    How does the Unibody peform when connected by itself? Is it trying to download updates I wonder?

    No its not downloading updates. This has been happening for the last week. Also using a Ethernet connection but the problem persists.
