Slow WiFi on iMac

    Just upgraded to 120mb UPC broadband (was at 50mb) and my speeds are only getting up to around 70mb, thought it was the router at first then tried a long ethernet cable going into the other room and I'm getting the full 120mb.

    Is a Mid 2010 iMac WiFi only capable of maxing out at 70mb? I have a AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x8F) card in the iMac.

    Any help would be appreciated :D

    Depending on your distance from the WiFi unit you're speeds will vary. Obstacles such as walls and fridges will also reduce the signal strength causing your devices to step back their agreed speeds to suit the conditions. Connecting the cable proves the point. 70Mb is actually quite a decent speed for Wifi.

    Cheers ken. As a wired connection isn't really an option is something like those home plugs any good?
