I just bought the 2.4 ghz model and it is fast and nice. However, it drops the wireless connection. The router is a Nfinity Buffalo and had no problems with my old PowerBook G4 and all other computers in my house. So, I read lots of posts on Apple's MacBook Pro forums about the same issue. <br><br>The fix for me was taking the router off of B/G/N combined speeds. I had to set it to G because of the older computers on the wireless network. Thought I'd post this to give others a fix if they run into the problem. <br><br><br>Too many lives they've spent across the ocean. Too much money been spent upon the moon.

I called Buffalo (the makers of my router) and asked if they knew any other tricks to make the multiple network work without dropouts. They said it should actually be set on a single speed. It's really meant to work that way. He also said I could try having it on an open network with WEP but I'm just leaving it on G. <br><br>Too many lives they've spent across the ocean.

My dLink N router is set to G only because the Mini is the only machine that is connected via wireless. It is also a closed and hidden network with WPA2 personal encryption enabled. It has been absolutely stable.<br><br>
The Buffalo routers are nice.<br><br>If you get more N enabled devices you could buy an inexpensive G router, and plug that into the N router.<br><br>The G speed is much faster than any internet connection, but hobbles communication speeds between N devices.<br><br><br>Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!®
