After I got my Mac Mini I connected to my wireless router on the 5Ghz band. Browsing on the Mac Mini was very very slow. I was new to Mac, but still knew something was wrong here. I tried a lot of different things, but wont mention them all here. But my Wife's laptop connects and works just fine on the 5G. Browsing was fast on her Acer. So I ruled out my Router. Issue went on for several days, but then decided to try connecting to the 2.4 and now my Mac Mini flies.

I tell this for 2 reasons. If anyone else is having this issue try the above, and also does anyone know why the 5 g reacts this way on my Mac Mini. BTW..Router is WNDR3700.

Thanks
