Hi,

I've tried to load this video on my iPad, it's the one about the 27" iMac and it goes for ~7 minutes. Unfortunately, it goes quite slow but it also stops after it's about one fifth done and never finishes.

I've just loaded the same video on my Mac Pro, it took 15 seconds. Now, I do expect the iPad to go a bit slower, but not as slow as it is, and I expect it to finish what it's doing eventually!

I've posted a similar thing about YouTube before, but this a bit different since it actually stops loading altogether.

Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing these issues? My WiFi signal doesn't fluctuate and I've not had any problems with it really, it's just slower and doesn't finish this video.

I've got the latest AEBS that operates on dual frequencies with the latest firmware update, here are some details:
Channel: 149 (Automatic), 7 (Automatic), Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal, Radio Mode: Automatic, Radio Channel Selection: Automatic

Under the internet icon/tab, the DHCP tab says I have a DHCP Lease that goes for 1 day(s).
Also, Connection Sharing is set to Share a public IP address, the other two options are Distribute a range of IP addresses, or Off (Bridge Mode)

I also have Wide Channels turned on.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: ... I've turned Wide Channels off and it seems to be working now, however I hope that holds up.
