    Clothing For Birding/Wildlife.

    Transferring file over LAN/Wifi from Mac to Lappy...VERY slow speeds

    What router is it ? is it WiFi B? G? or N ? are you using static or DHCP ip addressing ? Have you tried disabling AntiVirus ? and firewalls ? Connection speed will only ever work at the speed of the slowest device.
