Have not used Fetch, but I have been downloading and uploading stuff from my e-mail accounts. Uploads are very problematic. A 4.6 Meg upload would not go at all until I went to the other router.</p> I was thinking it might be a wireless phone interference problem so I did quite a bit of frequency swapping with no results… I left both routers on the automatic “find the best frequency” mode.

But next I would try an ftp transfer. You have fetch?

Just to check, I turned off the encryption on her wireless router and had the same symptoms. One difference between our routers is that right now, mine is wide open. There are not too many settings in the D-Link routers and I went through both of them looking for discrepancies without finding anything. I should have done a hard reset on her router, but I haven’t yet since her computer is working fine.</p> And the download speed is fine… so I suspect there’s not an encryption problem.

But WEP is so docile that it seems unlikely.</p> Further, if you were using WPA2 or higher encryption, I can see where the MacBook might have trouble ’seeing’ it.
