Tengokuu Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 So, I'm not getting the best Wi-Fi speeds because my E6400 doesn't want to use Wireless N for some reason. As you can see here, when connected, it only uses Wireless-G When I'm in System Profiler (Information), under Wi-Fi, my network IS listed as a Wireless N network: So yeah, don't know whats up. It also does this with other networks in my area that uses Wireless N, Windows 7 can use N without any problem on the same network, so it isn't a configuration problem.

Administrators Syonagar Posted July 14, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 14, 2012 Dear Tengokuu, Apparently os x will not allow n connection for non-airport wifi card. One way to get n connection is to rebrand your dell wifi as airport. Cheers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tengokuu Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 I don't quite understand the rebranding process, infact, looks kinda' intimidating. What's the worst that could happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Syonagar Posted July 16, 2012 Administrators Share Posted July 16, 2012 Dear tengokuu, What's the worst? I'll say this "Use At Your Own Risk" Personaly, i prefer not to mess with my hardware's vanilla bios or firmware. I'm too concerned that i'll accidently brick it with my adventurism. However, if you are interested. We have a guide in the osxlatitude.com. Have a look at it. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably mess something up myself, maybe I'll try rebranding on my D820 as a little test subject, see if I can actually get the hang of it, but I'm not gonna' do it right now with my abilities of stupidity. c: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
