My son has a MacBook Titanium, and gets great speed on our home Airport Extreme connection, I have a MacBook Pro and it is very very slow at the same tasks. is there any tweaks that I can make on my MacBook Pro to speed it up?
You mean PowerBook Titanuim (AKA Tibook)? There never was a macbook titanium... Also, the MacBookPro is about 8 years newer than the Tibook so it should be faster. Based on that, ill assume that you got it flipped and that YOU have the Tibook and your son has the MBP. I need this info to help you: (Found at Apple Menu, About this Mac/Computer)

The antennas in the Macbook Pros have had an issue with reception due to the aluminum housing of the laptop but, should still receive decent reception just not as much as a plastic Macbook or plastic PC laptop. It could be possible that the antenna's cables have become disconnected from the Airport Extreme card inside your Macbook Pro, that the card itself is faulty or damaged or that the Antennas themselves have been damaged in some way. As always make sure you have the latest updates and have installed any driver updates from Apple regarding your Airport Extreme card. Here's an article that may help eliminate any wireless interference that may be affecting your signal strength. Apple - Wireless Interference hope this helps, if so don't forget to comment, vote, etc. Thank you.
Wow, I've heard of Apple Mac's being evil before, but never heard of one knocking out a whole wireless router.
The technology used by Apple Mac and everybody else is really the same. I can't think of a reason for a macbook pro to cause a router to actually stop transmitting signal?
Try a different wireless router ... see if it zaps that one too. If so take the Apple back to the store or to your church for an exorcism.
Newer Apple Mac may have Airport Pro ... with 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz frequency bands in it. It won't have such an amazing amount of power coming out of it that it can zap (like star wars) a wireless router.
By the way Airport Extreme is a very nice wireless router ... and it should play nice both with Apple Mac's and every other kind of computer. And you can link more than one of them wirelessly.
You need to make sure the wireless card of the Dell is set to the same settings of the Airport.
Also, try to ping the Dell under the ipconfig command. If you still have no connection, then you have a problem with the wireless card.
I had trouble connecting my PC to an airport network that my mac was working just fine on. I found this forum to get an "equivalent network password" and it worked great. The pictures were helpful too. Go to the Airport Utility and Then the "Base Station" header on your mac. Then select "Equivalent Network Password". It will be super long and lots of letters and numbers. Worked for me! Here is the forum: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1790
You should only use Windows xp for running a program that is
not yet available from Apple. There shouldn't be much reason to link to
the net while in Windows. Also while in Windows you are wide open to any
viruses that exist. Try getting your work done without getting on the
net, then go back to your Apple format. There you are 99% free of
viruses. … Still need to link onto the net let me know I will ask at our
Apple Computer Club on Monday
