AmesMUG: Why am I only getting 35kb/sec now?

[Colin Wheeler]

Ok I am officially an idiot. I tested the connection speed on the Mac  
Mini and it's connected through Ethernet and it had the same 35 kb  
limit. Turns out I restarted the DSL modem and it's back to it's  
usual speediness. I guess as it happened a day after installing the  
802.11n enabler after I came back home and reconnected with it for  
the first time since installing the enabler I got ahead of myself and  
introduced cognitive biases into this situation and didn't start out  
with the simple solution. I just kept restarting the Airport Extreme  
base station instead of the DSL modem. It's finals time for me  
people! *sigh*

Anyway thanks for all your help! Finals will be over for me after  
tonight!
