New iMac: compatibility issues with wireless router?

[justinl]

love the new mac eh? i love the sexy aluminum... gahhh. I got mine a month ago. dunno if you know this already or not, but when you're prompted to install new computer updates, DO NOT install teh software update 1.1 for the OS. there's a video driver problem with it that will chronically freeze your computer... and you'll have to reinstall your OS... trust me it sucks. apple's working on a solution though...

anyways, your own problem. have you tried changing the channel of the wireless? when you set up the linksys, there's a set up thing that you have to mess around in. cant remember where, but theres a field where you can set what channel the wireless broadcasts on. i believe you can select any channel from 1-11. default channel for most, if not all, wireless stuff (remotes, net, etc etc) is 7. so i think that channel is just crowded for you (which would muck it all up). try changing the cahnnel to another, lower or higher channel like 3 or 9. note that the channels overlap by one so if you change it from 7 to 6 (or 8), it wont make any difference.

there's a video on the channel thing somewhere if you dont know what im talking about... let me see if i cant find it...
