Can you help troubleshoot the internet connection to my mac mini?

Asked by rovdog (842points) February 1st, 2010

Having terrible internet slowdown with a new 2.53 Ghz intel mac mini running os X 10.6.2. I get broadband through Comcast cable, with a cable modem hooked up to a wireless 2.4 GHz G router.

reception of the airport card reports 4 bars but the internet will randomly get very slow- slower than it does on any other machine on my network. for instance, I will download a file at say 5 or 10 mbps and then the next download will be in the range of 10kbs per second all of a sudden. any idea what might be going on?
