Examining the intricacies of slow Wi-Fi connections

It’s sooooo slooooow!  Once again I am back on this very common topic and this time the “it” is Wi-Fi connections, again. 

No matter how fast and well-tuned someone’s computer might be, no matter how fast their internet connection is, often the local Wi-Fi in the house is the culprit when I hear the complaint: “It’s so slow.”

Let us start by you clicking on your Wi-Fi icon; in both OS-X and Windows this icon should be found in close proximity to the clock.  When you click on this icon you will see a list of available access points.  If you see the name of your modem and it has a good strong signal then that is good.  If in addition to your name you see others such as Suzie, Infinitum68, Hilton, Rodney, Arris5213, Linksys, HPLaser and so on, that means you have neighbors who have their own Wi-Fi access points.  If you have neighbors using their own Wi-Fi then you might have a problem.
