    We have an Apple Network router,
    getting up there,but works well with both kidsApple laptops
    It was always poor on my 8900, but constantly dropping Playbook
    Anyone recommend a BB friendlier router to replace this with?


    thanks

    Might just be your settings. I find the pb doesnt do well with hidden ssid's.

    Try updating the driver for your router.
    I have the Apple router and works fine with my PB.
    Here are instructions for updating the driver on your Apple router...
    Go into Finder, click Applications > Utilities > Airport Utility
    Double click on the router, then hit "update".
    Done

    FYI I'm running Airport Extreme driver version 7.5.2

    I've had my AirPort for about 4 years now. One thing I noticed is that it runs really hot and gets buggy if you don't keep it well ventilated. I have mine sitting on 4 little blocks (dice) so that air can get under it.
