Would it make sense to buy a Wi-Fi dongle for the Mini and bypass the built-in hardware? Can anybody suggest a fix? Thanks! ![]() I've done some basic maintenance, like repairing permissions and cleaning out old cache files. My friend brought the Mini to a local shop and the tech found nothing wrong with it, but they didn't have Uverse. AT&T says it should work but maybe the Mini hardware is not fully compatible with IP-DSL. The Mini AirPort is 802.11a/b/g and the modem is 802.11n/g. ![]() The trouble started when my friend switched to Uverse. The Mini used to be on a DSL over phone line connection with no problems (different provider). (My friend also has a newer iMac hooked up to the modem which works fine.) If you disconnect Ethernet and turn off the AirPort, you can use applications and utilities without any problems. Sometimes you can open a web site or an application, but you get the spinning beach ball within about 20 seconds. Network preferences shows an active Ethernet connection.īut if you try to work on the computer while connected, it's mostly unresponsive. ![]() AirPort sees the Wi-Fi network and you can connect to it. Trying to help a friend whose Mac Mini doesn't seem to work with AT&T Uverse IP-DSL.
