MacBook Air wireless problems?
This news comes just as some of you are un-boxing that shiny new MacBook Air. Macworld reports that Apple has updated the MacBook Air wireless release note. In this release note, Apple explains that you may experience problems with older 802.11n routers when using Remote Disc, Migration Assistant, or Remote Install. As a possible solution Apple mentions that you can try upgrading the firmware on your router; however, this is only possible if your router supports upgrades (although most popular routers do). Otherwise, you may be looking to get a new router; which adds to the total cost of owning a MacBook Air.

February 01 2008 at 3:07 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replyanyone who owns an apexbs and has used the airdisk feature could have guessed this would be a problem.

January 31 2008 at 11:55 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyI guess this applies to the changes in the draft-n specs?
January 31 2008 at 11:31 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyMy guess is that this stems from pre-draft N (even some early draft N) routers being out of spec. Anyone experiencing this? I'll probably bump up to gigabit ethernet all around when I move in May and as a result will end up with a Time Capsule but it'd be nice to know.
