Mac OS 10.4.10 and MacBook Airport Issues? [Updated]

Hmmm, no issues for me.

i didnt know it was a common problem, but my wireless has been playing up loads recently. I never would have thought it was OS X. I kept resetting my router and things, and it would still dropout, take 10minutes to connect.

i think this is true because i'm having intermitent kernel panic with my mac and my wireless connection is intermitently disconnected.

Same problem here.

I had a problem but, I didn't think it was anything related to the system. I thought the router was to blame. I was using the AirPort signal and sharing it over ethernet to an older Mac. It worked fine, but iChat on the MacBook would disconnect while the older Mac connected could go online fine.

Then the wireless signal dropped all together and even with Internet Sharing disabled I had a lot of trouble getting online. I reset the router and I still had the same problem, it took a restart for me to get back to normal.

Odd huh? :p

Same problem here.

It's the same for me. I've noticed that Safari will not load web pages even though the airport signal shows full strength then followed by a kernel panic.

Heya guys.

My wife's macbook 2Ghz / 1GB / 80GB is having the same problems. Initially just had issues with disconnections from our Linksys 802.11n router.. but then the kernel panics began, and have been increasing. I can't be sure, but I would say the problems coincided with the installation of 10.4.10. Pretty frustrating. It's not totally unbearable at the moment, so I'm hoping for a quick fix from Apple.

Further to this, the other two macbooks I purchased for my wife's two sisters, are both out of action at the moment. One with a siddently dead battery, the other won't boot at all. We're not having so much luck with the macbooks so far are we? Hopefully my 2.2GHz Macbookpro is a little more reliable... arrives any day now (can't wait).

I had some trouble.. but when I switched from WEP to WPA it worked again. It also worked with no security at all. I've had similar problems with some previous updates but then I just changed the channel and it worked again. :rolleyes:

Edit: No kernel panics for me.. just no connection/signal.

I've had problems with WiFi dropping out on my macbook even before 10.4.10. However now i have a problem that although the connection doesn't seem to dropout, the internet seems to drop for a mili second every now and then. So my downloads just stop sometimes and when i'm using remote desktop it drops out.

I'm on a WEP network at home... I have been getting plenty of drops, mysteriously. I guess now i have an update to blame.
