Jan 26, 2014 6:31 PM in response to marc.cortinasby tviain,I just bought a 2013 rmbp and talked for waaay to long with apple support while they had me delete applications and boot into safeboot to try and fix the issue.
It would be nice for apple to just admit it's a software problem (if its that) so I don't have to waste their time and mine doing pointless trouble shooting.
They gave me 30 days return which is nice but I have a feeling it will be going back sooner.

Jan 27, 2014 8:47 AM in response to nirmaltsby Cart Man,Yes unchecking "Wake for Network Access" worked for me to and immediately solved the problem with my late 2013 retina MBPro.
It does take a few seconds to reconnect when waking from sleep but this is no big deal.

Jan 27, 2014 11:16 AM in response to ShaneD90by ammar.m,Can confirm the same erratic ping response on my late 2013 rMBP 13-inch, running 10.9.1.

Jan 28, 2014 2:31 PM in response to ShaneD90by freshstaff.allan,Hi All,
I thought I would relate to you the issues I have faced with my unit.
Original Unit: Late 2013 MBP 13" 2.4Ghz 16GB RAM (Date of Manufacture 25/11/2013)
Issues: Dropped Wifi Connectivity (on AC and N) every 5 mins, Fails to reconnect to Wifi on wake from Sleep. Long pings to Local Gateway (at 1ms intervals) Normal Pings (at 0.2ms intervals). Approx 5% dropped packets
Did the genius bar thing, troubleshooting, diagnosis and ended up with a replacement MacBook (after having rather animated discussions in store with the Genius that was reviewing the issue).
New Unit: Late 2013 MBP 13" 2.4Ghz 16GB RAM (Date of Manufacture 23/01/2014)
No longer seeing any issues with dropped wifi connections which indicates to me there was likely a hardware fault in the original unit. Still seeing erratic pings on 1ms intervals but 0.2ms intervals are fine. 0% Dropped packets. Have yet to give the unit a week of testing to present with any other issues but if and when they do I will come back and report here.
Cheers
Allan

Jan 31, 2014 8:12 AM in response to Zakaradosby Denis Papin,Hello, I have exactly the same problem. The Wifi is very slow on my rMBP 15'' that I bought 2 months ago.
The guy at the store told me that he heard about that but nothing official so he cannot be sure to be able to fix the Macbook pro. It's unbelievable, I left my 1900 euro machine at the store and they may not be able to fix it !!!

I also tested with a mac mini and it works fine on the same LAN with the same Wifi N.
I tried with another Wifi box, in a G mode, same result. The rMBP is slow. So it's not a compatibility problem with my Wifi box.
I did a video in French :
Sorry it's in French but I think we can understand what I show.
Why does Apple not test their laptop before going to the market
Thanks for reading me.

Jan 31, 2014 8:24 AM in response to ShaneD90by Jane Snijders,I returned my second 2.6 ghz/t tb ssd macbook pro late 2013 as well. In time for a full refund.
Just got myself a second hand 2012 15 inch 2.6 ghz . which i equipped with 1 tb ssd and a 1 tb hd...
No wireless issues at all. Just as fast a the new model but with an extra 1tb.
It is a bit heavier though and it tends to get a bit hotter as well......

Jan 31, 2014 11:25 AM in response to johnniecacheby beley,If only we could all choose which routers we used at work and when we're traveling... maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal. As it stands, there's an Airport Extreme at work and I can't make the company replace it just because I have a new computer that's broken and won't work with it.
-
Jan 31, 2014 12:28 PM in response to beleyby johnniecache,Sure, this is not a solution to all of the WiFi problems, yet it is interesting that it works well with some routers and it wont with others.
Next step: I am trying to get that 10.9.2 beta. Then i will re-test with 2.4 GHz N and G networks.
I think this worked for some people in this thread?

Jan 31, 2014 12:34 PM in response to johnniecacheby nirmalts,10.9.2 beta4 is released. No difference in wifi driver between beta3 and 4 however
-
Jan 31, 2014 12:36 PM in response to nirmaltsby johnniecache,Interesting. Is there a driver difference between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 beta 1,2 or 3?
-
Jan 31, 2014 12:39 PM in response to johnniecacheby nirmalts,10.9.1 and beta1 are buggy, beta2 fixed it, beta3 has a newer version, beta4 has the same version as beta3
-
Jan 31, 2014 12:42 PM in response to ShaneD90by johnniecache,Ok, so i really have to try the beta3 build 13C44. (which *apparently* can be found on the web)
