iMac Wi-Fi update v1.0 : is it working for you?

I'm glad it's working for you-and flawlessly at that. 🙂

I'm still encountering disconnect problems, but not severe. This morning upon waking my iMAC up, I had the greyed out wi-fi bars. I had to "check off" my network 3 times in the drop down of networks and then got connected. (Before the update, I would get Time Out messages, and would have to unplug my router, re-plug it in and reboot to get things going.)

For me, so far, while my iMAC speed has increased, and it is easier to get a connection, I still have to do a little work to help things along. But this is better than what was happening previously on my machine.

Go to your Airport Utility and see if there is an update for it. A friend of mine did the wifi update and was still having probs, but I told her to check the Airport Utility for an update. There was one so she updated and so far, so good.

You shouldn't have a problem with the older iMAC. My friend has the older version, (mid '07) and did the update and said it's working great with no issue so far.
My question to you is, why do the 10.7.3 update? The newest update is v1.0. It makes a definite improvement.

I had perviously updated to the 10.7.3 and my issues are stated above in my first post - it wasn't limited to the sleep issue, I was also having multiple drop outs through out the day. Not only that, but it wasn't easy to get "connected" again. I would suggest giving the newer update, v1.0 a shot. Make sure your router firmware is up to date, first. Another thing you may want to try is: After you check that your router firmware is up to date, then do the v1.0 update. Check and see how your connection is, then let it sleep a bit and check again. If you still have the problem, unplug your router for 30 seconds and then replug it back in. Keep us posted.

Yes, it appears that the problem started for a lot of us after upgrading to Lion OS. (My other Macs that do not run Lion are not affected 🙂) Good to hear that you did replace your router and modem and had some resolution. I take it you're still using the 10.7.2? Definitely update when you can to the v1.0 and let us know!

Glad to hear that it's working for you! What year is your iMAC? Thanks for letting us know 😀

I just lost my connection again, but with this update, I am able to reconnect faster. I have a late 2009 iMac (November). My router is from 2006. I think I'm going to have to replace it with a newer one.

Try this: unplug your router for about 30 seconds, then plug in again. Then, reboot. It works for some, but not all. It might work for you. Good luck!
