May 19, 2013 10:54 AM in response to Art Machineby Corradomac,I found a solution which temporarily fixes the problem. It's only temporarily since the problem keeps coming back.
Here's what I have done :
In Finder, press command + shift + g and in the drop-down dialogue box, enter ~/Library
Locate the following preferences files :
- com.apple.internetconfig.plist
- com.apple.internetconfigpriv.list
In Finder, press command + shift + g and in the drop-down dialogue box enter :
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Copy the files somewhere as a precaution and then delete them from the Library folder and empty the trash.
Turn Airport off and reboot. Turn Airport back on.
It is only a temporarily fix, so Apple sort this out please! It's very annoying since the problem exists since Lion!

May 19, 2013 12:20 PM in response to Corradomacby Corradomac,Another thing I applied :
Open finder press cmd + shift + g
Enter : /library/preferences/systemconfiguration
Now take the systemconfiguration folder and delete it
Provide your password then delete and empty the trash
Restart your computer

May 20, 2013 12:38 AM in response to Corradomacby Corradomac,Another temporarily solution :
Use Onyx to clean the DNS cache.
None of the above solution actually keeps the problem away but it is a temporarily solution.
I've read that Apple is working on 10.8.4 and they are concentrating on WiFi issues. Hopefully it is a definitive fix, since the problem exists since Lion! Apple please!

May 27, 2013 8:36 AM in response to henrijacobsby CloneRec.,Apple should fix this now! Otherwise I'll return my MBPr... I've tried every mentioned solution across the internet and nothing worked yet. I couldn't even restore my MBP over the internet after I've messed a BootCamp installation a few days ago.
Not cool, Apple

May 28, 2013 3:25 PM in response to henrijacobsby Jimmah1972,Very disappointed at Apple. Not a proud owner of a MBA 2012 13.3. This is my first Mac and will be my last as I'm feed up with wifi issues. No help from Apple support as they act like they never heard of the issue.

May 29, 2013 12:02 PM in response to CloneRec.by Corradomac,The most reliable (temporarily) solution I use is to reset the DNS cache : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5343
Sometimes I do a restart, reset the DNS chache and again a restart. This helps (for the moment).

Jun 5, 2013 6:54 AM in response to Art Machineby Art Machine,Okay, I spoke too soon.
While my WiFi problems were indeed solved to my satisfaction, I made the fatal error of installing the Mountain Lion 10.8.4 update, and the WiFi is now just as bad as it used to be, suggesting that the update contains no WiFi fix whatsoever (much as I expected).
The same goes for other iMacs in our office - everyone who updated is experiencing the same troubles.

Jun 5, 2013 7:45 AM in response to Csound1by Art Machine,Why yes, we do have system images produced just after the working WiFi fix, so we will indeed be restoring to 10.8.3. I just posted to let people know that 10.8.4 is no kind of fix for our WiFi problems.

Good that you have images, restore them
Fortunately many posters to this site have reported that the upgrade has fixed the WiFi connection issues that plagued them with 10.8.3.
