Q: New Macbook Air - wifi connectivity problems
Hey guys,
Hope someone can help?
I have a brand new Macbook Air which is able to connect to the internet for just a minute or two before suddenly it drops out. This is even though the signal still shows at full strength and all my other devices are still able to surf the net as per normal.
This device is straight out of the box so no 3rd party applications have been installed. I heard that the wifi has been upgraded to 802.11n on this machine, could that be an issue?
Do i need to return the machine or is there is a software fix for this problem?
Thanks heaps!

Have you cheked if your Netgear router has the latest firmware ? What model number is it ? Your RSSI,Noise, Tx rate etc. look good. One thing you could try is switch to a different channel, say channel 6 and give that a shot.
Can you copy paste info. from your /var/log/system.log info around the time frame you see the drop ? I can take a look and see if it helps any.
