Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13'' Wifi Issues

As most of you, my MBP 13" late 2013 was suffering from this problem as well...

I just updated the driver with Denis' script. Had a few problems running the script as it wouldn't start the terminal. Opening the content of the scripts and directly running the Apple Script resolved this.

Although I can't really tell the difference on the long term, it seems that the problems have been fixed! Thanks a lot, Denis 🙂

It seems to work, but I don't know why 😀

Just try this: http://www7.pic-upload.de/06.02.14/17an8e4hpx3w.png

I changed the channel width from "auto" to "40MHz" and the macbook's wifi works fine 🙂

Macbook: Late 2013 - 15 inch (max equip)

I just opened a case myself - tomorrow morning I will talk to a supervisor 🙂 let's see...

I just checked, the system information still shows me the old number, even after reboot...

I hope Apple will understand I am only trying to fix a problem they created by delivering faulty laptops.

Why don't they provide fixes themselves? Do they care?

@Carl_UK : you can thank topfjoer too, it's a co-production 🙂

thankyou topfjoer for the fix @:O)

Almost 62,000 views now, I wonder how many are Apple staff.

The terminal does not show up when you backup. The script only creates a folder on your desktop.

Did you follow all the step carefully, the original ReplaceDriver folder must be on the desktop too.

Many people ran the script so I guess it works.

I made a mistake by running it from my 'downloads' folder instead of 'desktop' once I moved the files to the correct folder in 'desktop' as per the instructions in the text, everything worked fine.

To the poster above who said that Apple don't seem to know about the problem, they should know because I logged a bug report weeks ago via the support website which points to this thread, a bug report which was never replied to.

I've updated the driver and tested for 3 days, and still see the same problems. Problems with autoconnect or losing connection. Will send my laptop to service to see what they will do.

Although I copied the patch to the desktop and everything went through, after a reboot and checking the system details, the firmware number is still the same (old one).

Nevertheless, this evening I will have a support call, let's see, what apple support will tell me...

Keep us posted on the results of that call. Thanks.

Hey, maybe you were checking with the driver version from the instruction. This is not correct though (it was not updated), you must check for the last number on the driver version!

If the script completed saying something like "done copying" your driver has most certainly been replaced.

It seems that it is be fixed - for now - at least for the last hour I did not have any drops regarding transmission rate to the router (from 250 to 800 according to the wifi menu).

I will keep on checking - unfortunately I won't be home on a regular basis for the next weeks...

i have a strange problem for two days now. Internet connection via WiFi is good, but when i download large files from the Network, it will show the same behaviour every time: it starts, then it stops for a second, then it will download a block of about 1 GB, then another drop, and os on. See this screenshot:

whats going on here? Its exactly the same for every download. WiFi is 5 GHz 802.11ac.

No dropped packets though, a simultaneous internet video stream will not suffer during the drop, only the file download stops for 1-2 seconds?

Just got my laptop replacement rMBP 13" late 2013 today. It is exactly the same issue as before with the ping times ranging from 1 to 259ms.
