MacBook Core 2 Duo Wifi: airport Exreme Update 2007-001 fix!!

Can confirm that this update fixed very serious problems with our wireless which uses WPA Enterprise authentication.

We have successfully tested on two affected MacBook C2D 10.4.8 systems. The update has fully resolved the problems on these systems and reliable connections can now be made immediately.

Apple recommends the update for all Intel Mac users.

The AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001 update is available via Software Update or by download from:

PowerMac Dual G5, MacBook C2D, G4 Xserve + more Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Funny, my MacBook does not connect to my wireless network after the upgrade,
can I undo an upgrade?

Mine worked perfect before the upgade and now has problems. wep off it connects, otherwise it errors with passwords. Anyway to undo the update?
(works perfect in xp still)

The MacFixIt suggestion didn't work for me.

Same thing. I turned off my WEP wireless security and now it works fine. Obviously this is only a temporary fix because I would like to have my wireless signal secure.

I talk to a friend that works at apple and apperently their working on the fix right now, should be out tomorrow or Sunday

The 802.11n update did not fix the wi-fi connectivity problems on my C2D Macbook.

I still have to reboot the router every single time the computer comes back from sleep, or I get an intermittent connection.

Wi-fi works perfectly on Windows XP, tho. (what a shame)

I phoned apple and after a few vain attempts it was a complete archive and install. Preferences turned off.
I am using the XP machine to reply to this post.

The 2007-001 Airport upgrade did more harm than good for me. Internet has slowed down noticeably and more difficult than ever to stream music to Airport. I assume it's because I cycle between a drop in the connection and a reconnect more often since the install.

I was better off before and would gladly undo the upgrade if I knew how - not that it worked well before but it is clearly worse now.

This is interesting. My C2D worked perfectly before the update, and works perfectly still. I use a D-Link Wireless G 614. I have been delighted with it. Furthermore, my Dell laptop has many dead spots in my house, but my Mac has great reception everywhere. I wish you all luck. I don't know why mine works so well!

This update not worked for me, before it everything worked great, but now my computer wont connect to the internet, i dont know if is a problem with the password, cause it says thats is wrong, i dont know what to do, how can undo the update?

Well this update hasn't solved a single thing for me. Actually no, it has the only difference is that my MacBok will connect to the network on startup now.

The only way I can connect my MacBook is if all other Macs on the Network are switched off. I mean the other Macs I have, have to be powered down.

Then the MacBook can access the internet BUT only if I am well away from the Airport base station. It doesnt seem to like being anything LESS, (yes less) than 10 foot from the unit or it won't find it. If I sit next to the unit...even put my MacBook ontop of it, well, no good.

Isn't that weird?

I also snigger at Apples attempts to pretend there isnt a problem (they have denied on around 8 occassions to me on the phone) and now release an update quietly in the hopes it will all go away. I dont enjoy their policy of denial after having gone through the whole Logic Board problem with my iBook.

Here's hopeing they try again....or maybe they want me to buy the New Airport Express next week on release to solve my problems?...is it a money making ploy? Who knows as long as they sort it and I dont have to pay for it.

After the update I could no longer connect wirelessly to my 2Wire modem, unless I turned off WEP encryption. Fortunately, I live on a mountain among trustworthy neighbors. Hopefully, Apple will fix this bug ASAP.

I didn't have any issues pre upgrade, and I still don't. I have noticed that I don't seem to be getting any more "beacon miss" messages in the system log, although they didn't seem to cause any problems before. WEP enabled networks do seem to be a common theme among folks that are having issues though. Personally, I don't understand why people would use WEP, when WPA is available. Cryptanaylsis has show WEP to be practically worthless.

What kind of wireless router do you have?

Plugues, you do realize that this was NOT the 802.11n upgrade right? Apple hasn't released that yet and is going to charge $1.99 for the upgrade when they do.
