Mac Airport update
 

it's not just you - the apple airport update 3.4 is rotten to the core. If you've used software update in the alst 2 weeks updated and are having range problems, IP problems, or firewall problems, you can uninstall the update by following the direction at this site:

It pays to be lazy. :)

Apple has been prompting me to update for months. Juuuuuust haven't gotten around to it.

No problems here......
Airport Extreme.

it covers airport extreme as well. That's what i have on my G4 powerbook, and it completely jacked up my connection.

12" G4 RevA here and I didn't notice anything with the change whatsoever..

When my son got his (*)&)()& Macintosh, I decided to get a wireless router so that I could hook his computer into the network. I consider the Airport, for about 1 second, before buying a wireless/wired router from Linksys for less than half the price.

i'm running the d-link here, and the update went wacky on my side. It's a card software problem, not a base software problem.

heya, only noticing decreased range
 

Hello!

The range appears to be a bit decreased. I agree. Now I get one bar where I got two with the WAPs in my neighborhood.

The airport may beexpensive but it is damn nice and dead easy to administer.

Apple just released 3.4.1 which aparantly addresses these issues.

I can now get back some of the range :)
 

Heya,

I have 3.4.1 here on my PBG4 and it gives me back the range I need.

Now if it had an external antenna connector :)

I thought all models had one?

apparently not mine
 

The 12" I have here doesn't. It's got an internal antenna, which is quite good.

Ohhh you mean the PB, i thought you meant the base station.
