    All is well over here with the 3.4.1 update. Now I can finally dig into those Airport Management Tools.

    ...on my 900MHz iBook G3 12". Better reception that 3.4 it seems, but I didn't suffer a major hit to signal when upping to 3.4.

    A great way to check your strength is MacStumbler which also has some tasty war driving applications if you're so inclined.

    With 3.4, I was getting a signal of as low as 81 in my room in some places (as far as 30 feet from my router), and now with 3.4.1 I'm above 100 everywhere in the room. Rock!
