Apple Offers Update to Recent AirPort Update

Posted by pudge on from the please-to-be-fixing-problems dept.

Milanek writes "Apple has released new version of AirPort Update 3.4.1 which solves problems introduced by the last AirPort update, 3.4." A great many people complained about lower signal strength after the 3.4 update last week.

  1. The drop in signal strength was worrisome by ObviousGuy · · Score: 5, Funny

    The lack of signal strength was causing some severe crashes here and there. It's good to have both NLS and GlideSlope back up to working levels, because without them it's virtually impossible to let the system auto-handle itself (requires extensive manual control to get it to work correctly when those two utilities are down).

    Good work to Apple, and don't let it happen again!

    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!
