Greetings all,
I got my GF a macbook in Feb 08, so it is a 2.0 GHz model running OSX 10.5.2 Being a gift, she just opened it up and right off the bat we are having poor wireless connections. Sitting right next to her with a Dell laptop, I can get great speeds but the macbook will be chugging along at dial up speeds both off the battery and plugged in. It happens when the Dell isn't running next to it also, so it isn't due to interference from that computer. BTW, it has an Airport Extreme broadcom card.
I have done some searching on the apple forums and there are a lot of threads from people with the same issue and I was curious if anyone over here has seen the same. Doing a few searches didn't bring anything up over here. I am unfamiliar with the OS X and have been stumbling around unsuccessfully trying to find software updates and what not. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. The apple forums....well not to bash them but they aren't too helpful.
There was one solution that I saw and tried that involved deleting an airport file in the library but that didn't help any. Thanks!
