MacBook Pro Wifi Problems

Why does wifi suck on my brand new, $3,000, dual boot MacBook Pro? I’ve been on five or six different wifi networks and most of them can’t connect and go from fast to slow in some random pattern.

You’ll sit there waiting for five tabs to load in Firefox for 90 seconds and nothing… then BANG! they all load in four seconds.

I see there is a long thread over at Apple support about it… what is the story!??! How could apple ship a new product like this–with a huge price tag–and have the wifi suck?!

Very frustrating to have a Ferrari that stalls half the time… Steve Jobs where are you!?!?

    I struggled about 2 weeks and finally got the issue last night.
    Looks like there’s DNS issue on your MacBook.
    I recorded how I fixed the problem in my BLOG, hope it help you too.

    I have the same issue. After “upgrading” to 10.5.6, wifi speed plummeted so that it is pretty much unusable. Downloads also just stop which is frustrating. This is a MBP with 2.4 GHz Core 2 and 4GB of RAM. I know it is the laptop as every other device I connect to on the network runs VERY fast and it has been repeated over multiple networks.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.
