A message says that the MBA has an IP address, but the that internet service is not available. I do, then, get an IP address, but no access to the Internet. I choose one of the connections and enter the wifi password. There, AirPort scans the location and identifies some wifi connections available to the public. However, I am unable to connect in a public spot I usually frequent, even though other people with MBs and MBP can (they might not be on 10.6 yet, I did not check).

I programmed it to recognize the MBA through its mac number. I need to do some more testing and I guess traveling to pin down some of these things but I wanted to share what I have found thus far, but I definitely think there is a problem with the wifi on the new MacBook Air's.įYI, my new 13 in MBA works fine at home with an "older" model of Airpot extreme Base Station (the flying saucer) with the "g" draft specs. I have found that a power down and reboot AFTER attaching to the network (but not getting the internet connection) will then give me a steady and consistent connection.
Again I can connect to the browser, in most cases get what appears to be a valid IP but not gain any internet access. With these networks I have found that turning the airport on/off and refreshing the IP address does not work. These networks I can generally find and attach to them but not get a consistent internet connection. I travel a lot so I hit a lot of guest networks which are almost always "g". This also I think resolves the "is it an ISP" issue, since they are distinctly different ISP's and these both work perfectly. I have never had an issue with my Airport Extreme at my house or my Dad's Linksys at his house which is also an N. I think if it is a "N" network it seems to work fine. Based on the messages posted here and my experience here is where I am.
I can confirm that there are some wifi issues with the Macbook Air.
I have had five or six other Mac laptops in the past five years including the original air. I am about two weeks in to my new Macbook Air and love it except for the wifi.
