    Hey All,

    I haven't toyed around with OSX much because my connection is terrible to my router. It shows full signal strenth but as I browse with Safari or a share it suddenly chokes.

    Anyone know how to update the drivers on it?

    Thanks.

    If there were updates for your MacBook it would be in software update.

    You may need to update your routers firmware, or your router could be dieing.

    Try placing this as your DNS server 4.2.2.2

    Router is latest and works great in Windows. Will try the DNS as soon as I am done checking the yellowish tint issue on new MBPs.

    Looks like updates broke it and tons of people have been complaining about it for months. So far I am not impressed at all with Apple's speed to release a fix, or software quality. I am going to end up putting linux on this if Apple doesn't fix the basic issues I am running into.

    If you have a new N wireless MPB do you run into this problem?
