Much is being said lately about these new Macbook Air with the already known problems that they are suffering in their Wi-Fi connections, with sporadic outages and many unhappy users returning the equipment so Apple engineers can study the cases.
After a short time since skip the "alarm" on the forums, It seems that Apple wants to solve this thorny issue as soon as possible. In Cupertino they believe that it is due to a software problem that is why they have already sent invitations to user groups to try a solution as a beta patch called "MacBook Air WiFi Update 1.0", to see if the problem is definitively solved.
Actually this type of solutions are designed to collect impressions of users who have it installedEven in the same log you can see how a bug reporting system has been integrated, although it does not specify whether it will be something automatic or will be more relevant to the user.
These new Macbook Airs are the first Macs to implement ac Wi-Fi technology, the fastest protocol available in wireless mode, which when combined with a compatible router such as the new Airport Extreme or Time Capsule, should reach theoretical limits of up to 1300 Mbps.
We have to remember that already in December 2012 a similar patch was released after the launch of the Macbook Pro Retina to improve the poor performance or compatibility that these computers had with Wi-Fi N networks in the 5 Ghz band, although not from a feedback program, but directly as an official patch.
Many times, integrating a completely new internal chipset architecture to the previous one causes problems to arise in the first units of the new models that are corrected over time. Although it seems wrong, I think it is the toll that sometimes has to be paid for having the last, the first.
