Use a cable.I lose WiFi on my iMac occasionally and my older airport extreme is 3' away from the machine.
Whatever the case with the Airs, I hope this AppleSeed beta will fix the problem for everyone.
Problem solved.
You're welcome.

Is this a sign Apple is going to move to "WiFi"? Where's the hyphen?

Sounds like they're testing a firmware update that would be separate from the generic update. And with all the myriad of routers out there being used there's bound to be problems considering the new 802.11ac
How about the notion that I'm not spending over a grand and then finding out that I can't move my machine more than 3 ft from a wired router. It's not a misconception. It's called I paid good money, and I expect the product to be completely functional in all major areas, wifi being prob. the most major of them. Not to mention, how am I gonna access the internet at school, in a cafe etc. where there's no access to a wired router (in the case of macbooks)?2nd that.
I don't understand the misconception that instability issues of even the latest wifi ever trump the reliability of a fixed connection one achieves with a 3' patch cable. If you're just being curious that's understandable i just want to know.
I have the new air, but retured the new AC AirPort Extreme. It was not compatable with my 2 express's for iTunes.
As far as the wifi is concerned, I haven't noticed a problem yet. But I do wonder why apple has constant issues and complaints with basically every device that make with wifi.
So all the Air Users are beta testers?
I guess I have to ask myself as Apple has done recently.
"Does this deserve to exists"?

What's coming?
What's unbelievable?
Really, these posts are useless. If you have a viewpoint, express it for goodness sake.
Aluminum. Screws up the wifi contact.

They didnt have a damn thing to say. They just posted something in an attempt to be the 'first' poster, which apparently in their worthless lives, means something.
And now it pops up again. Makes me really doubt that it's something about this current chipset or driver - more of a fundamental design problem in the MBA (bad antenna placement? bad WiFi power supply?).

I already do.
I returned the 2012 MBA I bought a few months back because it had exactly this same problem. Looking on the web I found I wasn't alone - bad WiFi connectivity has plagued previous models. (Oh, and for the benefit of the apologists - I have a 100% Apple WiFi setup at home).

I won't be buying an MBA again - I just don't trust the engineering in this range.
I'm sorry, are you seriously suggesting not using WiFi, a major function in today's computing needs, and using a cable for a direct connection on a ~$1500+ iMac (which requires a USB - Ethernet adapter for the MacBook Air)? Let's just move all our systems next to our routers and connect them directly, cause "it just works". I thought I had seen it all on here.
