Anyone NOT have wireless problems with leopard??

I hate to pile on here, but I have had no problems on my iMac (Alu 2.4Ghz C2D), or my MBP (2.2 Ghz C2D) (or my PowerBook G4 before that) on my AEBS at home or on the Linksys router at work.

No special settings for either (except that I do have Back To My Mac enabled on my AEBS and Macs).
 
No problems here. :) I mean, my Netgear router is a PoS that needs to be reset every 3-5 days and hates my DS, but my Mac connects best of the 3.5 wireless enabled objects in the house (followed by my old XP laptop whose wireless card is now borked - hence the half - and the XP PC with the matching Netgear wireless card which frequently causes the system to hang if left on too long).
 
this is my keychain settings....

its not only the network settings but the keychain Control Access settings too, in keychain go to your keychain app>double click on your system keychain and you should have your wireless network there or in your user or login section, the following files should be in the list in the access control tab: system preferences, airport, systemUiserver, apple80211Agent mainly. Also in your network setting under the proxies tab in the field called:bypass proxies for these domains and fields, you should have the name of your computer: your computer name,169.254/16. also in the sharing pane the name of your computer must be registered in the field required.
If your keychain is only in your system section find a way of copying it over to your user section and your login section, so its in the three sections, if you cant drag it over just make one manually and input the same information as much as you can.

people perhaps have not tried changing the the channel in the wireless router, which does seem to help in a lot of cases.

It didn't help for me, I've changed the channel on my router at least 3 times in the last few days. It hasn't made any difference.
 
interesting - i don't have that Apple80211 thingy.

Where can i get old of it? I can't find it when i search for it in spotlight

Also i didn't have access for SystemPrefs but i added that in.

Now i allow access by AirPort, SystemUISever and System Preferences.
 
Perfect connection with our MB and iMac. No drops at all, Linky router.

Heck we can even connect to our neighbors router just fine and maintain that connection (though they don't know it yet LOL)

But seriously, no drop offs no nothing, working just fine.
 
i'm so happy for everyone with solid connections. seriously. thats great. really super.
 
My machines . . .

Aluminum iMac (24 in 2.4ghz)
old 1 ghz G4 iBook

. . . have had no wireless problems using a cheapo 802.11g Belkin router or an Airport Express. I just updated the iBook, so I haven't had a chance to test it on any public wifi yet.

Both are running 10.5.2. Didn't have any problems with 10.4.11 either.

By the way, Leopard isn't nearly the dog I expected it to be (pardon the animal analogy) on the iBook, which has just 768MB of RAM. The Spaces feature makes using that tiny 12-inch screen a lot more tolerable.

So you asked the question, got responses, then fire out a sarcastic reply like that. Way to go.

And for a second I almost felt sorry for your connection issues.

Actually, that's exactly what you DID ask for in the title of your post...

Have you tried creating a new account to see whether the problems carry over? Maybe it's a hardware issue, since most people seem to not have a problem.
 
right i've restored a com.apple.airport.preferences.plist file from way back in my Time Machine (finally have a use for this thing), it might even be one from 10.5.1 - and guess what! - *Drum Roll* - things seem a bit better!

Getting a bit sick of holding my internet connection together with sticky tape, though.
 
I don't know what you are talking about. I just turn on the airport card and select my network, not a problem.
 
Other than Keychain always forgetting my school's 802.1X, no troubles here. (My signal's usually fine once I'm connected.) Only happens at school; remembers my home network just fine. No drops, though.
 
both...

both the systemUIserver and the Apple80211Agent are located in HD>System>library>coreservices. I wil post my settings tonight, gotta go to work right now! ciao
 
Are you using a Macbook Pro?

I am, and I'm having wireless dropouts as well. My wife has a regular Macbook running 10.5.2 also, and its wireless works great. I would like to know the solution as well.
 
Bought an AEBS and Macbook in January and haven't had a single issue with it.

cheers. I've added those in and it seems to be better. The password in my keychain is under "system" rather than "login" - does this matter?
