Anyone with WIFI problems with the rMBP?

Losing/Dropping connection to router?
Had some problems and with 2-3 different networks so it seems to be problems with the computer..

Any experience to share?
 
I have had mine for about a week. I have had no problems at all.
 
Yea I was just coming here to see if anyone else is having the same issue :eek:

It's getting to be quite unbearable... especially if you work online 100% of the time. If you turn wifi off and on again it seems to solve the issue temporarily. Also other people in the house didn't have an issues when I was. I'm going to stop into the Apple store tomorrow and see if they can diagnose it further.

**edit** tried disabling bluetooth, no difference.

Some output from terminal...
tl;dr 29.3% packet loss

Code:
... good pings above here

It seems like rebooting every 5hrs or so is working for the time being
 
I have not had this issue with my rMBP, but I did experience a similar issue with my Mid-2010 MBP. I can't remember exactly what I did, but I can remember setting up "Locations" under Network in System Profiler, and checking wireless interference etc.

I did have issues with Bluetooth on my rMBP and sent it off for repair, and they replaced the AirPort card (bluetooth and WiFi) and now its working flawlessly.
