rMB Wifi???

[Phightinphils]

Anyone else experiencing wifi issues? Mine seems to be sporadic and I don't believe it's the router/network given the fact that all other wireless products in the house work fine. I have 3 bars, but cannot send iMessage/use the web.

Sounds like something else is going on. Are you on 5ghz or 2.4? May want to try switching over. Funny I can be sitting 4 feet from the router on my iPhone and it gets 5 bars on 2.4 and only 3 bars on 5 ghz. I think it's the whole higher-frequency = lower penetration, but still, jeez, that's finicky.

Absolutely no trouble on 2.4 or 5 gHz here, but I don't have any trouble with any of my other Macs on 10.10. However, there are a lot of people with wifi problems on all kinds of Macs, so I am not surprised (but still disappointed) that the rMB would have the same issues.

I run a Cisco 1702 AP in the basement of my house with internal antennas. I'm able to use wifi on the second level of the house without issue. I also connect at 500-600Mbps via 802.11ac on the first level. Wifi works quite well on the Macbook.
