Hello, all -
I wanted to alert MacRumors users and others to a serious problem with the 2011 MacBook Airs, as well as other later-model MBPs, according to reports, Lion and, according to my testing, networks requiring authentication.
The symptoms include the Air having serious latency issues, losing connectivity and hanging and even failing on lookup when loading web pages, retrieving/checking/sending mail - essentially, anything that requires sending or receiving data over the Internet.
I have detailed my own odyssey here, including the copious testing I've done try to determine the nature of the problem, and there is another lengthy thread here.
I have seen no official responses nor acknowledgments from anyone at Apple; I suppose my next step could be to call Apple Support and get a ticket going to document this with them. Frankly, I'm exhausted from the 50+ hours of troubleshooting and research I've already done on this issue, and would prefer to just forward them a link to the discussion page with the question, "Now what?"
Looking for others who've had similar problems to chime in. Thanks.
