Before updating to Tiger I was always getting 3 or 4 bars in the menu icon. Now I'm getting 2 and sometimes only 1. What happened? Has anyone else experienced this?

I have this problem at work - I'm using Panther.. I'm 2 meters away from the base station... yet i get 1 or zero bars... I didn't always be like this.stoid said:I'm practically right on top of the Airport Base Station as it is. It's not 8 feet from my laptop, on the otherside of a paper thin interior wall of my apartment. My roommate's PC laptop gets almost perfect signal and he's on the other side of the room further from the base station.

I used CNET and oddly enough, my speeds are 1.5-2x my speeds before. And I'm very sure my university didn't suddenly upgrade their wireless at the same time.swissmann said:My buddy says his range has about doubled. He can now surf in places he didn't have any reception before on campus.
Cless said:Just to let everyone know, a call to tech support revealed that we needed to zap the PRAM on our PowerBooks. Turned off the Airport cards, moved the System Preferences folder from the main library out to the Desktop, then shut down and started up holding the key combo. After Tiger booted, wireless worked fine. It was bizarre.
