Hi,
I installed a genuine Windows 7 Ultimate on my recently bought Macbook Pro 15" i7 then am facing a lot of troubles.
I normally try to work out myself with google, but this time nothing seems to solve the problem after 5 hours of self troubleshooting.
The problem I have is on the wireless instability. The router is staying in a same position as well as my Macbook, but the signal bar changes between 2-5 a lot. It's only 8 feet away and I'm not sure how this is happening? The problem is that it affects the speed and sometimes drops the connection then appears after a minute or so.
A noticeable problem is when I try to join servers through games, especially source engine games such as Counter Strike: Source, TF2 or HL2: Deathmatch, it completely drops the connection and the wireless network list doesn't show up the router even when another laptop right beside me is using it without any troubles.
Sometimes, I succeed to join a server, but when the server tries to change a map then the same symptom arises.
My bootcamp version is 3.1, installed all possible Windows 7 updates, and am not running any firewall nor any type of network security application. It wouldn't matter but I would like to make people informed that all the ports required for network activities on those games are open to my local IP.
It would be really great if anyone can help. Thank you.
