AIR drop-outs - Mac OS X

[Eddye]

Ah - interesting - I've now installed an Edimax EW-7811UN 150 Mbps 802.11b/g/n USB adapter, costing about £7.50. With the MacBook Pro's internal AirPort wi-fi adapter disabled, I can run AIR over the USB wi-fi adapter (in my configuration this is just the link between the MBP and router; the Devialet has a wired connection). This has run without drop-outs for over 11 hours and counting. By contrast, I've never seen more than about three hours with the internal adapter.

So it looks as though my drop-out problem is specific to the MBP's internal AirPort adapter.

Anyway, it's nice to have a usable work-around.

That's really interesting. Did or can you test with another type of mac (a mini or a different macbook)? Perhaps it's just one type of card, or perhaps the entire range of cards Apple uses in their PC's/Laptops
