2013 MBA wifi issues

[Doownn]

i also encountered the same wifi problem with rmbp. not a happy camper with rmbp too coz of wifi problem. my friend also had the same problem but to work around the issue, he is suggesting me to get a wireless usb adapter. maybe can try with mba too.

Just got a MBA 13" today from Challenger and after connecting it to my router, the WiFI issues showed up. Wifi disconnects every few minutes and says no internet connection. Run network diagnostics halfway thru and it'll resolve itself and say internet seems to be working fine. It'll repeat many times, especially when downloading large files too. Annoyed cos it's my first mac and such a thing happened!

Currently using G awaiting fibre next mth but shouldn't the MBA have no problem w older gen infra since its so established?
Or is my logic in the wrong direction and that its really the settings?

sad to hear that you're having Wifi problems on your MBA.

At least you discovered early. Take back to Apple support (or rather call them). I believe they have orders from top to collect MBAs with such problems for analysis, so they will do a 1 to 1 exchange with you.

unless u can wait for apple to come out a fix

And repeat the cycle once again...?

Lol... maybe its the WiFi channel or encryption that's the issue. Change how many times still the same.

I would say bring the MBA and router to the shop (if bought in shop) and test it infront if the reseller to show the issue. U don need an internet connection to test for stability with the router.
