1. Yup, automatic. 2. Physical connections all right, nothing changed there (about 1-2 feet). 3 & 4. Worked a lot faster wired. I got to thinking, though, since it worked so m…

I'm an avid iTunes buyer, and even with a 5MB connection to the internet, the store has become very intermittent. I click the store icon, and it loads 95% and then halts. Then it I…

Has anyone noticed a difference in the signal strength airport shows in the top bar after installing Tiger?

Nope. None on a 12" 1.5GHz.

my airport base station is downstairs. when i am downstairs i get full signal. in my room (up stairs, far away from the base station) i used to get about 2 bars. yesterday i not…

i posted a comment regarding this issue about a week ago in another thread also regarding airport reception... i personally have noticed increased signal strength (similar setup a…

Yes, they recalibrated the signal strength--I've seen it in multiple laptops with multiple wifi sources.

Definitely improved my airport reception on my Rev. C 15" PB

I understand its down to the fact that the icon is now showing signal quality not signal strength. An un scientific simplified example for a 100% signal, you don't have any noise…

12in Rev c 1.33 Powerbook and my reception has improved. I'm happy.

^ Same here, I get 4 bars all around the house, I used to get 2 bars in my room (the router is one floor beneath me).

remember your signal reception has not actually changed, the 4 bars are just showing something different now. only thing that really would increase your strength is an ext antenna…

Are you really sure it's a purely cosmetic enhancement? I've got some more bars too. But i've also got slightly increased transfer speeds. Example: Used to transfer stuff at ab…

Can't remember where I heard it, but I was told that the signal strength remains the same, but tiger helps to reduce noise, which is represented by more bars. In short, you should…

I get all 4 bars as opposed to 2. My AX is about 100 ft. away.

Signal strength has gone down for me. I'm 3m from a D-Link base station and getting 3 bars. With Panther I had full strength.

I used to barely be able to connect to a near-by AP with maybe one bar. Now it has full strength but I can not connect to it at all. Apple may have changed some of the baseband p…

i'm up to four bars everywhere in my house.

same. 4 bars everywhere.
