Apple Inc. has recently launched
the latest version of its Mac OS X operating system and has sold already more
than 2 million of copies of the software. Leopard has become a hit even before
landing on the tech stores’ shelves. But, the people who have already bought
Leopard have also started to use it, which is obvious. And unfortunately a
number of more or less important problems have been already reported.
According to the posts from Apple
Inc.’s support forums it appears that the Mac users have started to report a
number of problems with their wireless connections after they have updated to
Leopard. The users are mainly describing one issue as a steadily degrading
wireless link from their newly upgraded Macs.
"When you connect to your
wireless network, your transmit rate will be 54 (if you're using the 54g
standard).” – someone has posted on a forum, adding further that "If you
start up a download or something that occupies your bandwidth (even LAN
traffic), you will notice that the transmit rate drops to 11, then to 3, then
to 1 until finally your downloads will drop, your iChat connections will fail
and your browser will not load pages." So it seems that little by little
the wireless connections are slowly dieing under the Leopard’s ruling. Many
other users have already confirmed the same symptoms, as “The connection is
worse than dial-up.”, as some other person has said.
Till yesterday, Apple hasn’t
posted any support documentation addressing the recent problem and hasn’t’
either provided a fix.
