[QUOTE="sonicwind, post: 685735, member: 60167"] Is there anyway to adjust the Airport card (internal mini-pci wifi card) in terms of transmission strength and power settings. In Windows in the hardware setup there is always a setting to control how the system handles power management (options for more aggressive power savings vs more aggressive signal strength) for the internal wireless card. Is there a plist or some place to manually set this on the MacBook in OSX? I've got my MacBook sitting right next to my brother's Dell and his notebook gets "Excellent" strength connecting to a wifi router and my macbook gets between nothing and very low in the same spot. I have to assume this is because the hardware setting for the card is not providing full strength. Anybody know how to override whatever default settings OSX is configuring to force full power all the time? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
