[QUOTE="msivers, post: 1441234, member: 269802"] It's interesting to hear that The Airport Extreme was so much better... I have had similar experience with my MacBook Pro w/ Retina. I have a SumVision router (UK) and experience very slow wifi speeds and regularly drops out of internet connectivity even though the WiFi signal is still full and connected at 144mbits... All other devices (iPhone, iPad, AppleTV, XBOX, my wife's iPad, iPhone and her older white MacBook (Snow Leopard), have great connectivity and we can watch a number of video feeds on different devices with no lag (router reports 10MB downstream and 1.3MB upstream internet connection). It is only my MacBook Pro w/ Retina that has problems. Having done lots of searches for clues I have heard reports of the new MacBook Pros (inc. Retina) having issues with the Bluetooth interfering with Wifi signal, also Intel have published white papers on USB 3 equipped laptops causing problems with onboard wifi chipsets ([url=http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/universal-serial-bus/usb3-frequency-interference-paper.html]USB 30* Radio Frequency Interference on 24 GHz Devices[/url]). I have not had a chance to test my machine at my home yet but will test my wifi performance with the bluetooth turned off and also will try playing with the router channel selection. I will also test if having my USB3 hard drive linked up effects wifi performance. I'll post any observations... If none of this resolves the issue then I guess it would be worthwhile purchasing Apple's Airport Extreme! :Confused: [/QUOTE]
