Just to add my experience... I have both an 800MHz 15" Tibook and a 12" 867MHz AlBook using AP and AP Extreme respectively. I live in a duplex apt with 6" concrete floors and cinder block walls. I can take these books to any part of the house, upstairs or downstairs and I have all the arcs showing full reception. I'm using a Belkin wireless router as the transmitter and everything has been functioning without drops or loss.
So IOW, it may not be a problem at all? I seem to recall reading something about these along time ago, in reference to something inside that gets dislocated that could cause poor reception too. Maybe the antenna? As I remember, you could put whatever it was back into the proper place and reception would be much improved. I think I might do some googling on this......
I had asked a similar question some time ago and what I gathered from the replies was that the airport issue was fixed with the 867/1000 Titanium iteration. Maybe also the 800 was mentioned but I think the problem still existed in the 667.
cheers, gianfranco
The airport range may have been improved in later models, but it is still crap in all ti-books. You can get acceptable reception by getting a third party wifi card with an external antennae.
