True enough, I should have been clearer, they were the early aibooks, again there was a lot of metal in the building, but when I had my ibook at work (not often enough to reliably compare) I did not have the same connection problems.

The two times I had one of the aibooks home the connection was solid, but didn't really do much roaming.

Also would wireless "b" vs "g" have any effect on signal strength/connectivity/range?

regards,

At work we were using Powerbooks, and had a hard time keeping a signal (Could also have been due to all the metal in the building).


One, the original Titanium Powerbooks had problems, the aluminum ones have redesigned antennae and do not.

While I have been using an iBook for over a year now and I am getting too many signals now, All the apartments in my daughters complex, across the street. And at my home (three story house) I can go to any room (plus the basement) and get a signal as well as to my neighbors house or yard.


Two, signal reception is very environment dependent. You are talking about three very different environments. the only way to reliably compare would be to use the same systems at the same place.
