Leopard's wireless unstable?

Does anyone else find wireless internet unstable when using leopard?

Sorry guys-i'm going to get hated for this but leopard sucks right now I have found 3 issues with it that I know to be a programming issue. It will get better, but in time.

Couldn't say. First it didn't work at all (there's been an update for it already!), now it just works perfectly.

well-I seriously hope they come out with an update that will fix my issue soon! I can't even use it. I am very dissapointed in Apple for putting out a OS that still has obvious issues. I mean, if you have a little usuability issue, thats one thing since its a very limited market that may do that and they probably weren't part of the beta testers.

However, how can you put a product where quite obvious features don't work onto the market? I can't even use Leopard.

I have and have not: on my home WLAN, Leopard claims about a time out when it tried to login to the router. But at work (the same MacBook Pro) I actually get better signal, and no login problems.

I have being thinking on buying Apple's Airport Extreme. How does it work with Leopard?

Wireless is the same if not better on a pure-G network.

I did read somewhere something about "interface robustness" not being the same in the Leopard wireless connection.

However I do not know if this is the cause, nor - quite honestly - what kind of robust magic it supposedly does.

Maybe woth a look, anyone heard this also..?
