Hi All,

I'm a recent switcher - MBP C2D. Out of the box I couldn't connect to several wireless routers. This was fixed with Airport Update 2007-001. I accepted the 2007-002 update last week without thinking, and now - zero connectivity. The update to OSX 10.4.9 made no difference. I've done an erase and install (no connectivity as I expected) and had intended to download Airport Extreme Update 2007-001 in the hope that it would do the trick for me again, but that update seems to have been removed from the Apple Website following the introduction of 2007-002 (there are plenty of old updates there - why remove this one entirely?).

Does anyone know where I might find the 2007-001 package? Or should I try 2007-002 again? There seem to be a wide range of experiences, from "vastly improved performance" to my own "where did my network go" - is it likely that the behaviour of my machine with 2007-002 will be different after this fresh install?

Overall I'm very impressed with the Mac, but it's a shame there's no ability to roll-back these updates to a previous state. I know I'm not the only user to experience such problems with Airport updates.

Thanks

Nigel

What you can do is install your original OS from the disks that came with your computer, and when you do the updates, uncheck the box for Airport Update 2007-002.

Hope that helps

Hi Nigel. Apple removes updates from the website when subsequent updates incorporate all of the fixes from the first one. They try to keep our lives simpler by not making us run a bunch of independent updates.

Airport Extreme Update 2007-02 includes all of the fixes from 2007-01, so try reinstalling that one.
