Just installed the latest airport update. I'm on the 2nd floor and have a linksys 54G wireless router on the 1st floor. Before, my powerbook airport extreme card got about 30% signal at best... After installing the latest update, it now shows I am picking up 100% signal?
My wireless connection does *seem* to be better... but I'm not sure if this is for real or some bug now, but if it is for real, yeah for Apple finally getting it right (airport connections to non-airport networks that is)

I found a little better reception with the update as well. Not quite as much as I needed. Though, I do feel a bit more encouraged about getting an antenna. Now, if only I could find an omni-directional that easily hooks up to my ibook, I'd be set.

I noticed that the reception bars went from 3 to 4 bars after the update. Unfortunetly, after launching iStumbler I saw that the signal is no stronger. It seems to be a superficial improvement.
