anarchy99 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 hello i had a dell 1390 in my acer (originally had 4965 intel not osx friendly) according to my ddwrt router the 1390 got a consistent 56% range to my wifi at the kitchen table (about 20ft away through the wall to the router) in comparison my ibook g4 at the same spot gets in the 30% range i bought a bcm94321mc apple airport card because i wanted 802.11n anyway its range at the same location was between 6-12% it is so weak it cant connect to the routers web gui let alone the internet and i double checked the antenna connectors are properly any idea why it wont work properly?

Trauma! Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hey, I have the same kind of connection problem too. I'm using a genuine Apple broadcom wifi n card (same chipset as the dell) in a laptop, and the reception is very bad too. In example, my other computers (Mac/Hack/Pc) receive the signal just fine where this card don't. I've thought about connection too, but swapping to another wifi card fixed the problem (in the same place/computer).

anarchy99 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 so the card basically licks balls when it comes to reception?
