It's almost worse than being connected to a 56kbps dial-up modem! Dropped packets: sometimes, when loading a web page, part of the page will load, then the connection seemingly drops for 5-30 seconds, then finally, the rest of the page loads.This makes things like connecting to a remote server (either with SSH or via VNC or RDC) a painful experience, and causes some applications (like streaming video or VPN connections) to drop and reload, also contributing to the pain. Terrible latency: while sitting in one location, the Air might have ping times ranging from 30-4000ms, with many dropped packets.Here are some of the symptoms I and others have encountered: Judging by the number of individuals who have posted to this thread on Apple's Support Communities forum, among many other similar threads, I'm not the only MacBook Air owner suffering from WiFi issues like high latency, slow throughput, connection dropouts, and other random problems.

Update (3/4/14): Mac OS X 10.9.2 seems to fix at least the latency issue-and possibly dropped connections as well, at least for most users I've spoken with.
