What would a new OS launch be without a few hiccups?<\/p>\n

I experienced a Wi-Fi issue on my 2008 iMac wherein Mountain Lion’s Wi-Fi connection gets really slow… dial-up slow.\u00a0Restarting the modem and Airport router didn’t fix it. Only plugging in direct via ethernet fixed the issue.<\/p>\n

I checked online and there’s only a smattering of posts with people discussing the issue. Either it’s not widespread or people haven’t noticed it yet.<\/p>\n

One post in an Apple Discussion mentions that they took their laptop to an Apple Genius and they fixed it, but they couldn’t see what the genius did.\u00a0Maybe Apple will issue an update in the future, or maybe there’s something quick an easy that fixes it.<\/p>\n

We’ll look into it more and let you know if we come up with anything to fix this Wi-Fi slowdown issue with Mountain Lion.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
