Apple invites some MacBook Air owners to test Wi-Fi fix
Selected owners of the new MacBook Air will try out an update designed to repair Wi-Fi connection problems, says 9to5Mac.
Apple is asking certain MacBook Air owners for help in resolving a Wi-Fi bug.
Released in early June, the new 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Airs come with the latest version of Wi-Fi, namely 802.11ac. However, some people who bought the new models have complained of lost wireless connections. After investigating the issue, Apple has been providing affected users with replacement Airs and now has a new fix ready for field testing.
MacBook Air owners invited to check out the MacBook Air WiFi Update 1.0 fix have received the following message, according to 9to5Mac:

Wi-Fi troubles aren't exactly uncommon for new Apple products. The iPhone and iPad have seen their share. The new MacBook Airs also represent Apple's first support of 802.11ac Wi-Fi in its notebook lineup.
