I have just installed windows 7 via bootcamp and installed the drivers from snow leopard. Everything works fine for the most part except the wireless. It never says that it has disconnected and downloads never seem to fail but when I am browsing it just wont load a page sometimes.

I have tried 3 browsers and all do it. I double check the URL to make sure that I havnt mistyped it but there is definately a problem here. It never happens when I am in OS X so I am thinking that its a driver issue.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? I cant seem to find any more up to date drivers for it. Its a 2.4ghz iMac with wireless n, 4gb ram.

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.
 
I had problems with Windows Vista on a Mac Pro.

The Wi-Fi was connected, but the signal strength was extremely varied which made browsing impossible. Trying to download on Steam was also a no-go. Everyone I asked couldn't figure it out, and to say it was annoying is an understatement.

Anyway, to cut a long story short it turns out that the drivers that were installed by default (e.g. the ones Microsoft auto-installed when Vista was put on) were crap.

I uninstalled the driver manually and pointed the Device Driver Manager to the OS X DVD (as it has all the drivers required to run Windows on the Mac). 10 minutes later and it was flawless.
