The latest MacBook Airs may be having some issues with their Wi-Fi connections, per Gizmodo’s reading of the Apple discussion forums. Many people who picked up one of the updated MacBook Airs within the last few days claim that the computers will drop their connection after a minute or two and are unable to reconnect until the computer is restarted.

At this month's WWDC, Apple announced the refreshed MacBook Airs, which now sport Haswell processors and 802.11ac-capable Wi-Fi adapters. Gizmodo speculates that the antenna for this adapter is buried inside the plastic strip in the MacBook Air’s hinge, where it apparently might not be getting enough breathing room.

At least one user attests that his connection drops every 15 to 30 minutes, but it can be fixed by turning the Wi-Fi off and on again. Another says his drops when he tries to download particularly big files. A number of the commenters in the thread are struggling with the on/off Wi-Fi toggle. Gizmodo suggests that the problem is worse when the computer is sitting on a desk.

Our new MacBook Air is in the hands of Senior Product Specialist Andrew Cunningham, and he has yet to experience this issue. But if you are a new MacBook Air owner suffering from unstable Wi-Fi, apparently you are not alone.
