Random Signal Strength Drops I have a Macbook Air (Mid-2011) at home and a Verizon Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I router. Recently, I noticed that the internet got slower for about 10 sec. and went back to normal. I then opened Wifi Explorer to monitor the signal strength, and sure enough, I see a drop in the strength.

Also, sometimes when waking from sleep, the wifi icon indicates that it is searching for my network. I have to turn wifi off then on to let it reconnect. This problem has appeared on Mavericks and Mountain Lion after I downgraded.

I installed Windows 7 using Boot Camp. Strangely, it does not exhibit this problem.This leads me to believe that it is a Mac OS X problem. Anyone have any ideas?

I retract my earlier statement. It does exhibit this problem.
well sense you exhibit the same problem on your bootcamp suggest to two things. either one, its your hardware, or two your internet. your hardware can be testet quite easily, just find another wifi and try it out for a while. if it is your internet however, it gets a little more complex sense it can be your router, modem, or provider... so i would try another wifi first, then contact your provider
