Dan A. notes that AirPort 1.3.1, now available for download using the Software Update control panel in Mac OS 9.x, provides "increased functionality and compatibility" for Apple's wireless networking products.

Ap 1.3, in my basement I get about 1/3 to 1/2 signal strength.
Having not moved an inch but installing AP 1.3.1 I am up to 2/3 signal strength.
Who cares what the signal strength REPORTS, does it actually increase your bandwidth? Or can you actually connect from somewhere you couldn't before?
1.3.1 is a big improvement ! I used to hang for minutes (and even crash) whenever I opened the TCP/IP control panel, and especially the AppleTalk control panel under 1.3.
Now I can swap configurations quickly without incident !
Hooray !
Is Wavelan card support implemented?
To get this number, Turn on Balloons, and put your mouse over the AirPort Control Strip Module.

Well, I have a blue and white g3 350. Pre Airport enabled Mac. I purchased a farallon skyline card with pci adapter and an airport station. Wanted it because my pc laptop from work had a lucent wireless card. Since I do not have a airport card I cannot update with the software control panel. Sort of lame.....
I have os x installed on my other disk but I don't think there are any skyline drivers for os x. So, I'm stuck on os 9.1 for the moment. Really would like to goto 10! Code faster please.
Any suggestions. I don't see a software download at Apple's homepage.
When is a new cheaper airport with a bigger range coming out? I want one but am not about to drop $400 for it.
ive been using airport 1.3 with out a hitch since it was introd. but like most of these things the performance varies from computer to computer. but all i can say is that its cool, but id like them to add a feature to see how much transfer raTES YOUR GETTING. the remote access control panel had a nice little thing that did this to show you if it as doing anything, can we please have this in airport?
apart from this airport is brilliant!

It Works!
AP 1.3 drove me to depair with endless -3278 hangs and crashes. As soon as I restared after installing 1.3.1 I could tell the difference. I've tried several simple things that would bring 1.3 to its knees, such as putting my PoweBook to sleep with IE open, openning FileSharing or the AppleTalk control panel, and 1.3.1 just keeps on ticking.
