Just got it. It should be available now. Total of 15 updates as of today at noon and I already had all of the updates available as of yesterday. That is a very very good thing. Let's hope they are all for the better.

I have an Apple Airport Extreme 802.11ac wireless router at home and am only connecting at a max of speed of 72Mbps (usually closer to 11Mbps if I'm more than 20 feet away from the WAP). I have two other 802.11ac laptops at home (Samsung AB9+ and rMBP) and my two other computers are connecting up at 800Mbps+ and pulling down the same on Internet speed tests; yes, I have real GigE connectivity. Is anyone else having these problems?

2014-07-09T01:49:38+00:00 If you refer to my previous post, you'll see I previously had an internet upload speed problem with the 5G WiFi interface.
I can report that after the 7/8 update, my 5G upload speed now matches the 2.4Ghz upload speed, as originally expected.
I am initially pleased, but will report any more test results.

2014-07-10T01:40:35+00:00 I got a firmware update today after all the other windows updates from yesterday and it seemed promising but still after a few hours of use the WiFi degraded to the point I had to reboot several times.
One thing I have noticed is that it gets worse as the battery drains more. if the battery is at less than 20% the PC has a lot of problems maintaining the WiFi connection. if the battery is over 70% the WiFi connection is stable for a while longer.
So as of right now they have NOT solved it. We can wait again until the 16th to see if they solve it then.
