fixing AirPort Extreme performance woes

Jon — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:46:38 +0000

PROTIP if your AirPort Extreme has abysmal performance regardless of position or settings try giving it a factory default reset.

I have one that has gone through probably 4-5 in-place firmware upgrades over the last few years and somewhere along the way started to provide horrible downstream throughput to clients. No amount of troubleshooting on my part could get it to work correctly. After giving it a reset its back to working as expected – yay for WiFi faster than dial-up.

Specifying a custom BIOS for VMware Fusion / Workstation

Jon — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 18:35:38 +0000

Since I can never remember the setting here is how to specify a custom BIOS for use with a VMware Fusion / Workstation VM.

Add the following line to the .vmx file for the VM:

bios440.filename = "mycustombios.rom"

And place the rom file inside the VM folder.
