Ram the various commands in terminal which all seems to say they failed, rebooted and hey presto WiFi
Whilst researching I did see some reports stating that they were only getting slow speeds (5Mbps) and that's what I get on Speedtest, Download an Upload Speeds of just over 5Mbps compared to my Macbook sitting on the same AP - 31Mbps and 17Mbps - but hey its got WiFi and I remember 19Kbps
