I had the MX900. I used it with my 15" Powerbook G4. It was wonderful. Over time however the connection got worse and worse to the point it was basically non-functional. I assume it was the proliferation of 2.4ghz wifi and the early bluetooth being unable to cope.

Another possibility: USB-3 proliferation and inadequate shielding. Many 3 devices spew so much 2.4ghz noise that it interferes with wifi, much less lower power protocols.

Unless you mean it degraded on the same device.
