The hoping 10.5.2 update (out today) will fix airport problems thread

I just lost my connection but something weird happened. I rebooted my router and right now as I type, it is still scanning my network and there is no lock symbol next to my network name. I don't think it fixed the problem. Has anyone else had something like this?
OS X is working better than Vista. At least with Vista I can throw the lousy wireless card on eBay and buy one from a better manufacturer.
the update fixed my airport issue. Basically on any unsecure network, it wouldnt connect to it at all, no matter how strong the signal was, but now everything is rolling smoothly. It still still didnt fix the issue with it taking a couple of minutes to wake from sleep, and then have choppy mouse cursor movements.
This is driving me crazy! Can nothing fix my problem?
An iBook running Panther across the house gets better connection that me right next to the router. Phones are on a different frequency, microwave isn't ever on...
Have a linksys wireless b router. It's old, but it works well for all computrs in the house except my MB. Should I replace the router? Or is Leopard known to be the sole issue?

Exactly the same problem i have. I am using 802.11.n to a D-Ling Dir-635 and it worked quite fine before the upgrade...
2.5 months ago I setup the following thread for those who were having wireless issues with Leopard and quite frankly myself and many others were hoping for 10.5.2 to finally fix it:

The cruel joke though is that NEW people have now got the problem thanks to this update while only a handful seem to have found success. So for those of you who have only started suffering from this problem I suggest a few things.
Firstly change the encryption setting on the router. Using WEP instead of WPA made a significant difference for me personally and no encryption made it even better.
Secondly, try changing the channel of the router (I think 11 is the default). This made large downloads possible for me, albeit at a much slower transfer rate than in Tiger or Windows.
Thirdly try the following steps:
If none of that makes a difference then continue to send details of your problem and the hardware you're using to Apple:

Good Luck
P.S. Shouldn't this thread be in the Mac OS X forum?
