So they've pulled the update, but I've already installed it.
That gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside...

I now cannot get into my Airport. The program loads but says something about a different password. I've always used the same password and have never had a problem getting into the Airport.
I need to investigate a little further.

The update can't be pulled, i tried it via software update and I'm downloading it right now.
But if you don't see me for a while you'll know why as well!

LOL, yes.
It _was_ pulled, though. And not only that, first they used one name, and a file at more than 10 mb. Next, they let people download a much smaller file with a different name. Then pulled both.
If it's back now, it just means they put one of them up again, not that they never were pulled.
does not resolve the dropping wireless issues in 10.5.2 for macbook.
is that supposed to be one of the fixes?
(for others, i find my connection doesn't drop when i have a torrent program running doing low speed U/L. perhaps something about keeping the connection active)

check your console logs and also your router logs right when the disconnection occurs. i found my macbook pro kept shooting off deauthentication packets (disconnecting it) until the driver was fixed in 10.5.2. the update that fixed my machine might have broke other kinds of machines.
hope this helps.
yup does this to me also still.
does the Time Capsule do OK with AirDisk ?....As in fewer problems, I actually need to restart my Airport Extreme (not gigabit) every couple days it seems like. usually I can just do a soft restart using Airport Admin Util. but it's still a pain.
When opening Airport Utility it tells me a newer version is available (5.3.1).
I hit the update button which opens up Software Update, but the update doesn't show up in there!! lol..

Just what I was thinking actually. Let's face it, Apple has no business interest what so ever supporting Time Machine with Airport Extreme. Airport Express however is due for an update. It is still lacking 802.11n.
Have you tried switching your security protocol from WPA2 to WEP? Worked for me.
Anyone else notice that "About" says version 5.3.1, but "info" about the program still says "5.2.2"?
Mine has 5.3.1 on both the about and get info screens.
WEP can be broken into in minutes, so I wouldn't recommend that. Anyone who would take the time to break into your network can break it. It only deters accidental connections, see e.g.:

Does plain WPA mitigate the drop-out problem with WPA2?
i was too lazy to update last night, but this am i was going to install.
thankfully i didn't do it yet. i guess it really is smarter to wait a day or couple of days before doing an install. to make sure there arent problems with whatever patch has been made available.
