IAMDORIAN One wonders if this is in response to the recent faux pas updating to OS X 10.5.7. That update caused by Airport card to completely loose connection to my Apple Express AIrport box. I'll try the update and see if this fixes that problem. ::: crossing fingers:::

QUORTZ 10.5.7 caused no problems at all with my AirPort Express. In fact, it has caused no real problems with anything else either.

MISCHIVO I sure hope you're correct and this is a response to that. The airport connection on my almost 6 year old Powerbook is great, yet on my 1.5 year old Mac Pro--well it's sparse at best, and I blame it on the airport software, not on my router. It seems to lose connection for absolutely no reason, and then regains it.

TIM27 It might not be the software either = could be your Airport card?

MICHAEL_FRANKEL This update has proven to be VERY unstable, especially on my MacBook Pro, which after the initial update and reboot caused EVERYTHING to crash repeatedly. After rebooting, it seemed to be fine. Running a permissions repair revealed ALOT of things needing repair. Did someone in Apple's QA department fall asleep while testing this thing??

DER~BOT~HAUS Just letting you know that my update showed zero of these issues. Super smooth. Didn't repair Permissions, didn't run diskutil. 5.4.1 was still running, actually. Closed it and re launched. 5.4.2 glory. No crashes. (I don't recommend people update in my haphazard style)

FIREMIN Mmmh. Don't know if this release is the problem, as I haven't had to log in to my Airport Base Station for some time. BUT.... Now, I can't log into it. Airport Utility 5.4.1 says it can't find any Apple airport devices which is truly interseting because I am connected to the internet via the same Airport that the Utility says it can't find!!

MBP GKB 5.4.1/7.4.1 Airport update I've been using the Time Capsule as my primary network. I extended my network with an Airport extreme (version prior to the latest). It's been working on 5.3.2 and has been solid as a rock. When the update came out, I was excited. I downloaded it and installed it and WOW my internet connection was screaming fast! It lasted just long enough for the back up to start on the Time capsule. The TC started failing backups, my connection to the net turned into the slowest thing since my 56k modem days. I started out by believing that Apple could do no wrong and fussed at my ISP. Well, I started hunting around and it seems others are having issues with this update. I'm noticing connection drops, the email client won't log in, I'm actually trying to connect to my neighbors ISP just to download the older version (it's still on your mac in the library directory, so if you can't find it or can't connect, look there) I back loaded to the 5.3.2/7.3.2 version and what do you know, it works great again. Solid as a rock. A week went by and It was working well. I thought again it might have been the ISP and updated it again (because my Airports were screaming at me 'Update available!') It was super fast for about 3 minutes. I was excited again for 3 minutes .. then it was back in the commode again. I'm now back on 5.3.2/7.3.2 and am happy to stay there until apple fixes this patch. Three words for you my friends ... DON'T DO IT!!!!'

TDU I have the same issues as previous posters. My wireless connection had been bulletproof up until installing this update. In my case I didn't even mean to install it was the worst part. Airport Utility asked if I wanted to update it when I had it open, and I wasn't reading the dialogs carefully enough and hit ok by mistake. I have regretted it ever since. My connection CONSTANTLY drops. If I leave the computer idle for more than 1/2 hour, I end up having to reset my base station just to get it to show up. It costs me a ton of time each workday. This update has been a DISASTER for me. And obviously from the reviews, I am not alone. I normally only leave comments and not a star rating, but if anything deserves a one star ratings it's this software. Definitely proceed with caution if you plan on using this.

MISCHIVO This update has bugs in it. Whereas my network was A-Okay with the previous version, it now has a major issue: it periodically loses connection every dozen minutes or so. It does this by either disconnecting me from my network (even though my network remains in the pull down list) or by simply losing connection to the Internet even if the network connection remains strong. In each case, turning off airport and turning it back on fixes the problem.

OCTOBERDAY Downloaded 5.4.1 and my airport card can no longer locate my Airport Extreme base station. After 8 frustrating hours of trying different things to fix it, I finally went back to wired connection to access internet. My card sees all the neighbors' locked wifis, but not my Airport Extreme base 3 feet away (which, by the way, it can "see;" It's listed when I go to 'advanced.') I have an older Powermac G5 Dual Processer, and I'm off warranty, so am waiting for some good advice or a bug fix. I can't afford to pay tech support to help me fix Apple's mess-up...

M85 After I upgraded to 5.3.2 it took two hours worth of reboots and unplugs to get my base station to see my airport express again. I won't touch 5.4.1 or any other AAU update until I see a bunch of trouble-free reviews. | |

RPPHOTO Wow, this version 5.3.2 (Leopard) as downloaded from Software Update killed my ability to see my three Airports, although Safari and Mail work fine. When I open Airport Utility it scans for ages and reports that no Airports are available.

AXLE I know this update was geared toward the new Macbook Air which i'll never own. however, I have been trying for a while to reconnect our network using another Airport Express and found this new layout MUCH easier to use. The old Airport utility help sucked. This was much simpler and the language was easier to understand.
