This morning I installed the 5.5.3 update to Airport Utility when prompted by Software Update (Macbook, 10.6.7). Up to that point, my wireless connection through Airport was working fine, but right around the time the update was installed, I lost all connectivity.
I tried rebooting both the laptop and the router/Airport several times, but that didn't help. The Airport Utility does not find the Airport base station when I scan for it. The router and base station themselves look normal (green lights, etc.), and my network appears in the list of networks, but when I try to access it, I get a timeout. (I checked the Keychain entry and I am using the correct password.) I don't think there's a problem with my service provider. The router and Airport base station are both about 5 years old, and it's conceivable that something went wrong with one of them, but it seems a little fishy that this happened just as I updated the Airport. Has anyone run into anything similar? Any advice? Thanks in advance for any help anyone has to offer.
