MacBook WIFI after 10.5.2 upgrade

[rjharary]

My Macbook C2D (wireless n) has always been spotty with my home network connection. My Appletv and PC have never had any issues. That was with 10.5.1 now that I've upgraded to 10.5.2, I get no connection. The solution I got from Apple is to downgrade my D-link router to wireless g from wireless N which I can't do because the reason I upgraded to N was for the range I needed. The other solution I've gotten from Apple is to buy their Airport extreme. Is this the way the problem should be treated? there is obviously a problem here and I've heard that other people have had these issues. Why won't Apple do anything about this? I am so Frustrated!!!

I signed up to answer your plea for help as I was in the same boat. There is a work around for the issue here:

Look for a post by jed02. It worked with my Dlink dir-625 so that i was able to use may Macbook Pro on N again, at least at home. Not sure how it will work for you, be sure to back up your current router settings before doing any adjustments just in case.
