"Resolves an issue that prevented the network password from being stored in the Keychain when the network on the 5GHz band was named differently"
I think not! I upgraded to 5.5.2 a couple of months ago. Today, I tried changing the name of my 5GHz network. After the Airport rebooted, I was able to get into the newly-named 5GHz network, no problem. I was able to see the 2.4GHz network but it would not let me in ("invalid password" ). I tried changing the password (to see if it would store a new password in the chain correctly) but no luck.
Why do modems suck? Every single time I turn my television on, it works. Same with my cell and home phone. Yet the Internet? Man, modems have a serious attitude problem. If I just look at my modem wrong it gives me trouble.
Using an Aiport Base Station has helped remove the "one more service provider to blame" from the situation (see; netgear, speedstream) but, trouble shooting a lost internet signal is such a pain in the ass.
Are modems just crappy technology. What's the deal?
i downgraded from os x 10.6.5 to the original snow leopard (10.6) and eversince my system is faster and more reliable

It turns out I had this problem, but it manifested itself by reverting back to the 2.4GHz g-band (when it couldn't log in through the 5GHz n-band). Strange... Hopefully this fix will resolve that.
Also note this update is for the Time Capsule also. As soon as I walked in the door, the update was staring me in the face.

I learned long ago that if your TimeCapsule is blinking orange then your in for a long hard fight.
I have updated, but AirPort does not reflect the 5.5.2 and keeps trying to get me to update again. I went ahead and did the AirPort Express Firmware update, but 5.5.2 keeps coming up over and over again. ??
