After applying this update myself, it did not resolve the wireless issue I'm having at my university campus.

Answer 1

I managed to get 100% connectivity with my Core 2 Duo MacBook working flawlessly with my Airport Extreme router, and I'll tell you how.
After installing the latest Airport update, I did the following:
1.) I reset my router to it's default settings. I am using an Airport Extreme.
2.) I connected to the default settings, and tested bandwidth. Perfect.
3.) I ran Airport Setup Assistant (Applications/Utilities/Airport Setup Assistant), and configured my network with the settings below:
-WEP 128 encryption, with a 13-character password (mine was all letters)
-I changed the network's name from what it was to a new one
-I added OpenDNS's IP: 208.67.222.222
I restarted it, and tested the bandwidth again, getting the same results as with the unencrypted test!
So far no issues, having the other computers connected doesn't appear to weaken the signal or cause a dropout. Still getting a much more stable result.
I am now going to attempt to add the port forwarding settings I previously had in there, as well as the access list.
