See not all routers remain within spec with each operating system update. Apple introduced 802.11n compatibility long after it was initially accepted into draft, but before it was finalized. If the operating system is not in sync with the router firmware, issues can start to happen with your wireless. Updates refine firmware compatibility to optimize speed and security. In doing so, some routers may have fallen off the compatibility list until their firmware is updated. It is a constant game of cat and mouse.
