Apple Releases Airport Base Station Update
If you own an Airport Extreme Base Station, the old AEBS, or Airport Express Base Station, Apple just rolled out 2007-001 compatibility updates and general fixes for the following applications:
- Airport Utility
- Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow Base Stations.
- Airport Disk Utility
- Airport Disk Agent
It’s about time Apple made this move since many owners of the new Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11n), including myself, have been unhappy with some of the connection problems and administrative issues. It’s important to note that this download does not update the actual firmware on the AEBS’ unit, it simply upgrades the aforementioned applications residing in your Mac. As always, make sure you backup your Mac first before getting the update, just in case. You can get the 12.7mb update either by running software update or straight from Apple.
It seems that this update is just intended for people who have AirPort Utility 5.0 (only if you bought a 802.11n base then). So if you just have an “old” one, don’t bother. See comments here for more infos: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28282&mode=feedback
