New Airport Updates Available


upgrade if you need to...

Apple have released updates for both the Airport Express and the Airport Extreme Base Stations

If your Airport base station is working fine without issue I would recommend not upgrading.

If you are having issues then upgrading makes sense.

It addresses reliability and resolves issues with AirTunes, AirPort compatibility, and issues with some third party Routers.

Fixes:

-Resolves issue with Audio dropout when playing to AirPort Express with AirTunes
-Resolves issue with Wireless Disabled mode for AirPort Express
-Resolves issue with AirPort Extreme LAN Performance
-Resolves issue when enabling AOL Parental Controls
-Resolves issue with vulnerability to Denial of Service Attacks (bonk)
-Resolves issue with wireless internet access through AirPort via some PPPoA DSL Routers
-Improved reliability when printing through AirPort base stations
-Improved support for RADIUS servers
-Improved support for Network Time Servers (NTP) for AirPort when using an IP addresses

AirPort Express Firmware Update 6.3 for Mac OS X

AirPort Extreme Firmware Update 5.7 for Mac OS X

The Airport Windows updates are also available:

AirPort Express Firmware Update 6.3 for Windows

AirPort Extreme Firmware Update 5.7 for Windows

Thanks to TUAW for the heads-up.
