AirPort Extreme Base Station Firmware Update


Wi-Fi certified for 802.11n draft 2.0; security fix.

AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n Firmware Update 7.2.1 delivers bug fixes, a security update, and makes the device Wi-Fi certified for 802.11n draft 2.0.

Updaters are available for Mac OS X and Windows.

The security issue relates to a design problem in IPv6 - the update gets around it by "disabling the support for type 0 routing headers." I suspect that if you don't know what that means, you should just go ahead and install the update anyway. Apple says the Gigabit version of the base station is unaffected.
