Airport Express firmware update

• Airport Extreme firmware update proves difficult

  I have an old extreme airport that I have not used for a while — probably around 2008 or 2009.  Go to 2016 when I suddenly had a need to get back online.  I tried to implement via Airport utility, but it is what it says:

  This version of AirPort utility requires this version of the firmware use AirPort Extreme 7.3.1 or later. Go to Airport Service and support for more information.

  
  

  I don't seem to have a way to update the firmware via the utility program because it does not work with firmware older than 7.3.1.  I seem to have a chicken or the egg problem.

  
  

  How to do this?

  
  

  Thank you!
  

  You get around this using... or borrowing of 10-15 minutes... a Mac that is running an operating system older like Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC utility AirPort for Windows on the device.

  If you have an Apple Store or Apple close to home repair center, they might have an old Mac available that could be used to update the firmware on your AirPort Extreme old.

  Once the airport has been updated to the version of firmware available more high using the older Mac or PC, then you can use your current Mac for new updates if they are available.

• Airport Extreme Base Station model bricks A1408 after failed firmware update

  Shown on Macbook Pro iOS X 10.10.5 airPort utility update the firmware available for both devices on my network 3 June 2016
  1 Airport Express 7.6.7

  2 version of Extreme Base Station Airport unknown as not reported as I expected not die

  After the update successful of the AirPort Express, the update cannot be installed on the Base Station firmware.

  After waiting a while, I tried the update again which also failed to install.

  Current symptoms:

  a. the Base Station is hot indicating energy consumption

  b. No. LED light is during the power on self test or during the race

  c. not discover measure on the WIFI network

  d. is not identified on Ethernet connection without light next to the Ethernet port

  e. DC output is 12V on the connection of the power supply works as expected

  f. cannot perform factory reset using the reset button on the back of the Base Station

  Where other devices working on the same power supply as the Base Station that very sensitive to power outages - these remain functional during the attack of upgrading me to think that he has not lost power while firmware update took place.

  My home network is made entirely of Apple devices - should I worry on the application of the firmware updates in the future.

  It's embarrassing and I now Cat5 running through my house just to maintain services.

  I can't confirm the date of purchase, so I don't know if it is covered by the warranty, however, I'd like to think Apple would cover this.

  What I am doing wrong and y at - it a way to recover the device.

• I use a VPN in AirPort Express. I've updated firmware for 7.7.7 and DNS assigned by my VPN does not work anymore. Upon entry, the icon 'internet' in utility Airpot turns brown, and the internet stops completely. Anyone have any idea?

  Why my internet connection dies? I use a VPN to my internet at home. I put the DNS numbers supplied by the company VPN in my airPort extreme, which, in turn, provides wireless for home. It worked perfectly until I updated to firmware 7.7.7. Suddenly the green light next to the 'internet' in airport Utility icon went Brown, and it is therefore most all internet. I put numbers in DNS to my ISP, and internet provider is displayed again. All the other numbers in DNS, whether it's Google, OpenDNS or VPN to stop the dead from the internet. Anyone has an idea about this?

  Airport base stations, are at best, a VPN-well past that device. It is a server or a VPN client. Upgrade to the latest firmware does not change this fact.

  To create a VPN tunnel using the AirPort Express Terminal, your computer must be running a VPN client that connects to a VPN server somewhere on the Internet. What DNS servers you use should make no difference with VPN.

  If the ISP-supplied DNS servers do not work, I would say that you contact your ISP to find out why they don't allow you to use them.

  What we need to study is more why you lose Internet connectivity when changing the DNS servers of your ISP. Please check with them and to report back, then we can try to help.

• Cannot run AirPort Extreme or Express 7.7.7 Firmware update-> gray button

  Hello!

  I have an AirPort Extreme and Express stations. Both come with a pill that indicates a upgrade must be performed:

  

  Now, I click on the AirPort Express icon. The following window appears:

  

  He told me that a Firmware update is available. But in this window, I can only select "ignore". I can't select the choice of the update.

  If I click on the "Edit" button to change the settings of the station:

  

  But in the window that appears, the "Upgrade" button is gray:

  

  The same thing happens when I click on the icon of the AirPort Extreme station.

• Why updates Apple version firmware 2012(2nd gen) Airport Express

  The last update was 2 years 7.6.4. Why Apple has not added all the features of the last Terminal Airport Express

  Unfortunately, nobody here can answer for Apple or tell you "why" they do something or not do something... we're all users, just like you.

  If you want to see a new feature on an AirPort Express Terminal, or new features on a new model, you can inform Apple. Click on the link just below for this purpose. Will acknowledge receipt of your comments, they will not respond after that.

• Can not update the settings on the Airport Express

  Currently have a facility - two extremes and an Express network.  I for the life of me can't update the Express settings. I always get an error message but I can update the settings on the two extremes very well. I can make changes to the Express with my Iphone but I can't with my Imac.  I want to activate the function of 5 GHz but I can't do that via my Iphone - with the desktop app I think.  Can someone help me?

  Let's first check and make sure that on which Airport Express version you have.

  Your version of the AirPort Express is there only 1 or 2 Ethernet ports?

  The Express to connect to your network and extend it wireless?  Alternatively, the Express connects to one of the extremes airport using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  Then, I would be not too concerned of not being able to 'see' the Express of the iMac as long as you can access the settings of the iPhone. You can make almost any change using the iPhone you can use a Mac.

• Yesterday my AirPort express (2nd generation) wanted to update to be r 7.6.7. After that the speed of the aircraft fell sharply. Everyone has experienced similar behavior? Tips to solve the problem are welcome.

  Yesterday my Airport Express wanted to updated, I did. (from 7.4.6 to 7.6.7).

  After that, he started to behave erratically with big drops in speed. Anyone have similar experiences? How can I fix this without having to buy a new one.

  Stop your Mac. Turn off your Airport Express and stop the modem from your ISP. Wait 10 minutes, then turn on the modem to ISP, and then the Airport Express base station. Power on your Mac. Re-evaluate your performance problems.

  Run thisor that in this preference order to assess your latency time, download and bandwidth. You may need to modify the server or the other.

  I have upgrade 7.6.7 on my 4th gen Airport Extreme and observed no performance degradation to before the update.

  Sometimes the ISP gets their DNS in a tangle and makes the network almost Catatonic until they have to fix things. Nothing to do in this case at the user level. Did you call your ISP and asked them to check their equipment on your premises?

• Why can't I update my Airport extreme Firmware?

  Why can I update my Airport Extreme 802.11n (3rd generation) Firmware?

  He keeps asking me to put in my password once I've done without end.

  If I forgot the right one, where can I find the right pair?

  Keychain Access (password of the show) is without help. It is to show that it took me several times!

  Thank you for your time and patience,

  W.W.

  Unfortunately, your message you can think that you only have a single password for AirPort Extreme, when you have two, and maybe three.

  (1) wireless network Password... used to connect wireless devices to your wireless network

  (2) basic password Station... a device password used to access the settings in AirPort Extreme AirPort utility so that you can make changes to the configuration of the airport and install the new firmware updates

  (3) disk password... an option that can be configured to require that a password can be entered to access the data on a hard drive connected to the AirPort Extreme. Most users use the password for the Base Station for this.

  You think maybe the wireless password when enter you the AirPort Utility?  If you are, you must enter the password for the Base Station. If you forgot, you can recover it from keychain access, everything as you got the password wireless.  Looking for a list of AirPort Base Station password.

• Can I downgrade firmware AirPort Express to 7.6.4 to 7.6.1?

  I have an AirPort Express 802.11n, 2nd generation, with the firmware 7.6.4. I was unable to get a Chromecast to connect to him - there seems to be a known problem with the connection to any firmware version 7.6.1. With the help of the utility AirPort 6.3.6 if I option click on the version of the firmware for the router and get the choice of the downgrading of firmware 7.6.3 but nothing earlier. The 'other' option one opens 'my documents' dialog, but if there is a version of previous firmware stored somewhere on my Mac, I don't know where to find. Grateful for any help.

  If you have purchased the Express with 7.6.4 firmware can not be downgraded. Downgrades Apple blocked... and 7.6.3 is poor so stick to what you have.

  I think that problems with Chromecast on 7.6.3 and 7.6.4 are more to do with an extreme as the express... However if she refuses to work... Be smart...

  Apple created their network for apple devices... so use your Apple TV not a chromecast.

  OR

  Buy a cheap as wireless router of the low-end N TP-Link Wireless (or other Chinese brand) chips... Connect all wireless router is the main router of the network and use as WAP for the Chromecast... you'll have a lot less questions to stick to Non-Apple wireless equipment when you use streamers not apple.

• Airport Extreme is flashing yellow. Utility shows "Firmware Update" but no button to do so.

  Hello

  my Airport Extreme will blink yellow. Airport utility shows a red circle with a white "1" and "Fimware" available update.

  But there is no button to update. I can choose 'Ignore' only.

  AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2. Generation)

  The Firmware is 7.5.2. The current version for my model is 7.6.4.

  Airport utility is v6.3.5.

  The airport works well so far. So, I need this Firmware update?

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Open AirPort Utility

  Click on the image of the AirPort Extreme

  

  I don't think that you really need to update unless there is a feature... as the extension of the network of comments... you need.

  If there is no update button in the window that appears, we still have another "bug" to the report

• My Airport Express will randomly start flashing orange and I have to unplug it to make it back to the green.  Wifi continues to operate even when the light is orange flashing.  Anyone know why this is happening?

  My Airport Express will randomly start flashing orange and I have to unplug it to make it back to the green. Wifi continues to operate even when the light is orange flashing. Anyone know why this is happening?

  The next time you see the flashing light amber...

  Open Finder > Applications > utilities > AirPort Utility

  Click on the image of the AirPort Express

  If you see a button update, click on update the firmware on the airport

  

  Otherwise, find status and click on the little orange dot it. A message will appear to say why the airport complained and suggest a remedy for the issue.

• Airport Express had not cooperated and TC?

  I got my TC and Airport Express for a few years now without any problems.  Recently, no known changes, I could no longer connect to my wifi/internet. After that everything in that I can get troubleshooting, it's when the TC and AE are physically connected to my my wifi internet network and stop working.  When I have either connected by themselves the internet and wifi works very well.  My setup as follows:

  Router & Verizon Fios Internet Service

  Airport Express hard wired to the Fios router

  Time Capsule hard wired to the Fios router

  I have updated firmware on TC and AE today and no luck.  Any ideas on what might be the cause?

  Thank you!

  Reset both the TC and Express to plant and restore the configuration.

  Make sure that both are in bridge mode... and get IP address valid for the FIOS router.

  If you are roaming network then both TC and Express needs to create a wireless network of the same name and same level of security / password.

  If you still have questions, post screenshots of the installation.
