Apple AirPort Update 3.4 is available for download via the Software Update preference pane and as a standalone updater. It includes the AirPort Extreme Firmware Update 5.4 for Extreme Base Stations--the firmware is also available as a standalone updater. To apply the firmware update, open the AirPort Admin Utility and then open the configuration window--a dialog box to apply the update should pop up.

New AirPort Extreme features:

  • Improved antenna output control.
  • Enhanced logging from your base station which is compatible with syslog.
  • Performance improvements for WPA security implementations.

Apple AirPort Management Tools 1.0 are available for download (we had difficulty with Apple's web page but not MacUpdate's.)

The AirPort Mangement Utility and AirPort Client Monitor provide powerful tools for planning, setting up, fine-tuning, and managing larger, enterprise-class wireless networks. This version of the AirPort Management Tools software requires:

  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • AirPort 3.4
