Apple's AirPort Software v3.3 with AirPort Extreme Base Station Firmware v5.3
This software update provides improved AirPort wireless networking software, and is recommended for all users with an AirPort Extreme and AirPort enabled computer or an AirPort Extreme base station.
New AirPort Extreme Features:
This software provides support for the Wi-Fi Protected Access™ (WPA) specification for the AirPort Extreme base station and AirPort Extreme and AirPort clients. Please see AirPort Help for more information on WPA. Also included in this release is v5.3 of the AirPort Extreme base station firmware. Instructions for updating the base station firmware can also be found in AirPort Help.
The AirPort Extreme base station and AirPort Extreme client are Wi-Fi Certified™ for 802.11b and 802.11g interoperability.
We updated a number of Macs, Extreme and original, and an Apple Extreme Base Station with no ill effects. We areusing 128-bit WEP security but this update will let us enable the more secure WPA security on our network with mixed 802.11b (AirPort) and 802.11g (AirPort Extreme) Macs. [Dana Baggett]
