Did Apple's AirPort 3.4.1 Updater Take?

1999–2004April 28, 2004Macs Only!Internet
If you had a reception issue with AirPort 3.4 and after applying the 3.4.1 updater reception did not improve, how can you tell that the 3.4.1 updater actually installed? Well, launch the System Profiler in your Utilities folder, click on "Extensions" under Software in the navigation window on the left and scroll down the the four AppleAirPort... extensions as shown below:

The first and second extensions should have the date of when you installed the 3.4.1 updater and the AppleAirPort2 extension should be version 3.4.1.

If you have problems maintaining an AirPort connection, it may have nothing to do with AirPort 3.4. We always move the primary internet connection port configuration, especially "Internel Modem," to the top of the list to minimize connection problems. To do so open the Network pane in System Preferences, click on the "Show" popup menu, select Network Port Configurations and drag AirPort to the top of the list. This works for us with dial-up connection problems but we do not have AirPort connection problems to test.
