Airport Extreme Firmware Update 7.3.2 no longer connects to internet

Automatic Updates recommended Airport Extreme Firmware Update 7.3.2, which I accepted (BAD). The Airport Extreme does have a green light, but CANNOT connect to the internet. Cannot "Check for Updates" with Airport Utility (option key down) because I cannot access the internet. Airport Utility shows 7.3.2, but nothing lower. Is there a location on the mac where the older driver resides?
Numerous restarts, resets, etc with both the Cable Modem and Airport Extreme and my MacBook do not help.
How do I download 7.3.1? Can I? How can I revert?
I can access the internet from another network, hence this email.
Any suggestions would help!

When I updated to the Airport Extreme to 7.3.2 firmware it was dropping wireless connections randomly, Today I reverted back to 7.3.1 and looks like it is staying up for now but I am still shell shocked. To revert back in Airport Utility:
1) Hold down the option key(Mac), the Control key for Windows at the same time clicking on Check for updates
This will open a popup window with the previous versions, select the Airport Extreme Firmware 7.3.1 update and click download.
2) After the download is done, from Base station file menu drop down select Upload Firmware, you will get a choice to download different firmware updates, select 7.3.1.
That should install the 7.3.1.
There you go enjoy.

Airport extreme firmware update screwed up my IP sharing and internet

I am having all the same problems -
1) I upgraded to the 7.1 firmware
2) I got the 'double NAT' error, but no problems connecting to the internet
3) When I turned the bridge mode to off, I lost my internet, so I
4) Tried to turn the bridge mode back to Share an IP address, but got an error about IP addresses.
5) I went into Setup - the network port mapping tab - and unchecked and then re-checked the Airport button, so now I have internet access, but only at one computer, and if my computer is functional, my VOIP modem is not (or vice versa)!
6) when I tried going back into "Share an IP address", I got the same error about the beginning and end DHCP conflicting with my WAN.
(If it helps to know, I have two AEBS - one is set up as the Main WDS station, and the other Participates in that WDS)
Now I'm afraid to touch anything!!

I have installed the new AirPort Extreme firmware update (7.4.1) and with airport disk utility i want to connect automatically my hard drive related to the airport (wifi mode) , the connexion was working well before that update and now i have an error message (unknown user or wrong password error -36 ...) when the disk tries to connect automatically.
I would like to rollback to the 7.3.2 firmware version but there is no way to find it on internet (or on apple download) even if i change rollback airport utility to version 5.4.1: the binary firmware 7.3.2 disapeared from my mac and i can only choose 7.4.1 binary file ...
Do anyone have the same problem ?I you found how to fix it please answer my post (thanks)
Ok, here's how you actually do the downgrade - here's what Apple says, not exactly right - I would add that you HAVE to go to the MENU, choose BASE STATION, then hold down the Option key while pressing UPLOAD FIRMWARE, this will get you to a window that has the dropdown with older versions....the other versions were not available to me any other way.
{quote}If I have a computer or device that does not work well with an AWD with the latest update, how can I install previous (earlier) versions of firmware?
1. Open AirPort Utility.
2. From the AirPort Utility menu, hold the Option key (Control key in Windows XP and Vista) and choose Check for Updates....
3. Select the specific firmware version you require.
4. Click Download.
5. Select your base station and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click on the AWD icon.
6. Choose Base Station > Upload Firmware.
7. Select a firmware version and click OK.{/quote}

Airport Extreme Firmware update?

Hi all, as part of a seperate issue am experiencing with network transmission speeds I'm checking to see if I can update my Airport Extreme firmware.
Currently, the Software Updates section doesn't find any updates and the current firmware I'm using is 4.80.46.0 yet there appears to be a new version at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportextremefwupdate.html
Is that Firmware applicable? Is there a resident page that shows all of the Airport Extreme wireless cards firmware versions and updates?

Bravo,
OK... I see....
Then the Software Update would the in fact show you the latest updates for the Airport Extreme Card.... I have never seen a firmware update for the card but then it could be contained within the update itself.
The latest Airport software is 4.2...
My firmware version on the G5 iMac is 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)
Nothing we can do about that, that know of.

AirPort Extreme firmware update fails due to proxy

Have latest AirPort Extreme (tower) hardware at work, with v7.7 firmware, and am trying to upgrade the firmware to 7.7.3 via AirPort Utility v6.3.2 in Mavericks OS X 10.9.5. The Extreme is on the work network behind a proxy server. There is no capability to specify proxy information to the AirPort Utility, although my MacBook is properly configured with the proxy server in network settings. Every time I try to perform "Update" on the Extreme in AirPort Utility, I get "Downloading Firmware" and then "An error occurred while downloading firmware." I presume the MacBook would be downloading firmware and going thru the proxy to get it, and then applying the firmware update to the extreme, but I can't get the firmware downloaded.

If you or any of your work colleagues has a AE AC model at home.. their laptop would already have the firmware sitting on it.. and as long as you select the right one it should work.. if they upgraded their hardware with that laptop.
In one way the nice thing with Apple is the sheer limited amount of hardware there is..
Apple have just one AC model AE.. the latest firmware is 7.7.3 AFAIK.. I stay away from latest AC products as they are troublesome.
About AirPort base station firmware updates
Does AirPort Utility for OS X keep an archive of all my AirPort base station firmware updates?
AirPort Utility keeps an archive of all Wi-Fi Base Station firmware updates you install, and stores them in ~/Library/Application Support/Apple/AirPort/Firmware

Airport Extreme Firmware updating

I've got two older Airport Extremes (Gen 2 and Gen 4). I'm assuming that the "Version" listed in the information popup is the version of the firmware on the device.
Would the Airport Utility check all devices for firmware updates when configured in the following manner?
If not how would I check and update each station separately?
Thanks

All AirPorts are up to date with the latest firmware.
You will see a red badge with a number 1 next to the AirPort in AirPort Utility if a firmware update is available in the future.
7.6.4 has not been updated for a few years, so it is unlikely that it will see any future updates.
7.7.3 will likely be updated in the near future.

Airport extreme firmware update 19 Jan 2011

Today I was foolish enough to install the new firmware settings. the immediate effect was to remove me from the internet. I have tried factory reset and resetting the network but to no avail. Network diagnostics shows the status of settings OK except Internet and Server. The WAN ethernet connection on my airport extreme died a while ago but I have been able to use it by connecting to one of the other ethernet sockets and the ethernet connection still appears OK now but not in the WAN socket. I am now on the internet by going directly from my modem to my computer so presumably my internet connection is OK. Any help would be appreciated.

The WAN ethernet connection on my airport extreme died a while ago but I have been able to use it by connecting to one of the other ethernet sockets and the ethernet connection still appears OK now but not in the WAN socket.
With the WAN Ethernet port non functional, you could only use the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) configured as a bridge for any means of getting Internet/network access.
Is the AEBS the only router in your network configuration ... since you posted in the AirPort Express forum? If so, how do you have it currently configured?

Airport Extreme Firmware Update (7.4.1)

I recently did the above update and have now lost about 1/2 my internet speed and some sites no longer work. I've tried to reinstall the software but the Apple site will not allow me to download for some reason. Perhaps it recognizes the previous download. I've also looked for updates via the Airport Utility to no avail.
I've done hard and soft resets. Have rebooted the cable modem and the computer. But, now I cannot even do software updates with Apple or use the Apple website while on wireless via Airport...
Anyone having a similar problem?

Sometimes firmware updates can screw up your airport settings. Reset the airport device by holding down the reset button in the back, then set it up again using airport utility

Airport Utility fails to see Airport Extreme Only an Older Base Station no longer connected

Very weird what's happened... earlier this morning there was a power failure (none of my 2 computers were ON, and they are plugged in thru UPS with power surge/outage capabilities).
I turned my old Macbook Pro (2007) and everythign is fine. My Mac Pro (2008) is fine but it can't connect to the internet.
I've resetted both the modem and the Airport Extreme Base Station.
I've restarted and resetted the PRAM on my Mac Pro.
I've tried many times to diagnose it/change settings/create new network with Network and Airport Utility to no avail.
When I open Airport Utility on the Macbook Pro, it shows the Airport Extreme and it all looks fine... when I open Airport Utility on the Mac Pro, it only sees an old Snow/Graphite Base Station I haven't had plugged in in a log time. It doesn't see anything else.
I've tried trashing the Airport Utility preferences as well... but still nothing. The Wif Fi icon shows a '!'. When I click on it, the pull down menu shows an "Alert: No Internet Connection", but it still shows my network (and the neighbours' network) and it even has the check mark next to my network... ???
I'm running 10.8.5 and Airport Utility 6.3.1.
Please. Help.

Just a quick update, spent 90 minutes on the phone with apple support today. If I boot the mac in safe mode, the airport utility can see the base station.
In the course of trouble shooting, a test account was created, but the airport utility had the same issue. It proved that there isn't anything wrong with any of the hardware at the very least, and points to user level configuration problems (unfortunately, I was not able to sort that out with support).

Do I need Airport Extreme FW update?

I use Airport Express as a transmitter for wireless LAN. I have airport cards in all three computers and the network works fine. I do not have physical airport base station.
I have updated the Airport Express with new firmware without problem.
In airport utility I do show base station which can be configured although there is only Airport extreme card.
When I tried to update Airport Extreme firmware no base station showed up to be updated.
Am I correct assuming that I don't need the Airport Extreme firmware update since I don't have the physical base station and the network is run from Airport Express?
Milan

I use Airport Express as a transmitter for wireless
LAN.
That is an Airport Express Base Station (AX) and will show up in Airport Admin Utility as a Base Station with whatever name you have given it (hopefully not Airport extreme card!).
That's similar but different from the Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS).
Am I correct assuming that I don't need the Airport
Extreme firmware
Yes. The Express should be listed in Admin and when selected show at the bottom Apple Base Station V6.3.

Nortel VPN still broken with Airport Extreme firmware 7.1

I've just recently started using the NAT'ed mode of my 802.11n Airport Extreme and the the Nortel VPN connectivity is still broken with firmware 7.1.
I've setup a side by side config using the new Airport Extreme and my older Airport Express to make sure the issue is indeed with the Airport Extreme.
Here are the details of my setup:
ISP: NTT/GOL B-FLET (PPoE)
Wireless Config #1 - Airport Extreme firmware 7.1
Wireless Config #2 - Airport Express firmware 6.3
Client #1 - Nortel Contivity VPN V06_01.014 Windows XP 802.11g
Client #2 - Nortel Contivity VPN V04_86.033 Windows XP in Parallels 802.11n
The odd thing is that it isn't totally broken. The VPN connection is made and low bandwidth transfers work fine (ie. ssh, http requests), but higher bandwidth transfer fail to complete (ie RDP/RDC, ftp's, Outlook xfers).
When my clients are on the Airport Extreme Network, they have the issue but don't have the issue on the Airport Express network.
Is anyone else still having problems with Nortel VPN ? Does Apple have any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Eliot

I'm using Apani's Nortel VPN client (the most recent version) on my Mac mini, and the Windows version on my Windows XP notebook computer. Both were broken with the original AEBS firmware (7.0), but now both work well with the updated 7.1 firmware.
Keep experimenting - I'm sure you'll get it working.

Multiple issues arose after upgrading Airport Extreme firmware to 7.41

I recently upgraded my Airport Extreme firmware to 7.4.1 and instantly all my windows machine had issues connecting to the wifi, my Apple TV could no longer connect including a Nokia E71. The only devices connecting were the MacBook and iPhones. For the Windows machines i resolved this by forcing to authenticate using WPA2 AES encription. But the Apple TV and E71 couldn't connect. Also some VPN connection issues arose with my windows machines (iPsec). After 2 days of reluctancy to downgrade the firmware, i was left with no option other than to downgrade to 7.3.2.
I am 100% sure there is a problem with the new firmware, downgrading fixed all the issues without any configuration adjustment.
Apple you dropped the ball on this one, when are we getting a patch to 7.4.1?

Open Airport Utility. Select the airport from the list on the left (if you have more than one) and then choose Manual Setup.
On the Summary tab that opens, click on Version (that's the word Version, not the version number next to it). A drop-down arrow appears - click it and you should get a list of versions to choose from. 7.3.2 seems OK. Pick it and the device will downgrade and restart.

Buenos dias, tengo un airport extreme, y quiero saber como hago para guardar archivos desde internet?

buenos dias, tengo un airport extreme, y quiero saber como hago para guardar archivos desde internet?

Creo que lo mejor sería comprar un adaptador de USB a SATA. Desconecte el disco duro de la computadora portátil de Windows. Conecte el disco duro para el adaptador y luego al puerto USB del MacBook.
A continuación, puede copiar los archivos y usted no necesita el ordenador portátil de Windows.
Me disculpo por mi habla español terrible.

My iMac is able to use my wireless internet from my airport extreme, however, no other devices(iphone, ipod) will connect. The network shows up, but the indicator just spins without ever joining.

I have tried resetting my airport extreme, creating a new network, etc nothing seems to work.

I have a feeling you may be stuck in bridge mode there...
Factory reset the Extreme (so we don't second guess later), and re-set up the extreme using iOS5 on your iPhone.
Set up your Wi-Fi network with your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac.

Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

Can AirPort Extreme join a wireless network and share the connection to ethernet connected devices?

Yes, if the AirPort Extreme is joining a wireless network that has been created by another Apple router. In this case, it will be extending the wireless network and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the "remote" AirPort Extreme.
No, if the AirPort Extreme will be used with another router from another manfacturer.
Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express can do what you ask about with virtually any wireless network using a special feature called ProxySTA. It won't extend the wireless with a non-Apple router, but the Ethernet port will be enabled.
