Air Port firmware upgrade

I did a software upgrade yesterday having read that it solves some serious security problems, and in the process I also got a firmware upgrade for the AirPort Extreme WIFI card in my MBP.
After the re-boot, my Mac was trying to connect to the 802.11n interface on my Air Port Extreme! This was totally unexpected since I have an older MBP without the 802.11n support - could the firmware upgrade have added it?
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x168C, 0x86)
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.3.4
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
A more general question is - Where do I find details of each of the software/firmware upgrades and what they include - similar to Micro$oft's KB articles?
Walt

There was a thread here a few months ago - I can't find it now - that explained that Apple, in the newer versions of the MacBook Pro, upgraded the AirPort Extreme hardware. the way you could tell the difference between the "old" and "new" hardware was the numbers in parentheses (0x168C, 0x86) following the name. I don't remember which was what, and I can't find the thread, just that mine was NOT the "new" version that was upgraded to 802.11n.
That's why I was excited when the MacBook Pro started to try to authenticate to the 802.11n connection. I didn't have time to investigate further, and won't now for a couple of days, but when I learn more I'll report back here when I do.
I'm guessing from the numbers, that your Mac Mini has the same AirPort hardware, but don't take that as fact

  • ESW 520 8-port - firmware upgrade

    Hi,
    We have a ESW 520 8-port currently on firmware version 2.1.1.19 (boot version 1.0.0.07, VID V01) - Serial number CBT15100AN2
    The latest firmware version is 2.1.1.21, which we downloaded and via Maintenance, Software Upgrade, via HTTP performed an upgrade to this latest version - the upgrade appears to complete, logs show successful however when we restart the switch it still shows as 2.1.1.19 . Very strange!
    Can someone please advise how to get the upgrade to successfully apply?
    Kindest regards,
    Dale. 

    David,
    Thanks for such a question reply - I had tried that and after reboot still shows as 2.1.1.19
    I decided to install the firmware upgarde again, change the active firmware to 2.1.1.21 again, restarted and this time it held.
    Thank you for your assistance, all resolved.
    Cheers,
    Dale.

  • Since I've upgraded to Maverick the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    Since I've upgraded to Maverick on my Macbook Pro the airpot utility does not recognise that there is a time capsule on the wireless network. I can see the TC using the air port utility on my iPhone5 and on my iPad. What am I doing wrong on my macbook?

    I have over 250G backed up and I really don't want to reset everything and start again.
    Not sure what you mean here. 
    A reset will not affect any of the data on the Time Capsule hard drive.  You would have to perform a completely separate and very deliberate Erase Disk operation for that to occur.
    I'm not recommending that you perform a default reset, but it is an option if there is really nothing else to try.
    I don't know if what you are seeing is a Mavericks issue or not, since I refuse to use any new software until at least the first major update with fixes comes along.
    Another user may be able to offer more input on Mavericks.

  • Firmware upgrade on mac book air 13"

    i clicked the update next to the firmware upgrade 1.6 option in app store, it is now stuck on "checking for new updates", i can't shutdown or anything, it says you must wait for os updates to complete before shutting down.  the message has been displayed for the last 6 hours.  anybody got any pointers, have contacted apple, but they are closed in the uk now, US care are trying to call but can't seem to get through to me.

    You can force quit the app store and load it down manually.  See this thread for a link.

  • Sky Router firmware upgraded - can no longer login with credentials

    I usually have no problems accessing my sky router (white Sky Hub with ADSL) via the page 192.168.0.1 however I tried to login the other day and was greeted with an updated looking summary screen - all very nice I thought, let's go and explore! However when I put in the usual details - username: admin, password: sky I get prompted to input my details again which is very odd. Now I know that I am the only one who accesses the router in this way as my flatmate has never logged in and probably never will so I can only assume the firmware upgrade has caused the password/username to change. I logged in the other week and the password is saved in my browser so I am sure I am not making any mistake here. I have tried in chrome and IE just in case but I have the same issue in both. Has the new firmware brought a new default password? I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on this site so it seems unlikely. I would rather not reset my router to default settings as I have devices with static IP addresses and port forwarding setup that will take me some time to reconfigure. I don't think there is any feature to backup the config unless you are actually logged in to the router but would love to be worng about this. I am guessing I will have to bite the bullet and reset to factory defaults but would welcome any help or suggestions if possible?

    After review the events of the morning.....
    I normally keep my routers in the basement where my eth jacks all hub.  High on a shelf, I got reasonable coverage on 2.4Ghz even on the second floor.  I went to this router for the Dual mode, but found the 5Ghz didn't make it sufficiently well to the second floor.  So it was moved to the first floor, on a counter.  That morning the router started acting up a bit, not bringing an iphone online.  It was looked at - and a couple of post cards that had been placed on top, removed.  Air flow was not blocked around the sides in any way - just a few pieces of card stock on top to interfere with convection off the top.  
    1.  There is no way to look at temperature - maybe the device doesn't even know its own temp.
    2.  There is no fan that I can discern.  Clearly, creating a device that is designed to sit on a flat surface in a home environment ought to take into consideration "normal impediments to air flow".   Temp controlled fans is simple, well proven tech.
    3.  This design is small, has TWO radios, sits horizonal (thus is going to have lousy convection) - seems to me an engineer ought to have given more thought to not only providing the user with easy to obtain data (temp), alternative methods (fan/vertical mounting) and/or self-protection (to hot, I'm shutting down rather than corrupt my database).
    Having spent millions on Cisco gear in my career, I would have hoped that Cisco+Linksys would have a little more Cisco and a little less Linksys.

  • Firmware upgrade crippled cp1025nw

    LaserJet CP1025nw color: was working flawlessly
    received email from HP 4/3/2012, recommending firmware upgrade to v 20120130.
    ran upgrade 4/3/2012 from iMac, OS10.6.8.
    got error: 'update failed'
    print queue says 'printing', cp1025nw doesn't respond.
    printer lights:  orange triangle enclosed exclamation mark plus green semicircle 
      This means: fatal error, per the user manual.  
       manual instructs to turn off, unplug, plug-in, turn on.  I did this several times.
    printer lights still indicate: fatal error.
    HP utility says: device status: unknown, service ID: unknown, FW version: unknown, driver version 2.0.20110727
                      tried to print configuration page: got error 'cannot establish two-way communication with the device'
                      printer and computer are connected with USB cable,  (this cable / port communicates without issue to Epson inkjet printer)
    Tried printing from Dell laptop: Latitude E6410 with USB cable: Windows XP professional, 2002, service pack 3.
                      has routinely printed from this computer previously.
    error message in printer queue: 'error - printing', 
    Dell said 'found new hardware'  tried to install with HP cd-rom
                      error message said 'the hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software'
    ran the HP print diagnostic utility HPPDU.exe file from the Dell with USB cable: 'Everything checks out okay with your printer'
     print test page: no response from the cp1025nw
    What should I try next?

    Since my last post I’ve retried the same troubleshooting described before, this time just from the PC.  The result is still the same.  Lights on the cp1025nw indicate “fatal error”.
    Does anyone know how to put this printer into ‘bootcode’ mode?  I’ve read about this in some other posts about HP firmware updates trashing printers.

    Is there some combination of button presses that sends the printer into bootcode so it is ready to accept the firmware?

  • How can I use my IPAD to stream Musik to two Air Port Clients in a network at the same time?

    I want to stream my musik via I PAD to more than one Air Port Clients at the same time. Via MAC it is possible to select "more speaker". In the I PAD I can only select Station 1 or Station 2.

    I opened Airport Utility today and it appears to have been simplified to the point where you can't do much with it these days.
    Yes, welcome to the Fisher Price toy box utility.. where nothing in the way of advanced usage is offered.
    Is there a way to accomplish what I want to do that is reasonably simple?
    You can put time controls onto the offending addresses.
    But if the hackers know anything at all they know how to access the MAC address of the computer and change it.. so the effectiveness of this is limited.
    Change the current setup and password.. You must use WPA2 Personal and I recommend you use a pure alphanumeric password, mix case and numbers of 20 characters or more for your situation.. do not give that password to anyone.. protect the admin password of the TC itself equally well but with a different password. And protect the physical access to the TC from anyone in your home.. because the fact is all security on the TC is an illusion if the TC has open access.
    See how to find passwords here.
    i forgot my password for my router, how can I change them.
    So anyone can discover your passwords without your knowledge and leave no trace on your system.
    If you make no progress.. I suggest replacement of the TC as the main router of your network.. you need something with controls.. and even better controls that allow you to block people.
    The favourite one now is older Netgear WNDR3800 . .you might need to buy from ebay although a few new ones are still around.. alternatively the WNDRMACv2 is simply the same hardware in a white box.. instead of black.
    Load gargoyle firmware onto it.. sorry if I even point to where you can find this info my post will be deleted.. I can say it.. just cannot help further.. so use google.. there are lots of posts and let me assure you this get combo.
    You can continue to use TC at what it does best.. a dumb wireless AP and location for TM backups.

  • Firmware upgrade for Westell UltraLine Series3 A90-9100EM15-10 ?

    I'm wanting to check for/download install a firmware upgrade for my Westell UltraLine Series3 A90-9100EM15-10.
    It's currently running
    Software Version:     1.02.00.04
    Release Date:     Aug 28 2008
    I'm hoping there's an upgrade available that fixes the HDMI Handshake/dropout problem?
    Anyway, the screen I'm taken to after clicking "upgrade" in the router's management UI says :
    Check every xx hours at URL _______
    The field after "at URL" is not populated.
    If I click "check now" I get:
    "URL must be in the format: protocol://userassword@hostort/path where protocol is one of http, https, ftp or tftp. Either user or password, or both, may be left out. The port number is also optional."
    Was that URL field supposed to be populated by the tech who installed the FIOS?
    Where can I find that URL so I can paste it in and get my firmware updates?

    Nevermind.  I've found it.  The link to 1.03.00.08 firmware is http://download.verizon.net/webdownload/firmware/upgrades/westell_router_9100em/A90-9100EM15-10-1.03...

  • Firmware upgrade stuck

    My router says there is still a firmware upgrade in progress. I have flashed and reflashed (using UI and tftp util) multiple times, and this will not go away.
    This is all on top of erratic behavior, dropping the connection, periods of no connectivity, periods of degraded performance, etc.
    I've tried a factory reset, and holding the button in for 30 seconds. Nothing will get this perpetual firmware upgrade to go away.

    Anytime a firmware upgrade is interrupted (for whatever reason) before it completes, there is a serious risk that your router will die.  However, there is always some hope.   Please try the following:
    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Firmware upgrade SG300

    Is it possible to do a firmware upgrade on an SG300-52 without a windows machine in the building? If so how. The last windows box died a year ago and I don't have a com port anymore. Haven't found instructions or a proper manual on this box yet. Prob my fault but I can't find much on this switch. Only some complaints but no instructions. Please show me what a blind noob I am.

    Nevermind I found it. Should have used the time I spent registering for the community looking for the panel in my web interface. Noob, mac user, lightwieght. Please remove this waste of time.

  • Firmware upgrade 1.3.0.62 -- 1.3.5.58 (SG 300-28P)

    Should i be concerned doing the firmware upgrade remotely? I.e. remote to a local workstation and connecting to SG 300-28P from that workstation over LAN and doing firmware upgrade using WebGUI (Google Chrome)?
    I've done the multiple upgrades on these switches this way and never had an issue.
    However, Release Notes for 1.3.5.58 have some notice regarding boot image and I am concerned that configuration can be lost after the upgrade and if this is the case I'd be screwed since I won't be able to get on the switch to load the custom config after the fact.
    Anyone who's done this upgrade please report if your configuration settings were left in place after the upgrade to 1.3.5.58.

    Cameron hi,
    Interesting input about loss of VLAN configuration while upgrading version. Is this the 1st time you see this issue, or does it happen also during regular reload of the switch?
    Also - some question which can may provide additonal informaiton on issue  (if you can provide these):
    1) Did the issue happen on a port connected to another switch (an uplink port)? - If so what is the neigbor switch type?
    2) would it be possible for you to to provide running and startup config before and after reload (of course without security sensative details).
    3) Can you provide outputs of show CDP neighbors (detail)  before and after reboot?
    Thanks

    This is part of the message since you cannot post such a long message in posting.
    This should show how lost you might be with your warranty. If you install the Firmware Upgrade .8.02 your player might be useless. There is no way to make it work again. Not really. If you understand what Creative seems not to do. So dear user - buy a new player. If you want to know what the solution is to make your player work again post here. If there are enough postings I will explain it here. Too sad that Creative does not do it. It is their job not mine... But again - I am not talking about a problem what is nice to have it solved. I am talking about a player that does not work anymore. If you do not want to wait for my solution just send your player for repair - it was not your fault that it does not work anymore...
    This story with the great support was a test of Creative and will be used in a review. So be not surprised to find it somewhere else.
    Here the Creative support story. The first mail is at the bottom. I had to make part and part 2 since you cannot post such a long message here.
    To: Creative Labs Asia Customer Support <[email][email protected]][email protected][/url]>Subject: Re: CLA (CTL) - Technical Support Request - (MuVo TX FM) (KMM7755874I6636L0KM)Dear,I know the solution long time already. I just wanted to test the support at Creative. The problem is real and forces owners of your players to buy a new one since their playes get useless after the upgrade. Not only that Creative puts a faulty upgrade on their homepage - their support is good for nothing. But this was a test of the Creative support. I hardly can believe that Creative is not in the position to solve a very simple problem caused by Creative - what has severe consequences for their customers. But this mail story confirms exactly this. So my advice to any customers - stay away from this company and their products - what is the final result of my test. If you want to know the solution for the problem please contact me again - I am glad to help such a poor company :-)))) For free?

  • Muvo TX FM 512MB: firmware upgrade failed. How to recov

    Hi, I have a Muvo TX FM 52MB. The firmware version used to be .4.0x. I tried to upgrade it to the newest one, .7.04.
    I did everything according to the Instructions on the Creative Download Website. I let the OS to choose the recovery driver for me. The firmware upgrade file correctedly found my player and executed the upgrade. However, there's no instruction that I should check the format data option during upgrade. So I didn't format the data during upgrade. After the upgrade, I couldn't start the player and the PC couldn't recognize it.
    I tried to do the upgrade again. The PC correctly recognized the player as a recovery device. After I started the creative upgrade program, the program founds the recovery device, then started to find any device connected to the computer, finally said that "The device is not connected to the USB port".
    How to solve it's Many thanks.
    Alex

    go to nomadworld.com and find the firmware... READ PROPERLY... it says that u must install a new driver before u upgrade the firmware... mine works... for now, to recover it, press and hold the play button on the player while connecting it and hold the button until a window appears to install the player recovery software... before that, install the new driver first. then let windows search for the driver. windows will clear everything up in ur player. NOW U CAN DO UR firmware update... it doesnt matter whether u want to format or not cause the firmware upgrade program will format your player even though u didnt want to do it. its not the formatting problem.. hope this hel
    ps.
    thanks for reading.
