Airport Extreme cannot downgrade version from 7.5 to 7.3.2

Hi everyone,
I downloaded a older version 7.3.2 through "check for update".
but there is no choice for me to choose in "upload firmware".
does anybody tell me how to find the downloaded firmware in Windows 7?
Thanks a lot!!

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
I doubt that older firmware version is compatible with your new AirPort Extreme, so it doesn't surprise me that you can't upload it.

    My Airport Extreme cannot be discovered by my macbook pro. Need help.

    New, out of the box, the AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx.
    If you want to configure the AirPort Extreme using wireless, you must log on to this network first from your Mac.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen, click Join Other Network, click Show Networks, select the Apple Network xxxxxx and log on. No password is required. Then open AirPort Utility.
    Or
    If you have a spare Ethernet cable handy, connect it from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. Then open AirPort Utility.

  • How do you upload firmware to Airport extreme with the following message: This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. I'm using airport utility 6.0

    The airport extreme at my parent's house has not had its firmware update in some time and it keeps dropping the internet connection and needing to be reset.
    I went to update firmware and opened up airport utilities (I'm running airport 6.0 on Mountain Lion, 10.7.4).  Everytime I open the airport utility I get the following message: "
    This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Use AirPort Utility 5.6 to update this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support.
    I've followed the link and tried to update firmwares but none are available and the print says that airport utility will look to see if firmware are available and load them as necessary when prompted by user.
    One link said the only way to solve this problem is open up Airport Utility 5.6. I tried to do this, but 5.6 is not supported on Mountain Lion and couldn't be opened up.
    I'm getting the exact same message on my other computer, a Mac Air.
    So basically, can't download new firmware and am stuck with a ****** airport extreme that needs to keep being reset, a factory reset, in order to use the internet, but then continues to give me the same message.
    Thanks!

  • Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Can I use my iPad with airport extreme to retrieve files from a USB connected hard drive?

    Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

  • Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    Can I connect an external hard drive to one of the ethernet port of the airport extreme and access it from my Mac or PC?

    If this hard drive is part of a NAS device, then yes it should be accessable from either a Mac or PC while connected to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by Ethernet.

  • This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information.

    I am trying to update my Airport Extreme. I go into the Airport Utility and this is the message attached I get when clicking on it.
    "This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." That;s it.
    I guess I can hard reset it, but this seems weird. Any advice would be nice.
    Thank you.

    Dear Bob, I have same problem:
    "This version of AirPort Utility requires this AirPort Extreme use firmware version 7.3.1 or later. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."
    My MBAir is running OSX 10.9.3 and the AIrPort Extreme I'm trying to use is A1143.
    Thanks

  • I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

    Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

  • Airport Extreme Cannot see Live Internet Connection from Cable Modem

    Hi,
    When I run a cable directly from my cable modem to my MacBook everything works fine. In fact, that is how I am connected to the Internet right now.
    However, when I run the same cable into my Airport Extreme (AE) and then connect my MacBook to the AE (wired or wireless), the AE reports a problem connecting to the Internet. This is a new situation as everything has been working fine for months. I have changed nothing in this set-up for it to stop working.
    I can only assume the at the AE is broken: the Internet connection is live, it was working fine for months and then stopped working. Is there anything I should try before I throw the AE in the garbage?
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    It appears as if you may not be aware that cable modems must be completely reset whenever the device that they are connected to changes. The reason for this is that the cable modem "remembers" the device that it has been connected to. In your case, it's "remembering" your computer and looking for it when you plug it in to the AirPort Extreme.
    You need to make your modem "forget" your computer. Here's how:
    o Push the reset button on the modem if there is one on your modem
    o Power the modem down immediately after you push the reset button
    o Pull the battery in the modem if it's easily accessible
    o Leave the modem powered down at least 20-30 minutes (Some ISPs take longer)
    Power down the rest of your network as well.
    After the power down period, start the modem first and let it run 3-4 minutes by itself
    Then start the Airport Extreme (you may need to "hard reset" the device again to start over on the configuration) and let it run a few moments
    Then start your computers one at a time
    Please post back on your progress. Remember, if you need to connect your computer directly to the modem again, you must reset the modem again because it will "remember" the AirPort Extreme if you have reset it correctly.

  • Access AirPort Extrems USB hard drive from Android

    I'm starting a new discussion because I erroneously marked my earlier discussion "solved".
    I've been using a USB connected disk drive on my AirPort Extreme from my Android tablet for years.  Since upgrading the AirPort to version 7.6.4 I can no longer access the disk drive from the tablet.  I have not changed anything on the tablet, only the AirPort.
    The tablet can see the AirPort itself as 10.0.1.1 and can see the attached disk drive, but when I try to access the drive I get a series of possible errors including Firewall issues,  SMB service is off or out of scope and WLAN is off.
    I don't know how to look at the firewall on the AirPort or check on the SMB service (I can't find either topic in AirPort Utility).
    I have tried a factory reset, and also reverting back to version 7.5.2 as suggested in the other thread, but I still get the same message when I try to connect.
    The drive is fully accessible from either of the two Macs on the network.
    Please help - I really need to access files on this disk from the tablet.  I konw Dropbox will work, but ti's cumbersome and I don't really want some of the files to live on Dropbox.

    I would venture to say that the issue may be related to the AirPort firmware update not being compatible with the current version of firmware on your Android tablet. Of course, you probably already know this. I'm not aware of any incompatibilities between these two devices as Apple has not provided any information on this.
    As far as firewall on the AirPort, unless you are accessing the Extreme from a remote location its NAT firewall would be a mute issue. About SMB, this is automatically enabled when you configure the Extreme to share out an external USB HDD. So there is no setting to change there either.
    I have tried a factory reset, and also reverting back to version 7.5.2 as suggested in the other thread, but I still get the same message when I try to connect.
    If your Android was not having this issue when the Extreme was running 7.5.2 firmware, but is now after downgrading it to this version tends to make me believe the issuse may be with your tablet. Is there a potential firmware update for it?

  • New Airport Extreme cannot be found by Airport Utility

    Previous to purchasing this new Airport Extreme(DualBand "N") I had the older model Airport Extreme. I also have two Airport Express devices. Previously, all 3 were detected immediately by Airport Utility and NEVER dropped off.
    Last week I replaced my Airport Extreme with a new one so that I could use the dual band feature and the guest access.
    Since then I cannot get Airport Utility to discover/find the new Airport Extreme. I can ONLY access it by using the Airport Utility > Configure Other... option.
    I've tried removing all devices except Airport Extreme.
    I've tried Airport Utility by wirelessly connecting to Airport Extreme.
    I've tried Airport Utility by hard wiring to Airport Extreme.
    I've tried factory default settings
    I've tried factory reset
    I've tried setting values manually
    I've tried setting values automatically
    I've tried older Airport Extreme firmware versions
    I've tried older Airport Utility software versions
    I've tried running Airport Utility from laptop
    I've tried running Airport Utility from desktop
    I've tried running Airport Utility from remote desktop
    I've tried waiting
    What is the problem with this device/software ????? I should add that at this moment the Airport Extreme firmware and Airport Utility are both fully updated.
    Thanks,

  • How do I configure my AirPort Extreme to allow printing from my Macbook to an HP PSC 1210?

    I currently have an AirPort Extreme [model A1354] connected by cable to an iMac [3.2 GHz i3 / 10.6.7]. I have an HP PSC 1210 series "All-in-one" printer attached to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Printing from the iMac works just fine.  However, I cannot print from my Macbook [ 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo / 10.5.8]. While the printer shows up when I go to "Add a printer", I still cannot print to the printer.  When I hit print, the print window closes, but nothing prints.

    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the  AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.  
    To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try. 
    Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule 
    Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

  • How do I put AirPort Extreme in bridging mode from iOS app?

    I need to put my AirPort Extreme into bridging mode. I've searched here and the Net and can only find how to do it from a Mac. Can someone please tell me how to do it from the iOS AirPort Utility? This is a Windows and iOS device only network. I do not have any Macs and the Windows version of the utility so far only supports the Express.

    Thanks for the response, although I was a bit crestfallen at first, since I had already got that far but could not change the Router Mode. Your response did let me know I was indeed on the right path so I started thinking about what else might need to be changed. I finally figured out that before selecting "Advanced" you need to:
    Select Internet Connection
    Change from PPPoE to DHCP in the top group of three buttons
    Then continue as you described
    At that point I could change the Router Mode to Off and I'm happily WiFi-ing with my spiff new Apple router. Ah well, that's what I get for not having any Macs

  • Airport extreme, working config, visible from win7 NOT from winXP

    I've got a new extreme that I configured with windows 7 (bridging mode, hard drive, AirPort Utility 5.6.1) which is
    all fine but when it's invisible from Windows XP (SP3, APU 5.5.3).  The XP version of the APU software does
    not see the device at all nor the hard drive.  However, I can map to it from the command line with net use e: \\192.168.0.8\drive0
    where it asks me for a user name (!!!!) and a password.  I provide the disk password and my XP user name (cringe)
    and it's working fine.  I'm connected to it via wireless and I'm actually running a backup to it right now without
    trouble.
    What the heck is wrong?  I don't really want a stealth configuration for my XP machines.
    Thanks.

    Cool; I will try that. Thanks!
    I was told that the wifi card in the base goes bad after a bit; problem is: nobody sell it....and I can't really afford a 200 dollars airport extreme base nowadays
    Can't complain, after almost 6 years it is still alive after all. But I need WiFi at home; 90% of my devices are WiFi

  • Airport Extreme - Cannot join a wireless network

    I just purchased the Airport Extreme and cannot get it to find a wireless network. In the Airport Utility I receive the following messages, "Joining a wireless network….An error occurred joining the selected wireless network.". I cannot proceed past this point. When I select "manual" configure I get the same error message. I've tried repeatedly disconnecting the cable & power from the modem and the airport extreme and then restarting but nothing happens. Any advice would be appreciated!

    If you have a cable modem, you will need to power it off for at least 15-20 minutes and pull the battery if is has one as it is remembering the last device (probably your computer) that is was connected to. Power it back up after 20 minutes and connect the ethernet cable to the WAN port on the AEBS.
    Suggest you do a factory default reset to clear the corrupted settings and start over again on the AEBS
    Power down the AEBS
    Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the power back in
    Release the reset button after approximately 8-10 seconds
    Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AEBS to help AirPort Utility connect with the device.
    You will be configuring the AEBS to "Share a public IP address" and "create a wireless network. The guided setup will step you through.

  • Have new Airport Extreme via ethernet cable from HughesNet Gen4 modem. Using NetGear WN3500RP extender. NetGear asks for different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Most of what I have read indicats extender shoul have same name as main network?

    Have new Airport Extreme conneted via ethernet cable from HughesNet Gen4 modem. Using NetGear WN3500RP extender. NetGear asks for different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Most of what I have read indicates extender should have same name as main network? How is it best to configure with the Airport Extreme router 802.11ac?

    Different names for the 2.4 and 5 GHz networks are optional, but can be convenient for you to distinguish one from another. It's up to you.
