How Do I Find Out What Generation Extreme I Have and Then What?

I just "inherited" an Airport Extreme and I want to try it in my new place to see if it provides better performance than the cheezy G class WIFI built in to the router from my ISP.
I have the hardware but no documentation or software.  It was years ago that I set this thing up the first time.
On the back I see the Model number is A1143
At the risk of looking really stupid what do I do now?
I can can plug in the power and the ethernet from the modem.  Now ...
Do I need to update firmware?
What Drivers / software do I need?
Where will I find the "how to" steps I need to make the Extreme my WIFI router?
Bla Bla Bla
Any and all advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

On the back I see the Model number is A1143
You have a 2nd Generation AirPort Extreme
At the risk of looking really stupid what do I do now?
You might want to download the setup manual. http://support.apple.com/manuals/#airport
What Drivers / software do I need?
You need AirPort Utility 5.5.3 to configure the AirPort Extreme.  http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
Do I need to update firmware?
AirPort Utility will prompt you if a firmware update is available
Where will I find the "how to" steps I need to make the Extreme my WIFI router?
Click "Continue" when you open AirPort Utility to start the step by step guided setup.

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi?

    How do I find out the exact path of each and every file that LabVIEW finds and loads into memory for a given top level vi? There is probably a trivial, easy way to get this info, but I have not yet found it!  Thanks..

    Or if you want to grab all the paths programatically, try the attached VI.
    Open the top level that you want all the paths from and close all others, then open the
    attached and run it. It will return an array of all the VIs that the VI
    in question uses, including vi.lib VIs. You can filter these as well if
    you like.

    Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.

    How do I find out my password to back up and restore my new iphone 6? Its not the same as my iTunes password..

    I am guessing you are talking about an encryption password that you placed on the backup you put into iTunes on your computer.
    If so, you elected to encrypt your iPhone's backup.  You will need to recall that password, or you cannot access the backup.

  • How do I find out which operating system I have on the IPOD touch

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • Does VZ still have a back up to the cloud service? and if so How can I find out if I am enrolled? And if I am, what all is backed up?

    my phone is acting hinky. and thinking of a "master reset" but don't want to loose contacts, pictures and music.

    Verizon still has a backup to the Cloud service.  Its included in the more everything plan and most other plans have at least 5GB of storage.  You could find out what features you have on your account in My Verizon.  Log in and look at apps and features and programs.  Alternatively, if you are using an Android phone and some others, you can use Google Gmail to backup contacts and Google Drive to backup all other files pics music and videos.  You can also back up your content to your PC.  DropBox and OneDrive are other alternatives with storage space.  Gmail gives you 15GB and OneDrive 15-30GB.

  • How can I find all locked layers (visible or not) and then Unlock All at once?

    OK, for anyone who cares here's the scenario.
    I was on a tight deadline. I got a massively layered, -- nested folders everything --  .psd
    I'm using Photoshop CS 5.5
    I only needed the visible layers.  So, I go to "Delete Hidden Layers" right? Ooops it was grayed out, I could not use it -- Ahhh that was because of the locked layers...
    No problem. Ugh wait.
    Then I realized -- in the complicated layer structure I had to go through every single folder, open it, look for a locked layer and unlock it (nested folders inside of nested folders etc.). If the layer was not visible and it was locked, I had to first turn it to visible, then unlock it, and then turn it off again.
    Aaaarrggghhh I was on a deadline, and I just didn't have time -- but I had to do it anyway.
    This was a painful experience... I'm telling designers from now on NEVER SEND ME A PSD WITH LOCKED LAYERS AGAIN
    It would have been so much easier if I could just search for "locked layers", and "unlock all."
    Does anyone know of a solution? Probably something I should have known years ago, or maybe a feature request?
    Thanks!!!
    :B

    This feature is now available in Photoshop CS6. Layers panel has a layer filter option that simplifies the workflow and is designers dream come true! Please see screenshots below:

  • I belive somebody sent a virus to my iphone 4 how can i find out if my phone is infected and has a virus and what app are on my device also if there were any devices sent and removed from anthor phone

    my phone had 50% battery life and currently on the charger all of a sudden the phone powered completely off and will not power on or reboot I want to how i can look up what applications have been sent to my device

    iPhone do not get virus unless your iPhone is hacked/jailbroken.
    All 3rd parties apps run in a secured sandbox.
    iPhone battery if you haven't replaced it, is a few years old.
    You may need to re-calibrate the battery indicator.
    Charge to full using wall power adapter, play some graphic intensive game or similar till it switches off by itself, then charge it to full again.
