Reverting Firmware on Airport Extreme

I have a relatively new Airport Extreme. It came with 7.4.2 installed. I recently updated to 7.5.2 and now I'm having a few problems, mainly that I am unable to update any settings on the device. I know from research that this is a problem with the firmware but the only resolution I've seen is to revert back to the previous firmware.
Given that the 7.5.2 update on this device was the first update, is there any way that I can revert the firmware? Obviously nothing is in the historical folder.
Cheers.

My newer Airport Extreme came with version 7.5.1
After installing the newer 7.5.2, I no longer have the 7.5.1 available. It seems to have been removed with the 7.5.2 update.
If you've never had 7.4.2 then it will not show up as an option to revert back to.
For some reason, there is no "Download" button for the 7.5.1 firmware on the page listed above however there is the 7.4.2 available for download.

  • 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!

  • I need the the latest firmware for Airport Extreme Model A1034 (M8799LL/A)

    Hello everybody:
    I want to flash my Airport Extreme Model A1034(M8799LL/A)with the latest firmware available..
    My Airport have a internal modem , 1 Wan , 1 Ethernet & 1 USB ports
    I checked some firmware updates, but I am not sure what is the correct update ..
    I don't want to ruin my Airport for flashing the Airport with the wrong update ..
    I only have Windows Xp computers ,, I need a Mac to do it ?
    Please somebody help me to find the update ,,
    Thanks in advance ,,

    Do you know if this is still the case? (Version 5.7 is still the latest available for the 802.11g version of the AirPort Extreme Base Station).
    I'm a little confused after the release of AirPort Base Station Update 2007-002 for Windows:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/airportbasestationupdate2007002forwindows .html
    It clearly states that "AirPort Utility v5.2.1 software supports the AirPort Extreme Base Station with 802.11n, AirPort Extreme Base Station and AirPort Express Base Station." But then if you read the System Requirements it says that you need:
    * Windows XP with Service Pack 2
    * Windows Vista
    * AirPort Utility 5.0 or later
    * AirPort Extreme Base Station with *802.11n*
    So what is the latest version for the 802.11g version of the AirPort Extreme Base Station?
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to update firmware on airport extreme card to work with "n"?

    I have a airport extreme card in my G4 Powerbook and want to know if I can somehow update that card to make it compatible with the new "n" wireless standard?
    Even if I can't, should I update the firmware and if so, how do I go about doing it?
    Thanks!
    Dan

    No there is no software update that will give that card 802.11n capability.
    Your PowerBook can join an 802.11n network as long as that network is configured to operate in an 802.11b/g compatible mode. You will not get the speed benefits of 802.11n since your PowerBook will be operating at 802.11g.
    You may want to take a look at QuickTek's products.

  • Updated Firmware on AirPort Extreme and problems ever since

    I updated my firmware on the AE-X and I have been having problems ever since. I have my MacBook Pro and two PC's on the network. Never had any problems until I updated. What gives?

    There are a number of posts reporting enough problems with this update to suggest downgrading to the previous version may be worth considering. Read the following thread to determine how to do that:

    Performing a "hard reset" might be all that's required. Try that first.

    I had this problem a couple of days ago. Near as I can figure, the drive drops off line periodically. Many people are having this issue. On your Mac, go to finder and see if the MyCloud shows up. Mine didn't last time I had a problem. I ended up unplugging the drive, letting it sit for a couple of minutes, and then plugged it back in. I also disconnected the ethernet cable(not sure if this was necessary). After a few minutes, it showed up in finder. I use Time Machine and Time Machine editor to perform backups daily. I know it's dropped off line if my Mac hasn't backed up in the last couple of days. If it's currently online, and was just unavailable when the Time Machine attempted a backup, I just let it go.
    I have the Airport Extreme base station as well. I have been unsuccessful in port frowarding with this thing. I always have a Relay Connection on the Settings-General-Cloud access portion of the My Cloud dashboard. It seems to work fine, and overcoming this issue has dropped to the bottom of my To Do list. As long as Remote Access is on, and it shows connected(Relay or otherwise), you should be good to go. It evidently isn't optimal, but then again neither are my technical abilities.
    Hope this helps. I am an average user with average(at best) computer abilities. This is just my average experience. P.S. Moving the drive while it's operating is bad...Mmmkay!

  • Airport Extreme crashes when transferring files in iTunes

    Hi guys!
    I'm running itunes library off an airdisk for one of my computers, it works fine when i play music from it but it crashes my airport extreme every time i try to edit or add music into the library. it will just say that i'm disconnected from that drive after itunes hangs for about 5 minutes and my network (internet, home network, airdisk) will stop working until i restart my router.
    i've had similar set up before with a G5 and never had an issue, but that was on ethernet, my new setup is through wifi. I've read that there was an issue when transferring large files from computer to airdisk over wifi, but i didn't see the issue in finder, this only happens in itunes.
    i have itunes 10.0.0.1 and the lasted firmware for airport extreme. I've tried simply dragging the files into my itunes and even tried using home sharing to transfer songs from another computer with a local itunes library, both crash the router. I ended up dragging one album at a time (about 10 songs at a time), it works for the first few transfers, but eventually locks up after awhile.
    Did a bit of research, some say it's might be some kind of channel interference, did a little istumbler and it only showed very little noise so i'm not sure that's the case. is anyone else experiencing this? thanks in advance!

    The fixed IP address solved the problems I was having with Time Machine and I did verify that the problem was not Time Machine but any disk access, however yes, it is possible that iTunes is having a problem dealing with a networked disk. I don't think it's the way that Apple really intended it to work, with the iTunes library on a networked disk, however you might be able to come up with some work arounds to make it work. Here's some suggestions if the fixed IP does not solve the problem:
    Copy files you want to import to the drive first using the Finder. Put the files in the folder where all your music is automatically sorted if you have "copy to iTunes folder" and "organize iTunes folder" selected in preferences. What you should have now is all the artist named folders and then the new music all listed in this directory. Sort the window in list view so all the music and the folders are separated to make it easier to select the music. Now drag the music into iTunes. If it's in this folder, the files should not be copied into iTunes. They should just get linked to and then moved into their proper folders. It would also help diagnosing the problem if you could find out whether copying the same files using the Finder did work, so you would be looking for a work-around and also further diagnosing exactly what the problem is.
    If you have an external USB drive, you could use that instead and plug it into the Time Capsule for access, but into the computer just when you need to manage/add to the media on the drive.
    Another problem you are likely to come across is if you attempt to play back video content, especially HD content. I don't think iTunes expects the media to be on a network drive and therefore does not buffer sufficiently to play the content smoothly like it does if you were streaming the media to an AppleTV, for example.

  • Reverting the Airport Extreme's firmware

    How do I revert the firmware version of my Airport Extreme from 7.4.2 back to 7.4.1 (the version is came with)? I updated the firmware this morning and my connection has been pathetic ever since.

    To revert to an earlier version of firmware, you would do the following:
    o Launch Airport Utility (located in /Applications/Utilities)
    o Hold the Option key and choose Check for Updates.... From the AirPort Utility menu,
    o Select the firmware version you want to downgrade to.
    o Click Download.
    o Select your base station then choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu.
    o From the Base Station menu choose Upload Firmware....
    o Select the appropriate firmware version, and then, click OK.

  • 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 7.1 Firmware Upgrade - problems with Airdisk

    I recently upgraded the Airport Extreme firmware from 7.0 to 7.1 but have experienced several problems.
    After the initial upgrade, I encountered a double NAT warning, which was fixed by switching into Bridge mode, followed by an invalid IP address warning. I rebooted the AE and the warning disappeared.
    Connecting to the wireless network is ok, except that it can never remember my connection (which is a closed WPA2 Personal network) and I have to manually re-connect every time I switch on the nac - with my previous Airport Express this would remember the network and re-connected automatically.
    Worst of all however is that I can no longer see my AirDisk - a LaCie 500 GB USB HD connected to the AE.
    The disk name is simply upper case ASCII and so I cannot understand why this is occurring. It worked perfectly using version 7.0. Has anyone else had these problems or aware of a workaround?
    MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo)   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    The 7.1 update has caused problems for many many people.
    What I did to solve problems was to revert back to 7.0. here's a link to a post I made over at jmacrumors.com explaining how to do it:
