The iOS 5.1.1 firmware number is carries build number 10A831, and is available as a software update for both generations of set-top box. The last software refresh was iOS 5.1, (build 10A406e) and was released back in September, bringing an improved Airplay, iTunes account switching, Shared Photo Stream experience.

With iOS 5.1.1, we hope Apple has patched the issues the Apple TV has been facing lately, ranging from Wi-Fi problems to complete Apple TV failure.
