Apple has just released AirPort Base Station 7.6.7 firmware for download, which is “recommended” for all Apple 802.11n Wi-Fi base stations including AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule. Yes, Apple still does have engineers working on firmware for their AirPort devices!
The update fixes the following issues:
- Fixes an issue which may prevent communication between clients on the same network
- Improves performance with an extended guest network
- Addresses potential naming conflicts with Bonjour Sleep Proxy
To update your AirPort product, launch AirPort Utility on your Mac or iOS, navigate to your device, then click update firmware.

Maybe this will allow me to use my Airport Express to extend my network from my Extreme without it dropping to molasses speed after two days for no reason… time to dust it off and see if it works. Or not.
Hoping Apple things “just work” is so 2009
AExtreme: 7.7.4 to 7.7.7 and AExpress: 7.6.4 to 7.6.7… What happend to versions .5 and .6?? Never got update warning for those even when I force the Airport utility to check for updates! I’m not touching those updates before at least a week: too “big step” for my blood!
I’m at 7.7.7 right now and so far…no issues that I can see of (yet!).

I have an airport Extreme 5th generation on 7.6.4.
I don’t see any update available, Airport utility on IOS says software is up-2-date. Also on OSX no sign of a new firmware version. Any idea ?
