I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a problem I've been having.

I recently purchased an Airport Extreme Base Station which shipped with Firmware Version 7.5 (not currently available on Apple's Site).

Since installing the router, I've not been able to transfer files using FTP, replace the AEBS with my old Belkin N1 Vision and I can transfer files again.

I have tried using PASV and PORT mode and forwarding port 21 to my Macbook Pro. The AEBS is setup in NAT mode.

According to Apple it is impossible to downgrade the firmware to a version previous to the firmware the product shipped with.

I've seen some reports of earlier firmware (pre 7.1) breaking FTP connections, and it seems the problem has resurfaced with firmware 7.5.

Does anyone have any information on an impending firmware release for the AEBS, or a 'trick' to allow me to downgrade the firmware?

Cheers,

Chris.
