Apple Releases AirPort Utility 5.5.3 for Mac and Windows

[jonnyz]

Nope, I have a generation 4.

The new ones are Gen 5. Apple's old naming had that listed as SDB '2', and my post shows new SDB '3' models, plus the other file's listing which makes more sense.

Is there any update to the AirPort Express found in the code?

Nope, the only change it got was the change from AirTunes to AirPlay in the text.



jonnyz, please give credit where credit is due.

Too bad. Airport Express could be a great pocket router.

I keep an old G model in my computer bag with me. It works great for the most part. Its starting to crash a lot though. I'm thinking its the power supply. I too was hoping to replace it with a better one.

This is the first time I've had a software update that requires:

"Type your password to allow Software Update to make changes".

Is this authentic? I've been hesitant after the "mac defender" issue.

I'm calling it now - new release will also support iOS backups to Time Capsule via wifi.

Makes sense - I would be surprised if Apple omitted this feature.

Why does Apple release details of update that is so completely different from what is actually changed?

I hope it helps my iPhone 4 stop dropping wireless intermittently in my house.

I doubt it....you'd more likely see any improvement in that area from a firmware update to the device itself.

Seeing that airport express and extreme are getting these makeovers I am surprised that Apple has still not created an App that allows iPad users to access to access and setup APE without the need for a computer?
On the other hand maybe not.

Hey, Apple stole that wifi icon... HAHAHA.

In iOS5 you can set up APE/TC

It is authentic. All it means is that it needed to change some system files.

Based on the "bsUP.productName" = "Store Apple software updates on this %@"; and
"bsUP.description" = "Apple software updates that are copied to this %@ are available to anyone using this network."; lines? Those have been in there since October 2009.

The Express isn't getting an update. Only the Time Capsule and Extreme.

Exactly - I've been waiting for that functionality forever.

At the moment it is only showing them if it is a new set up so it will let you create a network and join a network but that seems about it, it does not show them by default although that could change after all it is only B1

About time too, thanks for the note.

I wondered if it were feature complete.
Barring a web interface, which would be the most useful, I always thought an iPhone app would be the perfect companion to the Airport routers.
