Hi

Can anyone tell me what the latest f/w version is for AP Express? I bought one not long ago and it came with V6.3. Airport Utility (V5.5.1) tells me that this is the latest - at least Check for Updates... tells me there are no updates for my wireless devices. However the Apple support site seems to list at least V7.4.1 and I'm lead to believe that there is a V7.4.2

What is the situation? Are there different hardware versions of AP Express? Could I have been sold an old version not capable of 802.11n?

Cheers

Software Update is well aware of what Airport you're using, so my guess would be yes -- you have the older (pre-N) model (as I do).

Hi Chas

OK. Thanks, I've come to that conclusion too. So I'll have to buy another "n" capable version to do what I want which is extend my network via the AP Express. More expense!

Thanks again.
