Q: airport firmware 7.6.3

I find it odd that a firmware update is available yet no mention of it is made anywhere on apple.com

Might be a few clues here:

Apple releases AirPort Utility 6.2 for Mac with expanded guest Wi-Fi support

I find it odd that a firmware update is available yet no mention of it is made anywhere on apple.com

Open AirPort Utility 6.1 and click on one your Apple routers. Firmware 7.6.3 is available for download.

I'm aware that the update is available, I'd just like to know what it changes before I install it.

See the link that I provided above on new features in AirPort Utility 6.2 which tie into firmware 7.6.3.

Nothing from Apple yet on 7.6.3.

Looks like a couple of interesting & highly desired updates:

• Support for extending the guest network
• Support for adding WPS-capable Wi-Fi printers

Thank You.

No problem at all.

Just updated 5 base stations (Express,Extreme  & Express2) - Also iPod,iPad and OS X Utility - all uneventful

This update broke my network.

I still have internet on my iMac (through Ethernet) but can't connect to my Wi-Fi network on my MacBook/iPad/iPhone, even though I can see it. Also, my Time Capsule and Airport Express appear as missing in the Airport Utility.

Tried resetting my Time Capsule but it does nothing (it's "stuck" with a green light). Tried unplugging and plugging back in, the Airport Utility recognizes it for a little while, and then it goes missing again.

Ideas?

Anyone else experiencing this?

rolling back to 7.6.2 my wi-fi spped droped from 300mbps to 144mbps, it's only mine?

I also noted a speed decrease when the internet was working, severe problems with broken internet service intermittently, required factory reset of all Airports.

How do you roll back? Might come to that eventually if this problem rears its ugly head again.
