Q: How do I find out what the red badge in Airport Utility 6.3.6 (636.5) means?
On my iMac Retina 5K 27" running Airport Utility shows a red badge next to my Airport Extreme. How do I find out what it means?

Click on the red badge, and another smaller window will appear.
Look for an Update button. If it appears, click on "Update" to bring the firmware of the AirPort Extreme up to date.
Otherwise, look for a setting for Status, and click on the small amber dot there for another message to explain what the notice might mean.
