#AIRPORT UTILITY FIRMWARE UPDATE UPDATE#
I simply do not understand how a botched firmware update could brick the APE. The only physical interaction came after the firmware update bricked it.
#AIRPORT UTILITY FIRMWARE UPDATE SOFTWARE#
The ONLY interaction with the device, which had up until this point was working flawlessly for years, was through the software AirPort Utility. Solid green LED for 1 second, off for 1 second, solid amber for 5-10 seconds, then flashing amber forever. Once power cord is removed and inserted, the indications are always the same, regardless of what I do with the reset button.
Pushing reset button on APE does nothing, no matter how long or when it is pushed. Button contacts are open when not depressed, shorted when depressed.ĪPE does not show up at all in AirPort Utility (not in "Other WiFi devices" either). Removed rubber base from bottom of APE to inspect physical reset button connection with ohmmeter. Change base station and network settings, or manage advanced features such as security. See a graphical overview of your Wi-Fi network and devices. Removed all connections to APE, repeated above steps with identical outcome.Īttempted to connect ethernet cable to all ports, one at a time, to MBP and then into a port in another router. Use AirPort Utility to manage your Wi-Fi network and AirPort base stations, including AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and AirPort Time Capsule right from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. Solid green LED for 1 second, off for 1 second, then solid amber LED for 5-10 seconds, then flashing amber LED forever. No change in status in AirPort Utility or LED. Firmware updates to my AirPort Extreme now prevent the 5.6.1 version of the app from accessing the hardware’s configuration. It’s just been ‘disabled’ by Apple so it won’t launch. Perform a "soft" reset per directions on apple support. Now it turns out that the old version of AirPort Utility works perfectly. Checking out the physical APE, it's got a fast flashing amber light on. It then disappeared from the AirPort Utility app. After clicking "update" for the APE in AirPort Utility app on my MBP, it looked like it was downloading and then restarting, but then the "error occurred while updating the firmware" message popped up. AirPort Utility 5.3.2 includes general fixes and compatibility updates, according to notes provided with the update. Similar error while attempting to update the Airport Extreme (model A1521) firmware to version 7.7.7.
