Fixing Wireless connectivity problem of Apple Airport


Issues  Repeated dropouts (Connection lapses sporadically)  Poor wireless throughput (Slow network speed)  Router [AirPort Base station included] not recognized (doesn't appear

in available networks)

 Cannot connect to router [AirPort Base station included] ("Error

joining network" message may be displayed)

 No Internet Access (router can be connected to from client systems,

but Internet access fails)

 Built-in AirPort hardware not recognized  System will not automatically reconnect to network after sleep  Weak reception (poor signal strength)


Toggle firmware ď‚— By "toggling firmware," we mean trying different versions available

from your manufacturer until one provides a more stable connection.

ď‚— To check which AirPort Base station firmware revision you currently

have installed, use the following process:

1.

Launch AirPort Admin Utility (located in Applications/Utilities)

2.

Select the appropriate Base station in the left-hand pane

3.

The firmware will appear on the right side, as follows: "Apple Base Station... "


Toggling AirPort Extreme firmware ď‚— The latest AirPort Extreme firmware version is 5.7 and this edition should be used

primarily. However, the most commonly successful solution for constant AirPort Extreme dropouts is a downgrade of firmware to version 5.5.1. Reverting (or updating to) this edition of the firmware has eliminated dropouts for a surprisingly high number users.

ď‚— Still, the astounding success with which this workaround has been applied makes it a

good option for users who cannot reasonably use their AirPort Extreme Base stations for extended periods of time. http://applecustomerservice.us/
