"About Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n Firmware 7.3.2

The Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n Firmware 7.3.2 updates include bug fixes. This update requires AirPort Utility 5.3.2. AirPort Utility 5.3.2 can be obtained via an automatic software update or as a manual download," Apple says on its support page.

Now remember, first and foremost you need AirPort Utility 5.3.2, in order to up your base station's firmware. Both Tiger and Leopard versions of the AirPort Utility 5.3.2 are available right HERE.

Whether you own an AirPort or AirPort Express base station, or even the Goliath of wireless base stations, Time Capsule, the package is a must-install, as it provides wireless networking compatible with most devices using Wi-Fi, including Mac, PC, iPhone and iPod touch. AirPort Utility 5.3.2, according to Apple, delivers "wireless networking that works with most Wi-Fi enabled devices, including Mac, PC, iPhone, iPod touch, and more." When AirPort Utility 5.1 or later is opened, it automatically checks all accessible Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express base stations' firmware. If a newer (later) firmware version is available, you'll be notified and prompted to download and install the new firmware for your base station.

As soon as you're done with this you can update your Time Capsule / AirPort Base Station to the latest firmware version. The Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station 802.11n Firmware 7.3.2 is available as a free download HERE. You can also update the firmware of your base station by using Apple's own Software Update (Apple Menu -> Software Update).

I was happily running Time Machine backups wirelessly via Airport Extreme since May. So happy. Really happy. Loved. It.

I just ran the update last week and it ***cked everything up. My Macbook hangs, Time Machine doesn�t work, and it keeps screwing up permissions on every machine in the house (4 of them). I also had to repair the hard disk on my backup drive.

I�m rolling back to 7.3.1 and see if that makes everything run smoothly again.

Hello,
Can you tell me if Time Machine is still not working wirelessly with 7.3.2 and if you succeded to downgrade to 7.3.1 again ?
