*802.11n draft-specification support in 1st- to 3rd-generation models. Time Machine was now supported using an external USB hard drive connected to AirPort Extreme (802.11ac model only). The 6th generation AirPort Extreme (and 5th generation AirPort Time Capsule) featured three-stream 802.11ac Wi-Fi technology with a maximum data rate of 1.3Gbit/s, which is nearly three times faster than 802.11n. On June 10, 2013, Apple unveiled an updated AirPort Extreme, referred to as AirPort Extreme 802.11ac (6th Generation). Note: A 3dB increase is equivalent to a doubling of power output. The detailed table of output power comparison between the 4th generation model MC340LL/A and the 5th generation model MD031LL/A can be seen below: Frequency range (MHz) On June 21, 2011, Apple unveiled an updated AirPort Extreme, referred to as AirPort Extreme 802.11n (5th Generation). On October 20, 2009, Apple unveiled an updated AirPort Extreme with antenna improvements.

This allowed full 802.11 Draft-N 2x2 communication in both 802.11 Draft-N bands at the same time. On March 3, 2009, Apple unveiled a new AirPort Extreme with simultaneous dual-band 802.11 Draft-N radios.

#AIRPORT UTILITY FOR WINDOWS DOWNLOAD UPDATE#

On March 19, 2008, Apple released a firmware update for both models of the AirPort Extreme that, according to third-party reports, allowed AirPort Disks to be used in conjunction with Time Machine, similar to the functionality provided by AirPort Time Capsule. On Januthe AirPort Extreme began shipping, with support for 802.11n draft specification, and built-in wireless print and storage server. Later generations would adopt the short, rounded-square form factor that would be seen until 2013. It was the last generation to retain the 'flying saucer' form factor. One feature found in most models of this generation was an internal 56K dial-up modem, allowing homes that lacked a broadband connection to enjoy wireless connectivity, albeit at dial-up speeds. The original AirPort Extreme Base Station was so named because of its support for the 802.11g standard of the day, as well as for its ability to serve up to 50 Macs or PCs simultaneously. NTFS-formatted drives are not supported.ДЄirPort Extreme models by generation Original generation Performance for the same disk connected directly to a computer would be 6.6 to 31.6 MB/s for writing and 7.1 to 37.2 MB/s for reading. Depending on the setup and types of reads and writes, performance ranges from 0.5 to 17.5 MB/s for writing and 1.9 to 25.6 MB/s for reading. This is due to the processor speed on the AirPort Extreme. The performance of USB hard drives attached to an AirPort Extreme is slower than if the drive were connected directly to a computer. Users may also connect a USB hub and printer.

The AirPort Disk feature allows users to plug a USB hard drive into the AirPort Extreme for use as a network-attached storage (NAS) device for Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows clients.

Runs VxWorks Operating System by WindRiver or a customized version of NetBSD.

USB 2.0 interface for disk and printer sharing.

4 Ethernet ports (3 LAN ports, 1 WAN port) - all ports are gigabit Ethernet on newer versions.

Fully featured 802.11ac Wi-Fi base station.

Bloomberg News noted that 'Apple rarely discontinues product categories' and that its decision to leave the business was 'a boon for other wireless router makers.' Features Overview In 2018, Apple formally discontinued both products, exiting the router market. In approximately 2016, Apple disbanded the wireless router team that developed the AirPort Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme router. The 2013 802.11ac model was re-packaged into a more vertical case, taller than it is square. From 2007 to 2013 the Extreme was packaged in a rounded-rectangle white plastic housing, similar in layout and size to the Mac mini or earlier Apple TVs. The earliest models were packaged similar to the original AirPort Base Station, in a round housing known as the 'flying saucer'. The AirPort Extreme has gone through three distinct physical forms.

#AIRPORT UTILITY FOR WINDOWS DOWNLOAD UPGRADE#

In 2013, a major upgrade added 802.11ac support and more internal antennas.

Several minor upgrades followed, mostly to change antenna and power in the Wi-Fi. With the addition of the even faster Draft-N standards in early 2009 this naming was dropped, and from then on only the gateway has been known as the AirPort Extreme. At that time the gateway part of this lineup was known as the AirPort Extreme Base Station. The name 'AirPort Extreme' originally referred to any one of Apple's AirPort products that implemented the (then) newly introduced 802.11g Wi-Fi standard, differentiating it from earlier devices that ran the slower 802.11a and b standards.
