AirPort: Which version of firmware is on the base station?

To see what version of firmware is on your AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Base Station, follow these steps:

  1. If your computer connects to the AirPort network wirelessly, continue to step 2. If your computer connects to the AirPort network via wired Ethernet, skip to step 4.
  2. From the Airport menu, choose your network name.



    Tip: If the Airport menu does not appear in your menu bar, go to the Network pane of System Preferences, show AirPort, click the AirPort tab, and select "Show AirPort Status in menu bar."
     
  3. If prompted for a network password, enter it.
  4. Open AirPort Admin Utility, which is located in the Utilities folder inside your Applications folder.
  5. Select a base station, and its firmware version appears as its "Apple Base Station" version.
