Updating AirPort Software

Apple periodically updates AirPort software. It is recommended that you update your
AirPort Extreme to use the latest software. To download the latest version of AirPort
software, go to www.support.apple.com/airport.

You can select the “Check for updates when opening AirPort Utility” checkbox, or the
“Check for updates” checkbox in AirPort preferences. If you select the “Check for
updates” checkbox, choose an increment of time, such as weekly, from the pop-up
menu to automatically check for updates.

AirPort Extreme Placement Considerations

The following recommendations can help your AirPort Extreme achieve maximum
wireless range and optimal network coverage.
 Place your AirPort Extreme in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as

large pieces of furniture or walls. Try to place it away from metallic surfaces.

 If you place your AirPort Extreme behind furniture, keep at least an inch of space

between the AirPort Extreme and the edge of the furniture.

 Avoid placing your AirPort Extreme in areas surrounded by metal surfaces on

three or more sides.
