Airport Extreme Update
by: George Starcher, Associate Editor
I talked a while back in the show about the Airport Extreme. One of the issues was by default the IPv6 was not blocked. The v7.1 latest firmware fixed that. More importantly to me I found that it fixed another issue I was having. At random times I would lose authentication to the shared USB drive I have on the Extreme. Ever since I performed the firmware update that problem has gone away. Now if they will just come out with one for the AppleTV to fix the sporadic problem I have of it losing my place in podcasts.
If you are interested in seeing how I used a combination of Airport Extreme’s, AppleTV and even MS Media Center in my home you can check out my home network diagram over on the Friend’s in Tech blog.
