[Apple Support] Airport Extreme Base Station Firmware 7.3.1

For a solid month, I had all sorts of problems with my Apple Airport, especially when it came to using a connected USB hard drive with Time  Machine.  I found that downgrading to firmware version 7.3.1 gave me connection stability for the USB drive connected to the basestation and it allowed me to use the drive with Time Machine.

After searching through my MacBook’s disk, I finally found the Airport Extreme Base Station Firmware 7.3.1.  There has been some lively discussion about this topic on the Apple Support site.  Please note that some people experienced settings problems after reverting to version 7.3.1.

      No problem! I hope that Apple comes out with a new firmware version to correct some of these problems…
