![]() The firmware should now download to your computer and be located in your default Downloads folder. Open a web browser, and then, enter the URL that you just found from the version.xml file.You will want to compare this with the size of the downloaded file to check to see you have a successful download. Once you have the correct URL, note the value immediately after the "sizeInBytes" key. ![]() Once found, note the URL provided immediately after the location key. If the numbers do not match, click on the right arrow to the right of the search field to advance to the next match.It should be something like: … This is the location of the firmware file at the Apple servers, which you will want to download. If it matches the number for your base station, then note the URL provided for the location key.The first occurrence should now be highlighted. Enter "productID" in the search field.From the Text Edit menu bar, choose Edit > Find > Find….Open the file in Text Edit (or an editor of your choosing).Next you will want to determine the correct firmware download by reviewing the version.xml file located at: ~/Library/Application Support/Apple/AirPort/Firmware/version.xml Note: This file can be exported using the AirPort Utility's File > Export Configuration File… option in the menu bar. ![]() Verify the Product ID of your base station by noting the value of the syAP key in the base station configuration file. You will first need to determine the Product ID of your Express. The firmware versions are specific to the exact model of your AirPort Express base station. So I'm looking for someone who could either send me the file, or the link. Some people who bought it earlier have managed to roll back to 7.6.1Īs I mentionned in my message, it is possible though to install 7.6.1 if you have the file (by for example having the link given in the version.xml file). The reason is that it was shipped with this version I thin (when I hard reboot the AE, it goes to this version). In all cases, with one method or another, I can only go down to 7.6.2, wheras I want to go to 7.6.1. The list of versions I can downgrade to is exaclty the one you find in the version.xml file you pointed to me. By pressing alt when clicking on the aiport express version number in Airport Utility displays a list of versions you can downgrade to (similarly click alt when double clicking on the AE icon opens the dialog box with a new tab allowing to choose within the same list a versiojn for the firmware) Thanks a lot for the time you took to answer me.Īll of this I can in fact do within the airport utility.
