Apple posts AirPort Extreme Base Station w/802.11n Firmware 7.1.1

If you've got an Airport Extreme Basestation and haven't yet downloaded Firmware 7.1, this is your chance to do that and more. Today, Apple has released Firmware 7.1.1 for the Extreme Basestation with 802.11n. This includes all the fixes from 7.1, plus improved support for:

• Printers and Routers, VPN, PPPoE, WDS(ACL), WEP(TSN)

• Localized file naming, port mapping, IPv6, and NAS

• Improved stability with keychain passwords

• Improved support for third party applications saving files to a USB disk

• Improved support for AirPort USB disk stability and power saving, disk read/write performance, disk file sharing and passwords

• Addressed an issue where Base Station would not request a password when expected

Get it while it's hot (though we're guessing this won't be the only "new" release from Apple today).
