AirPort 2.1.1 Gets Better Verizon Compatibility; WAN Configuration Options
Apple has released AirPort 2.1.1, available for download on-line and through the automatic Software Update component. The new release has a number of significant improvements and bug resolutions, including:
- The latest version of the snow (dual-Ethernet) base station firmware - v4.0.7. This new firmware fixes potential issues with sending email when connected to Verizon DSL services and improves compatibility when posting messages or sending email through secure web sites.
- There is a new checkbox in the AirPort tab of the AirPort Admin Utility that allows the base station administrator to enable or disable configuration of the base station over the WAN port - "Enable Configuration on WAN."
- When enabling Internet Sharing over AirPort (commonly referred to as a Software Base Station) you can enter a quoted or hex-escaped password. This provides compatibility with Windows or other wireless clients that require an Equivalent Network Password.
- There is now a pull-down selection to create a 128-bit encrypted Computer to Computer Network in the AirPort Menu Extra.
