AirPort 3.0.4 software fixes base station response issue

Apple has issued AirPort 3.0.4 updaters for both Mac OS X 10.1.5 and Mac OS X 10.2.x. Apple says the upgrade is recommended for all customers with French AirPort Extreme Base Stations or if your AirPort Extreme Base Station stops responding after being on a busy Ethernet Network.

Apple also states in its release materials "This new firmware prevents the AirPort Extreme Base Stations from being downgraded, and reduces performance degradation when connected to high traffic LAN networks."

Some users are reporting problems with the update, including disabling of AirPort Extreme functionality. If you are experiencing problems, or have other feedback, please drop us a line at late-breakers@macfixit.com.
