• If a message pops up stating that uploading the software will cause
the wireless network to be disconnected, click OK. The new
firmware is copied to the base station.
If the Select Base Station window — rather than a message that a newer
version of the base station software is available — is displayed when
you click the Configure button, your base station already contains the
most recent firmware. Close the Select Base Station window and then
close the AirPort Admin utility.
6. After a message says that the system is waiting for the base station
to restart and that the base station has been successfully updated,
click OK.
7. When the Select Base Station window returns, close it.
8. Disconnect the Ethernet cable between your computer and the base
station, if you’re using one.
Connecting another computer to
your AirPort network on OS X
When you set up your AirPort base station by following the directions in the
preceding section, you also set up the AirPort card in the computer you used
to configure the base station. However, you need to configure the AirPort cards
in the other Mac computers in your house to enable them to connect to the
AirPort network. Follow these steps:
1. Click and hold the Applications folder on the Dock, and select the
Internet Connect application.
2. When Internet Connect opens, select the AirPort tab, shown in
Figure 8-5.
