   AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.7.2

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released [1]AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.7.2 for
   AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule base stations with 802.11ac
   that were released earlier this year (see '[2]Apple Releases
   Longer-lasting MacBook Air, Faster AirPort,' 10 June 2013). The update
   fixes a bug that prevented a USB hard drive connected to an AirPort
   Extreme from being recognized as an available disk for Time Machine,
   resolves a problem that caused intermittent loss in WAN connectivity,
   and addresses an issue that could result in a network loop. You will
   need to update your AirPort base station using AirPort Utility via
   either your Mac or an iOS device with the free [3]AirPort Utility app
   installed (the download isn't available via the Apple Support Web
   page).
