Polygon Rabbit

I was flying back from Sacramento International Airport (SMF) earlier today after an eventful Thanksgiving. One thing that always catch my eye on this airport is the giant Polygon Rabbit at Terminal B.

Wrong Product Image

TUAW or The Uninformed Apple Weblog has done it again. Michael Grothaus uses the wrong AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule image on the recent post. The post contains the current 802.11ac models of AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule while referencing to the 802.11n AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.4.

It wouldn’t be a big deal for the product image mix-up if not for a site that called itself “The Unofficial Apple Weblog” and not knowing Apple Product.

TUAW clueless about Apple AirPort Model

Now, these are the correct images for 802.11n AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule:

AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.6.4

Apple has released AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.6.4.

This update is available for all Apple 802.11n Wi-Fi base stations including AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and AirPort Time Capsule. It contains fixes that:

  • Resolve an issue that may cause AirPort Time Capsule to report that the backup disk is in use
  • Resolve an issue that may cause an IPv6 Tunnel error
  • Resolve an issue that may intermittently cause a loss in Wi-Fi connectivity with iOS devices

Note: This firmware update is for all 802.11n AirPort base stations.

One of the Time Capsule I have been using was having issues with some iOS devices. I hope this update would fix the issue.
