This is the version to use if you want to keep full functionality control on BOTH types of Airport devices. There is nothing special about it apart from it being based upon the interface for the iOS version of Airport Utility.Ģ) Airport Utility v5.6 is completely functional with BOTH g AND n Airport devices. You can entirely skip it if you don't like it. Here is a quick summary of what we found:ġ) No one requires Airport Utility version 6.0. Several of us up at Apple's discussion boards have worked to sort out the actual situation. They also released accompanying documentation that has confused A LOT of people as to what is what and for what. Summary: Apple released Airport Utility versions 5.6 and 6.0 at the same time along side Firmware Update 7.6.1 for n Wi-Fi type Airport devices. I personally have no use for version 6.0 and use version 5.6 instead. Pros: If you like minimized iOS style apps, here you go!Ĭons: Despite the simplification and minimization of settings and services in v6.0, there is no Setup Assistant and it a lot of users are finding it to be confusing as well as frustrating. But note that version 6.0 ONLY works with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
It works with BOTH g and n Airport devices. Use new Airport Utility version 5.6 instead.
