![]() ![]() The switch is now a Marvell 88E6350R 7 Port Gigabit. The new processor is a Marvell 88F6281 1.2 GHz "Kirkwood", which is a popular choice in current-generation NASes, instead of the 88F5181 in the previous model. This is actually an entirely new board, with an all-Marvell design (processor, switch, radios) and more RAM. Once I got the main board freed from the thermal tape that bonds it to the heat sink blocks, which, in turn, sit on a combination RF shield / heatsink that covers the top of the router, the view shown in Figure 4 was revealed.įigure 2: New Airport Extreme Simultaneous board The previous article showed that the previous Extreme used two Atheros single-chip N radios: an AR9220 dual-band, 2×2 for 5 GHz and an AR9223 single-band, 2×2 for 2.4 GHz on a mini-PCI module. I was also wrong in my guess that Apple just slipped a new radio module into the old dual-radio Extreme. And since three-stream routers require three transmit and receive chains, the new Extreme won’t be getting a three-stream upgrade sometime in the future.įigure 1: Inside the new Airport Extreme Simultaneous Figure 1 shows only four antennas, which makes two per radio. So I broke down and bought the new MC340LL/A model to see for myself and ended up disappointed on multiple counts.Īs soon as I cracked the case, I knew that my three-stream guess was wrong. But my curiousity about whether Apple was performing a stealth seeding of three-stream routers in the the wild got the better of me. Well, it turns out that Apple never even responded to my review request this time. Introduction Update : Added link to follow-up article It took a while, but now the annoying message isn’t there anymore :)Īnother nice option in the older version of Airport Utility is that you can enable SNMP and change the SNMP community.Read the follow-up article. and click Update (it will restart and the message is gone).remove all the text in the DCHP Message field.And of course the best this is you have an option to remove the “DHCP Message”: The Airport Utility is unable to find the Airport by itself, but you can open it via File > Configure Other. Once Wine was installed it was easy downloaded AirPort Utility 5.4.2 for Windows and installed it using Wine: $ wine AirPortSetup.exeįollow the installation (next, next, next…) and started APUtil.exe with Wine: $ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/AirPort/APUtil.exe Once brew is installed it’s only one command to install Wine: $ brew install wine Just follow the easy guidelines for installation on there homepage : $ ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL )" But there is this wonderful tool called Homebrew, as they call it “The missing package manager for OS X”. ![]() There is not a direct DMG package of wine which you can install. There might be other tricks in Mac OS X, but I used Wine. The version of Mac OS X on this volume is not supported.” I got the message: “Airport Utility can’t be installed on this disk. Installing the older versions 5.4.2 or 5.5.3 for Mac didn’t work on Mavericks. So I was not able to remove the message with these apps. Also the AirPort app on an iOS device was not able to change or delete this “DHCP Message”. ![]() The current version of AirPort Utility for Mac is 6.3.1 and I noticed they stripped some features in this version including the “DHCP Message”. It was time to remove this message, since it has no use else than annoy people. When I got a MacBook every time I connected via the wireless I got this annoying “DHCP Message” message in a pop-up. I never noticed this message, before on my Laptop with Ubuntu. In my home network I use a Airport Time Capsule (4th Generation) as my gateway and DHCP server. A while ago I configured a “DHCP Message” via the Airport Utility. ![]()
