How to update the firmware on your Apple Airport Express router

First, you'll want to be sure no one's accessing data through your
AirPort devices. If any of your AirPorts are used to share an internal
or external hard drive, make sure no one's accessing that data when you
update. (This is most likely to come up if one of your computers is
backing up to or restoring from an AirPort Time Capsule.) Anyone reading
or writing data to that drive will be abruptly disconnected when the
firmware updates, which can be a problem.After that, just fire up your AirPort Utility for iOS, OS X or Windows. (If you're not sure where it is, just do a search for "airport utility" to find it.) The app will check for updates automatically when opened and will tell you if any of your devices have an update available. To install the update, select your AirPort device and click "update." For those of you managing AirPort from your iPhone or iPad, the process is a little different: you'll tap the device, then "version," then select "download and install."
Give the update time to install and you're all set to face the internet without fear! And, of course, remember to check for firmware updates regularly—the AirPort Utility checks automatically once a week—because they're often important.
