Meanwhile, Firmware Update 7.4.2, which can be downloaded by launching the AirPort Utility application located in your Mac's utility folder, provides Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, and AirPort Express Base Station supporting 802.11n with several fixes, including:

I will hold off on the Airport update till others give it a go - the last update borked my airtunes and mapping of all my music to my network drive due to some IPV6 issue. Had to rebuild everything and lost my playlists, major PITA..

This seems the best policy. I always feel a bit selfish doing this, but I can't afford a breakdown here either.

There appear to be so many people who enjoy installing updates as fast as possible, and I am grateful to them for testing these updates and posting their experiences here.

After 7.4.1 I had all sorts of interruptions when streaming music from my 802.11n AX to my 802.11 AE. And this was in a 1 room apartment with the airport a couple feet from the express :|
