The new AirPort Express Base Station added dual-band 802.11n support, dual Ethernet ports, and redesigned the case to look like a white version of the Apple TV.

Along with AirPort Utility 6.1, Apple also released Airport Utility 5.6.1 for Mac and Windows with support for the dual-band AirPort Express. The older version of AirPort Utility gives users the option of falling back to the more traditional interface instead of the heavily graphic interface version 6 offers.

The updates are available via the Software Update application, or as downloadable installers at the Apple Support website.
