Apple released a firmware update, version 7.4.2, for Time Capsule and the AirPort Extreme and Express base stations. It’s a recommended update, and can be done easily.
AirPort Utility is the tool necessary to install the update, and AirPort Utility 5.4.2 or later is recommended to be installed before updating to Firmware version 7.4.2.
Once the latest version of AirPort Utility is installed, go to the Utilities folder (from the menubar choose Go > Utilities and find AirPort Utility, and double-click it) and look for the Update button in the lower right corner. Click “Update” and the firmware will be downloaded and installed for you. Your AirPort base station will go off-line for a few minutes, and after it restarts, you will have your network back good as new. Better, in fact!
According to Apple, the update provides several fixes, including the following:
Fixes some problems with extending and maintaining connectivity with extended networks
Fixes an issue with clients that enable 802.11 “Power Save”
Fixes connectivity issues with some third-party devices
Fixes an issue when the base station is configured for PPPoE
Fixes some Back To My Mac issues with connectivity and support for third-party routers
