AirPort Admin Utility Current Version?

I currently have AirPort Admin and Setup Utilities V4.2 and AirPort Utility 4.1.1. I tried to install AirPort Base Station Update 2007001 but was told it would update AirPort Utility to V 5.7 only if I have V5.0 already installed. I have looked for V5.0 on the Apple sites but can't find it. My AEBS is 802.11 b/g, if that matters.
What am I missing here?
Thanks, in advance, for any help.
Mac G4, iBook and Airport Extreme Base Station   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

If you do not have an AIrport Extreme 802.11n that means you don't have Airport Utility 5.1. The Airport Utility comes on the disk that comes with the new 802.11n which I think is version 5.0 then will be updated by the Apple Update Program.
Therefore you use Airport Admin Utility to administer your system which I think is V4.2.5 and the old 802.11g Extreme.

  • Can I connect an A1084 model Airport Express using current version of Airport Utility

    Can I connect an A1084 model Airport Express using current version of Airport Utility?

    You will need an older 5.x version of AirPort Utility to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.  That would mean that you need to have....or be able to borrow for 10-15 minutes......a Mac running Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x), or a PC with AirPort Utility installed on the device.

  • Configuration Error with Airport Admin Utility. Where is the newer version?

    I am trying to make a change in Airport Admin . I am getting a pop-up saying
    "Configuration Error" This version of Airport Admin Utility does not support this base station. You can't update the software for this base station, but you may be able to make configuration changes to it". ...
    It says go to apple.com/support to locate a newer version - but I can't find one.
    Does anyone know where it is?

    Your first post indicated that you were using "AirPort Admin Utility".
    If you have the new square 802.11b/g/n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) ou don't want to use that.
    Instead you want to use "AirPort Utility".

  • Need newer version of airport ADMIN utility

    I have set up a brand new AExp (n) OK using Airport Utility 5.3.2. Now I'd like to create a profile, and find out the IP numbers of other devices on my LAN (it'll surely do that won't it?). But the version of Airport ADmin utility that was installed with the software from the CD is Version 4.2. When I start it I get the message that it can't update software properly and to go to the support site and get a new version, and then it hangs. Thanks Apple for the consistent package. But I must be stupid because I can't find anywhere on the support site to get a newer version. Any ideas where and what?

  • Reissue:  Connection Timed Out and Airport Admin Utility Issues

    I put this post last November, but no one seemed to have a solution to it, so I thought I would try again...
    Our lab has and Airport Extreme (802.11g). Intermittently (once a week to a couple of times a day) our airport extreme will stop allowing new connections. Here's what appears to happen. The airport still appears in the the list of networks in the airport icon in the menu bar (ie it still broadcasts SSID), but when I try to connect it whirls for a while and then says connection timed out. If I go to the Airport Admin Utility the base station doesn't appear there even though all of the rest of the ones on our network do (I should at this point, mention that we have both ethernet and WiFi layers on our network--the base station operates as an access point in bridge mode). The only solution is to power cycle the base station. A couple of extra tidbits.
    * Base station firmware is current at version 5.7.
    * We never have more than about 8 users connected to the base station.
    * This inability to connect is independent of what computer is trying to connect and even occurs with iPod touches.
    * This problem has occurred for a couple of years (multiple firmware versions).
    * I also have similar problems on a network at home that has the new Airport express/extreme N arrangement on a cable internet connection.
    * Sometimes this seems to fix itself after 30 minutes or so of just ignoring it. Other times it does not.
    * The restoration of the ability of the airport to accept connections after the power cycle is always immediate.
    * We only have 6-10 connections, less than the max supported.
    * The Airport usually continues to work for those computers that are connected to it before it stops allowing connections.
    So couple of questions:
    1) Do other people see this problem?
    2) Is this some problem with the WAN network connection impairing the ability of the base station to establish WiFi connection that eventually resets itself after something times our or resets?
    3) Any suggestions as to what to do about it?

    Two reasons I don't think that this is likely the issue. Both are based on my assumptions about how noise would affect the working of a WAP. If these assumptions are erroneous, please let me know.
    The first is that I have tried both automatic channel selection and manual channel assignment based on an unused channel that was several channels away from other WAPs. Kind of circumstantial since other devices can emit noise in the same region of the spectrum (our phones are 5.8GHz and the microwave is no where near the base station.
    The second though, is that I can stand literally a foot away from the base station with my notebook or iPod touch and still have the same problem. It would seem the the noise would have to be enormous to interfere with a device that close the the base station. Also, why would the other connected devices continue to work?
    In the interest of providing a complete picture, I would say I have thought quite a lot about whether noise is a problem. This base station is installed in a lab, with lots of electrical equipment whirring away and to make matters worse, the base station itself needed to be installed right next to (Within inches) a circuit breaker box. I winced when I did this.
    Interestingly, the thing normally does work and the signal strength & signal to noise (reported by airport utility) and transfer rates are quite good when you can connect.
    Thanks,
    Michael

    Yes, I have the exact same problem.
    It's intriguing because I share the connection with my landlord who is often away. The base station is connected in his suite and we seem to never have any problem when only my wife and I are connected on it. I use a iMac 21.5" and my wife a 13" White MacBook (5.2). When he is home (about 1 week per month), that's when the connection will randomly disconnect exactly as you described. He uses a iMac 24" and occasionally an old iBook.

  • Airport Admin Utility Problem: Configuration error

    I just bought an Airport Extreme 802.11n. Installed the program, checked for updates, setted up, everything is working fine.
    Except, the AirPort Admin Utility. Everytime I open the program and select Config, it pops up with a window that says Config Error: This version of AirPort Admin Utility does not support this base station. You can't update the sofware for this base station, but you may be able to make confiuration changes to it.
    And this window does not go away when I click continue. But I am able to change password and select any of the options that is showing on the current screen. But the error window does not go away.
    I need to get into the Port Mapping window but this error window is blocking it. Please Help.

    On mine there was a previous Airport Admin Utility App. This one was pre-installed and doesn't work with my new AirPort Extreme BS. There is another App called, "Airport Utility" that was installed from the new DVD and it works w/ the new Airport Extreme BS.

  • Airport Admin Utility wont see ABS "Snow"

    Hi.
    The Airport Admin Utility (v 4.1.1) and the Airport Setup Assistant (v 4.1.1) , and the Airport Setup Assistant for "Snow" or "Graphite" (v 3.4.3) and the Airport Management Utility (v 1.0) won't see my "Snow" Base station. I have Mac OS 10.4.1 on my G5.
    My Powerbook, which is upgraded to 10.4.2 with updated Airport 4.2 software installed will not see the base station with any of these utilities either.
    My Ruby iMac, which is attached to the Airport base station via an ethernet cable running Mac OS 10.1 (I think) sees the base station without problem.
    The networks themselves are visible (I have two DSL connections temporarily and have the newer DSL temporarily hooked up with the Westell Versalink wireless modem that comes with a Verizon account). Airport sees and connects thru to either network, but I can't see the Apple base station. I have no idea whether I should be able to see the Westell modem, but that's immaterial.
    - The DSL modem is connected to the WAN port on the Airport Base Station.
    - I don't have "Block UDP Traffic" selected in the Sharing Control Panel
    - the network names appear in the "Preferred Networks" tab in Networks
    - the network names appear in Internet Connect
    - the networks appear in the dialog text field at the beginning of Diagnostics
    The G5 has Airport Extreme card and the Powerbook has an older Airport card.
    Is this some wierd marketing deal on Apple's part to make me buy a new base station? Can't I make this work?
    I've done a lot of reading in Discussion, Knowledge base and the usual Mac sites and I can't find the exact problem, nor can I find a solution.
    (Oh help me Obi Wan, You're My Only Hope. )
    Anybody got a clue how to see the Base Station?
    Catherine

    Hi Catherine,
    You should be able to see the Airport from any mac. All that is important is the version of firmware on the Airport and the airport software on the Mac. I suggest that you get the newest airport firmware on the airport. The easiest way to do this is to plug the powerbook into the airport like you currently have your iMac plugged in via ethernet. Then airport admin should see it. Use the option to upload the default firmware to the base station.
    Make certain the all macs that you use to administer the airport have the newest version of airport software.
    As for the Westell, airport software will not see that. You will likely only be able to administer that through a web browser.

  • "Configuration Error... download a new AirPort Admin Utility" Ok where?

    I just purchased a new airpot extreme. So far, no problems until now. I wanted to reconfigure it to add a password etc, but when I select "configure" in my current Airport Admin Utility (located: Applications - Utilities - Airport Admin Utility) I get the following message;
    Configuration Error
    This version of AirPort Admin Utility does not support this base station. You can't update the software for this base station, but you may be able to make configuration changes to it. Please go to www.apple.com/support to locate a newer version of the AirPort Admin Utility.
    It won't let me pass this warning. I've searched the support pages for the AirPort Extreme but havn't been able to find any new Admin Utilities. Only updates for the one I guess I don't have. Which is weird because my MacBook is not that old. It's Intel based.
    Someone, please help.

    Me again,
    Ok, say I threw that away, where can I go to download
    it?
    I had a feeling that what I needed was on the CD.
    Dang it. I'm so used to Apple being on top of
    updates and the like, that I've fallen into the
    routine of tossing out the CD's that come with what
    I buy. Otherwise I have a small libarary full of
    CD's and what nots to manage.
    There is the place to go:

  • How can I get Airport Admin Utility to Locate My Extreme Base Station?

    In an effort to repair some network connection problems I was having with my ISP (or so I thought), I reset my Airport Extreme Base station today. I have been unable to get it back to normal since. I'm currently connected to my ISP through an Ethernet connection directly from my modum to my iBookG4. Now, when I try to re-established the old network connections with my Airport Extreme, I cannt get the system to recognize a base station. When I use the Airport Admin Utility, the window pops up and *** me to select a base station, but there are none in the window. When I rescan, nothing comes up. The airport setuup utility has been no help either. Any ideas how to get my base station back? Thanks!

    Hi, Tesserax:
    Thanks so much for your reply. I tried the direct connection, as suggested in a previous message I saw on this board. Didn't work for some reason. Lucky for me, one of my neighbors works in the tech department of a nearby Apple Store. Last night he was able to get the base station working again. I wish I could share how he did it on this message board, but it was beyond my modest understanding. Again, thanks for taking the time to reply!
    Best, Kevin

  • How can I get AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 to work with OS10.6?

    I've upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS and now AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow 4.2.5 won't run. Any suggestions on how to either run this utility or otherwise get access to my old Snow Dual Airport via another method? Airport Utility doesn't see the device, despite repeated scans. My computer and iPad connect no problem to the device, but both iPod and iPhone won't take and hold an IP address. (If any one can help me solve this issue, I can live without access the Airport.)
    Thanks,

    Unfortunately, you will need another Mac running a much earlier version of OS X to be able to install AirPort Admin Utility and make any settings chances to the router.
    Since the normal life of a wireless router is around 5-6 years of use, now might be the time to consider a new router that will provide far better performance than the older Graphite/Snow AirPort.

  • Airport Admin Utility Error

    I just bought a new G5 with the new Airport Extreme and upgraded to OS X 10.4.9 because I was getting a "Configuration" error when running the Airport Admin Utility. The error reads "Configuration Error, This version of Airport Admin Utility does not support this base station." I went the the apple support site and downloaded an update to the airport extreme software.
    The problem was not solved. While I can connectivity through ethernet on one machine, the airport's light is flashing amber and I have no wireless connectivity. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks

    Airport Utility is for the new Airport Extreme although one can use it to setup an Express to a point.
    The Airport Admin Utility does not work with the new Extreme router.
    When you install the Airport software from the CD you received when you bought the router it does not overwrite the older Airport software.

  • AirTunes not working, no Music tab in Airport Admin Utility

    Suddenly today after a year and a half of use, I noticed that I had no remote speakers in iTunes. A trip to the Airport Admin Utility revealed no music tab. After resetting the AE (hard, and factory default), I get the same result, no Music tab in Admin Utility and no AirTunes remote speakers in iTunes. USB printer and WDS work fine. Anyone else experience this?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I have the latest version of Admin Utility (4.2) and the latest version of AE firmware (6.3). It has been working forever, I listen to streaming audio through AE every day. It is very odd that the music tab is missing from the admin utility when I try to configure the Airport Express. Like I said I tried every reset option and reloaded the firmware but I don't know what else to try. I would hate to give in to the fact that it's a hardware issue...

  • Configuration error on Airport Admin Utility

    Just bought an airport extreme 802.11n. Loaded the software that came with it, then when I try to use the Airport Admin Utility, I get a "Configuration Error" that says this version of the utility does not support this base station. You can't update the software for this base station, but you may be able to make configuration changes to it. Please go to apple.com/support to locate a newer version of the utility.
    So, I did that, downloaded, mounted, installed, and it doesn't see the base station. So, I manually entered the ip and password, and it would not update the utility.
    I'm getting an amber blinking light, so I need to use the utility to change settings and get it running properly.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for any help,
    Cindy

    Duane, Thanks! I just now figured that one out. Now I'm green across the board - even with my son's XBOX live! YAY!
    Thanks.
