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 problem

    hello!
    once i was using airport admin utility and i've changed (or added - i dont remember) airport base station settings (i.e. IP address and password). Now i have another wi-fi internet at home and i cant change these settings back. I need to reset airport to default, probably, to surf internet.
    How to do that? Do i need to enter any IPs by default or not?
    How can i delete settings i've changed before if i do not remember my pwd?
    Thank you.

    Which Åirport do you have? Instructions for the Airport Extreme are here, for the 'Graphite' model - here.

  • Configuration error -- airport admin utility

    I'm stuck and hoping someone here might be able to help me. I have a new AirPort Extreme 802.11n and when I open the airport admin utility, a "Configuration Error" message appears telling me that "This version of Airport Admin Utility does not support this base station..."
    What's worse is that there is only a "Continue" button, and it does not work (i.e. does not do anything, including dismiss the message box).
    I installed the software that came with the router, but I get this error on both my MBP and my iMac.
    I've tried selecting the check box that says "No longer warn me for this base station", but I am still unable to dismiss this message. The fact that this message won't go away means I can't access the panel behind it to actually configure the router. The message is not modal but also not draggable, so although I can access some fields, I can't access the fields directly underneath the message.
    This is so frustrating -- please help!

    Hi James,
    The installation disk that came with your AE installed two programs to your Utilities folder. One is Airport Utility. The other is Airport Disk Utility.
    The Airport Administration Utility was already on your machine, and that only works with previous Airports. Go back again and click to open Airport Utility and you should be fine.

  • 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.

  • "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:
    http://www.apple.com/support/airport/
    See "Update Your Software" in the lower right.

  • 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".

  • 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.

  • Can't open AirPort Admin Utility configuration file

    I'm using an AirPort Extreme Base Station connected to a cable modem through the WAN port and to my G4 Cube running OSX 10.2.8 through the LAN port. I also use an iBook and eMac with AirPort cards to wirelessly access my network. My problem is that I can not open the configuration file so that I can change my settings. I get an error message that AirPort Admin Utility can't read the configuration file of the base station. I tried resetting the base station to the factory settings, to no avail. So now I also can't set a password and encryption. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    To clarify--I previously had a password protected network set up and working. I wanted to change the settings and couldn't open the config file. I reset to factory settings successfully, but still can't open the config file, which I need to do in order to encrypt and set a new password. Thanks!

  • "Confirguration Error" in Airport Admin Utility

    My system basics:

    Please help!!!!

    Since I am using Mac OS X10.3.9, I cannot use "Airport Utility".
    Actually, I try "Airport Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow" but another error message prompted up. That is :"Airport Admin Utility does not support this base statin. Use Airport Utility, located in the Utility folder...."

    I recently updated to leopard, and I started having problems with my iphone connecting to my wifi network at home. It had worked with out a problem, for months before I upgraded to Leopard.
    I started to notice it only happened when my girlfriend would come home from work (she also has an iPhone).
    I decided I needed to change some settings on my Airport Extreme but when I go to the Airport Utility and scan for an Airport it finds Nothing...
    My Mac Pro and Power Book G4 always connect to the wifi...
    My iPhone works great on wifi when the girlfriend is not in the house....
    Her iPhone seems to always have a wifi signal in the house...
    I Hope this has a fix... and soon....

  • Airport Admin Utillity 4.2 problems

    I have a small wired and wireless network: iMac G5, iMac G3, and iBook G3. The iBook uses a wireless connection through Airport Extreme. I also have a couple of AIrport Expresses for sending iTunes music to stereos. Everything has been working fine except I just noticed that I did not have stereo speaker option in iTunes when using iMac G5 running 10.4.6. I opened Airport Admin Utility 4.2 and could not see of the devices.
    The strange thing is that the iBook still has a connection and the iMac G3 can see all three devices just fine. The only computer having a problem is the iMac G5. If I manually select "Other" and enter IP address and password for Airport Extreme, it will open configuration file where I can see settings and even restart it. But, when I close everything, I still cannot see it on the device list.
    Any ideas or suggestioons as to the problem?

    Found problem. My Linksys 1-port cable router died recently and I replaced it with a 4 port model. I plugged-in my computers, printer into the old 8 port switch that I had used previously, except for the cable from Airport Extreme. For some reason I plugged it into one of the 4 ports of the cable router.
    Not sure why there is a difference, but once I put it back into the switch, the iMac G5 and Airport Admin Utililty could see Airport and Expresses just fine. Hope thi helps others.

  • Airport Admin Utility Error 6753

    Trying to add original Airport Express (for iTunes) to Windows wireless network based on a Belkin G54 router but after inputing router IP address and password in Airport Admin Utility I get the Error 6753 and flashing amber when the program tries to read router. Running Windows VISTA and Live OneCare. I've tried resetting, uninstalling OneCare, and newer Airport Utility but same result. Would appreciate any help with this.

    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.

  • Airport admin utility compatibility problems...

    Hi everybody!
    I want to open Airport Admin utility to change some security settings to my all-new airport extreme 802.11n but I cannot access the configuration panel for my router. It says it does not support this router, it also gives me an url to update it but it leads me to the airport extreme site which is not really helpful...
    Any idea where I can find find such an update?
    Thanks for reading!

    Oh, so that means that the Airport Admin Utility has been rendered obsolete?
    Well, thanks for the heads-up, I already installed Airport Utility, but I thought that Airport Admin Utility was still useful...
    Have a nice day!

  • Airport Admin Utility can no longer access Airport Extreme, what now?

    I have an Airport Extreme that worked fine for a long time with a specific IP. They sold out and the new company came in and installed new equipment. The settings had to change on the Airport. After that, I lost my ability to print through the Airport USB port.
    I tried to resolve the problem the other day. My Airport Admin Utility saw the Airport, but I couldn't access it. When I clicked configure, a window came up saying "Reading configuration from base station", then a Password login window came up. I enter my password, it says "Reading configuration from base station", then it says "An error occurred while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again.". It does the same thing whether I enter the right or wrong password.
    It started working unexpectedly for a little while. I experimented with some settings. Now I can't access it again. The Airport Admin Utility sees the Airport as 10.0.0.0, my laptop's IP says 169.xx.whatever. I thought the Airport was supposed to distribute IP addressed. It did for awhile after I set it that way, but then it went back to 169.xx.whatever.
    I'm lost. I don't know how I will ever access the Airport again. Or get my printing capability back.
    Help!!!

    Ok. I'm going to try a reset on a day where I have some time to mess with it. There are some things I need clarified for me about settings. Please correct me as needed.
    In the internet tab:
    -Connect using Ethernet is selected.
    -Configure Manually was selected before as it is now.
    -IP address: do I use their IP or 10.0.0.0 or 10.0.1.1 or what?
    -Subnet mask: It used to be 255.255.255.0 now it's 255.255.0.0.
    -Router address: What do I put here, use their IP or 10.0.0.0 or 10.0.1.1 or what?
    -DNS servers: I will enter their DNS servers.
    -Domain name: blank
    -WAN Ethernet Port is selected Automatic.
    Under Network Tab:
    -Distribute IP adresses is checked.
    -Share a single IP address (using DHCP & NAT)used to be checked, now Share a rnage of IP addresses (using only DHCP) is checked.
    -DHCP Lease: 4 hours. What is best here?
    Do I really need to worry about anything else? If the password is reset how to I access from default settings?
    Thanks, after this I should have a better understanding of network settings and the AEBS.
    J-
