Airport Express Model A1264 - No configured base stations found

Hello,
I've searched the forums for an answer but without luck. Here is the background. An electrical storm this summer blew out my old modem and so got a new Actiontec C1000A modem to use with my Century Link service. It has the WPS button on the front. I have the Airport Express Model A1264 1st Gen n-model that I use for streaming music. It sits in my living room and is connected to my receiver so I can stream items from my iPhone or iPad when the receiver is in "Dock" mode.
With the new modem I can't resolve the flashing amber light. I have reset it numerous times with a paper clip but with no luck. The Airport Utility (6.3.1) simply gives me a "No configured Airport base stations have been found. Airport Utility will continue searching" message. The Airport Utility shows I'm connected to the internet with a router address and DNS server numbers. In the Base Station drop down menu in the Airport Utility, all of the options are grey.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.5.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Are you holding down the reset button on the AirPort Express for 10 seconds, then allowing a full minute for the Express to restart?
Once the Express has been reset, it will not simply "appear" in AirPort Utility....if that is what you are expecting it to do......you have to initiate the setup process.
Click on the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear.
Just below that, click directly on AirPort Express
AirPort Setup will open up automatically and suggest that you configure the Express to "extend" a wireless network. That probably will not work, so click on Other Options and select the Add to a Network option to get the process started.
Assuming that the Actiontec modem/router is using compatible settings, the AirPort will be setup to "join" the Actiontec wireless network

2nd Airport Express wont show up in Base Station Chooser, iTunes

Hi, I have 2 Airport Express units on the same network. One is showing up, the other is not. Both were working perfectly. I recently upgraded my router to a Linksys BEFSR41. When I run the Base Station Chooser, one shows up the other does not. The same happens in iTunes. I can address the Airport Express by chooser Other from Base Station Chooser, then entering its IP address. I updated firmware in both units to 6.3. Both units are configured identically. If I access the hidden airport express from a wireless PC it shows up fine but the other one does not

Thank you for your post, but I do not understand why you are giving me a link to the generic airport express site. The configuration I have was working fine before I upgraded my router.

Can I iTunes to Airport Express while surfing internet from Base Station

I am new to Macs and Networking. I have DSL ethernet plugged into Airport Extreme Base Station and Express into my stero. I have set up a network pointing to each but when I choose the Express network for streaming music, I cannot connect to the internet which is on my Base station. Is there a network configuration that will do both. Working w/a new Powerbook G4. Mac OS 10.4. Thanks for any help.

OW, Welcome to the discussion area!
Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode or KB 107454, AirPort Extreme and Express: Using WDS to create a network from multiple base stations.

Airport Utility can't see configured base stations

I have two MABs. One with AU can see base + AX and other cannot. The one that cannot is running Mountain Lion and the working one is running Lion. Both have AU 6.1. Base station is at 7.6.1. I can get on the internet, but cannot see or manage AE/AX. In addition, iPad app works fine.
Configuration is Airport Extreme 802.11N (5TH GEN) and two (2)
I have done the following:
* Hard reset AE & AX and reconfigured entire network
* Rebooted with USB ethernet cable plugged into AE
* Turned off IPV6 via CLI
* Removed keychain entries for Airport (where possible)
All systems are on 192.168 home network. Connection to internet works fine. Everything else works but this one application. I have tried 6.1 (native to ML) and unpackaged 5.6.1 and ran binary and neither one works.
I can manually manipulate and update the AE using the "configure other" option via the AU app. But, I still cannot see it after that.
Any other ideas?

Sorry, but I can connect to the Airport Extreme and manually configure it as well as booted my laptop while plugged into the Airport Extreme without success. Mind is foggy after dealing with these for a few hours.

The airport utility cannot find a configured base station. How do I connect?

I just bought a Airport Time Capsule and want to configure it. I plugged-in my broadband modem into the WAN port, but when I started-up the Airport Utility, it states the message ' No configured Airport base stations have been found'. How do I configure my Time Capsule?

It should show as new device in the airport utility..
If not, factory reset it and it will show up..
You do need a Mac with at least Lion and latest airport utility.. with wireless turned on.
Or you can download the airport utility for iOS and run it on your phone or ipad.

Airport Express Model A1088 with Time Capsule Model A1254 configuration problems.

I have a Time Capsule Model A1254 and an Airport Express Model A1264. I run OSX 10.7.4. When I try to configure an older Airport Express Model A1088 the Time capsule does not recognise the older Airport Express after I configure it using Airport Utility version 5.6.
Can anyone help please.

What do you mean "the Time Capsule does not recognize the older AirPort Express"?
Sounds like the AirPort Express needs to be reset and reconfigured.

Extending extreme model A1034 with express model A1264, Extending extreme model A1034 with express model A1264

I am trying (unsuccessfully) to extent an Airport Extreme model A1034 (old!) with an Airport Express model A1264.
I am using Airport Utility 5.5.3 on a Powerbook G4.
Any suggestions on how to do this?

Before configuring for a WDS, there are a couple of things that you should be aware of:
A WDS can only operate in the 802.11g Radio Mode. This, effectively, negates the advantage of your 802.11n AirPort.
For every base station added to the WDS, the overall bandwidth is cut in half. Starting with a potential maximum of 54 Mbps (802.11g), with two base stations, you will be getting something like 25-27 Mbps tops.

Can you use 2 Aiport Express's; one as a base station & one to extend range

I have 2 Express units. Would like to use one as base station and one as a booster to extend the signal. Can this be done, or do you have to have an Extreme? I have 2 expresses as want to be able to use airtunes on 2 seperate stereos (not necessarily at same time). My cofig would be have cable modem ethernetted to the 1st Express, and have it also hooked to cable; computer in same room. 2nd Express is downstairs, near anohter stereo. Would like the one computer to send airtunes to both stereos ultimately.
Have tried using airport admin utility ap in the Utilities folder, but did not seem to help; no doubt I may have not done properly.
Thank you to the genius who can help me w/ this. Tim

I have 2 Express units. Would like to use one as base
station and one as a booster to extend the signal.
Can this be done
Yes.
Configure one Airport Express (AX) as a normal base station.
Hard reset the second and reconfigure using the assistant to extend the network of the first, this will automatically configure both AXs correctly.

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?

Hi
Thanks for Swift reply.
Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
Are the A1088 now useless?
The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
Please advise
Regards
Sigve

I would recommend setting the wireless encryption on the AirPort Express BEFORE configuring it for the AirPort Extreme in this case. This issue also comes up often when configuring AirPorts into a WDS.
If setting up security in my recommend order does not work, temporarily connect the Express by Ethernet to the Extreme; make the security changes, and then, move the Express back to the desired location.

I have an Airport Extreme as my wifi hub and an Airport Express to beam music. All of a sudden the Express stopped working and I get the error message "this version of Airport Utility does not support this base station". All my software is up to date and

I have a WiFi system in the house that uses the Airport Extreme for a hub and an older Express for sending music from my Mac to my sound system. Everything worked great till yesterday. When I go to Networks I see the Extreme and I see the Express but the Express is no longer connected and I get an error message "this version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station". Any ideas?

This sounds as if you have an older AirPort Express that is no longer supported by the newer Mavericks operating system.
To check and see if that might be the case, locate the model number on the side of the AirPort Express. It will start with an "A" followed by four numbers. Hard to see in the faint print.....so you may need reading glasses or a magnifying class to see the model number clearly.
Model numbers A1084 and A1088 of the AirPort Express are no longer supported by AirPort Utility in Mavericks.
You will need to use a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older AirPort Express.

I am trying to hook up my Airport Express to my current network and AirPort Extreme but keep getting the same error message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information."

Is this an older "round" version of the AirPort Extreme? If yes, it is true that AirPort Utility 6.x no longer supports the older AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express models.
A model number......located on the bottom of the Extreme or on the side of the Express would be helpful to confirm what you have.
Apple probably does want you to buy a new AirPort Extreme.
The workaround might be to use a Mac or PC running a 5.x version of AirPort Utility.
A more complicated workaround would be to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on Mountain Lion. This is not supported by Apple......it does work for me.....but may not work for you. See this article for more details:

HT1998 How can I administer a Gen 1 Airport Express from Airport Utility 6.3.2 (OS 10.9). I can see the base station but get the message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more inform

How can I administer a Gen1 Airport Express from, my MacPro (OS 10.9, Airport Utility 6.3.2). I can see the Express in the WiFi window but from the Airport Utility I get the following message: " This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. Go to AirPort Service and Support for more information." Of course there's nothing of value on the support page. Any clues anyone?

Apple has dropped support in Mavericks (10.9) of the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme models that were discontinued more than six years ago.
You can still administer the older AirPort models if you have a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC.

Per chance is your AirPort Express an 802.11g model? If so, you will need to use AirPort Utility v5.6 to administer it. However, this version will not install under OS X Mountain Lion without a workaround.
The following is one of those workarounds:
Here are the basic steps to install version 5.6 under Mountain Lion using CharlesSoft's Pacifist:
If you haven't already download the AirPort Utility disk image file directly from Apple Support Download
Place the resultant AirPortUtility56.dmg file onto your Mac's Desktop.
Run Pacifist.
Click on the Open Package option. Find the disk image file that you just placed on your desktop, and then, click on Open.
The utility is located as follows: Contents of AirPortUtility56.dmg > Contents of AirPortUtility56.pkg > Contents of AirPortUtility56Lion.pkg > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6.app
Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.app to your Mac's /Applications/Utilities folder.
You can now run the AirPort Utility from the Utilities folder.
