Airport utility cant find airport extreme 802.11

Bought a 802.11 today. Didnt come with a CD and so downloaded Aiport Utility 5.4.1 for windows. I am using the dang router right now since I am on the internet. Its amber light is flashing. The Airport Utility cant find any Apple wireless devices. Hmm. Help. Do I need to download something other than 5.4.1? When I put in 802.11 utility all I get back is a bunch of patches...Help.

Thanks Hackintosh. I got it going. It would be enormously helpful if Apple would list the most current software necessary for the Airport Extreme FIRST when you search for downloads. But that would be too easy.
Thanks,

AirPort utility cant find Time Capsule

I have trouble connecting to my TC. I've got the newest version of airport utility. I've connected the ethernet cable to the Wan port and plugged in the TC. The strange thing is that I'm now connected to internet but the AirPort utility cant find the Time Capsule (and the light flashes amber).

Thank you, that solved this problem for me:
Problem:
I factory reset two 3T time capsules. Now airport utility can't fid them. "No configured AirPort base stations have been found." I've performed all of the following:
Power cycled the time capsules
Restarted the Mac Mini they are attached too
Reperformed the factory reset
Configured the IPv6 in the network settings to "Link-local only"
Designated a router address manually for the ethernet port these time capsules are connected to.
FYI: I have two 3T time capsules daisy chained to a mac mini server on a company LAN. Connected by a USB-ethernet connection.
Solution:
Tuned MacMini Server's WiFi "ON"
Verified network setting IPv6 was set to "Link-Local only"
Disadvantage:
I had the MacMini Server set up as a wifi hot spot so guests could use the internet through it and access our shared server to move files. We no longer have that ability since the MacMini now has to be logged into the company wireless.

No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Airport Utility cant find anything after upgrade to 7.3.1

After a very stressful morning getting my TC working with my Express as a remote i was then prompted to update my firmware to 7.3.1. when the TC restarted it disappeared from the Airport Utility as did the Express and I can no longer get it to see either of them. Any Ideas please

If you reboot the TC and keep an eye on the Aiport Utility, does it appear for a short time before disappearing?
If so, it sounds like you've been affected by the same issue as many of us have, which appears to be linked to the recent updates. Some people have had success by resetting their TC to default settings and reconfiguring it. There's a few posts on this on the first page which might give you some more info.

HT1178 Airport utility cannot find Airport Time Capsule base station

I just purchased the new AirPort Time Capsule 2TB and after trying to set it up with my MAC I realized that the AirPort utility software was old and instead tried setting it up with my ipad that has iOS 6.1.3. However eventhow I remain connected in the internet, I cannot find any base station with the updated AirPort utility. Reseting Time Capsule and modem has not helped. Has anyone else had the same problem and how have you solved it?

Sorry, can you please clarify, and provide a bit more information?
You can "see" the Time Capsule using your iPad, but not using AirPort Utility on your Mac, correct?
If yes, what version of AirPort Utility do you have on your Mac? If you are not sure, open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen and click About AirPort Utility.
Post back with the version number that you see there.

Airport Tool cant find my Express.. HELP!

Just mended an old b/g Airport Express because the power supply was broken.
I set it up so it would extend my wireless network with the Airport Extreme and everything worked just fine. Later i tried to set up Airfoil but Airfoil could never find the Express.
So i tried to update the firmware to the same as it was, I waited for it for 15 minutes but it was still saying something like "updating firmware" in the Airport Utility. So i disconnected the power and hoped I could try again. *BUT.... Now it never shows up in Airport Utility.*
What can i do?

Welcome to the discussion area, NikeNike!
I suggest that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Express and then try to update or reconfigure it.
Power the Express off for at least 10 minutes
Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold the reset button in, plug the Express back in to power
Keep holding the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly, keep holding another second or two when you see this, and then release the reset button.
Temporarily, connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AirPort Express and then open AirPort Utility to update the firmware as needed or reconfigure the device. You can disconnect the ethernet cable after you have the Express updated with new settings and then move the Express to the location where it's needed.

Airport utility cant find my new airport

Hello.
I got a new airport extreme N base station, and i currently already have one in my study (i plan on extending my network).
the first time i turned the new airport on, Airport utility located it immediately. i then used the wizard to try and make it join my network (named Bluenet)
but then it said error. and since then my utility cant locate the new airport base station. even when converted back to factory settings.
can anyone help me with my problem? and possibly also give me a crash course in extending the network.
thank you.
Merry christmas

place the secondary router in bridge mode then configure your wireless. Either create or extend. The trick now is to get AU recognizing that new router. Try using an ethernet cable to re-find that new router.

Airport Utility cant find AE during scan, but it works...

I have my AE setup in in "bridge" mode connected to my network via ethernet that makes its connection to my d-link router via powerline adapters (the powerline adapters get over 100mbps and work very well for streaming to my BoxeeBox).
I have 2 wireless networks in my place, the AE 2.4ghz and my D-link's 5.0ghz. My iPad and iPhone can see the AE when connected to either wireless network and play music to my stereo without a problem.
The issue is my Win7 latop, the Airport Express utility found the AE upon initial setup but since then finds nothing when trying to scan. I have to manualy enter the IP address and password for the AE setting page to come up. The iTunes on my Win7 laptop also has touble seeing the AE. It worked on the first day when I had just finished the intial setup but now it no longer gives me the choice in the bottom right corner..
I dont understant how the AE works perfectly with my iPad and iPhone even while connected to the Wireless network of my D-link router (meaning the powerline connecting is not causing an issue) but my Win7 laptop has trouble detecting it automaticly.
Is there a way in iTunes to manualy enter the IP address of the AE so it can maintain a connection? And why does the Airport Utility have so much trouble finding the AE? (btw my Win7 laptop is connected to my D-link Router via ethernet when i trying to scan for the AE)
thanks

but when I pull up airport utility it can't seem to find the airport extreme.
Close AirPort Utility
Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 9-10 seconds and release.
Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart
Click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear
Just below that, click directly on AirPort Extreme
(The example below shows an AirPort Express)
AirPort Setup will open automatically and walk you through the configuration
If you want to use the iPhone......
Hard Reset the AirPort Exteme as above
Tap Settings on the iPhone's home screen
Tap WiFi
Under the heading of Set up an AirPort Base Station, tap on AirPort Extreme

Airport utility cannot find airport express

Just got new AirPort Extreme connected to comcast. It is hooked up to my new iMac via Ethernet. Went to airport utility to add on an airport express -- it doesn't find it. When connecting it says "sorry error- try again". The tried connecting it by Ethernet cable to AirPort Extreme. It connected. Then I disconnected hoping it would still be able to be found. No luck. Any suggestions? Thanks. Rudy.

Did you follow the step by step instructions that I provided above?
Tap on Settings on the iPad / iPhone home screen
Tap on WiFi
Tap on AirPort Express under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station
Follow the prompts
No where did I say to "open" AirPort Utility.

Airport Utility CANNOT find Airport extreme? HELP!

I just bought a Airport Extreme (802.11n) and my Airport is just blinking amber... When I launch Airport Utility and scan for a wireless device it comes up with nothing. I cannot get past this step to setting up the Airport Extreme. Any help would be appreciated!
What am i doing wrong? I have a feeling the Airport is not sending a signal out... is it defective? HELP.......

Welcome to the discussions!
The AirPort Extreme broadcasts a default wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx, where the 'x" can be either a number or letter. Look for this network and log onto it (there is no password required). Then open AirPort Utility to see if it can communicate with the AirPort Extreme.
You may need to restart both the AirPort Extreme and your computer.
An alternate (and probably better) method is to temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. You can disconnect the ethernet cable when you have the AirPort Extreme configured.

PC AirPort Utility cannot find Airport extreme w/ ethernet but has internet

Hello, I have set up the airport extreme to use with a MacBook. I pluged everything in just fine (PC using ethernet) but had to configure the base station with the MacBook as the PC could not find it using the Utility. However the PC is connected to the internet just fine through the base station's ethernet port.
My problem is trying to get the PC (running XP home 2002 sp2) to see the Airport Extreme using the Airport Utility in order to start configuring network printing and eventually AirTunes.
I cannot seem to find this solution anywhere. Please help if you can. Thanks!

Hi I don't know for sure if this is your answer, but with your mac go into setup again. Under wireless tab, then wireless options , make sure 'create a closed network' is unchecked. This may allow the pc to see any Apple base stations. Good luck
Can you please tell me exactly where to find the "create a closed network" box? I am brand new to mac and am still finding my way around. Thank you so much!

Airport Utility cannot find Airport Extreme

So, I'm setting up my neighbor's Airport Extreme, and the Airport Utility isn't seeing any airport, even though it's plugged in.
Any suggestions? It does not bode well if I'm stopped at the first step of setting up.

Plugged in? Do you mean into a electrical outlet or via ethernet? Does your neighbor have a wireless card and is it turned on? What are you trying to set up? Wired? Wireless? Join a wireless network? I understand if these are a lot of questions and you may not know all these details since it is not your own setup.

Airport Utility cant find devices

Very bizarre. iMac can see all devices. yet, the APU on my MBP, which is right beside the iMac - CANNOT FIND ANY!!
What the heck is going on?

Thanks Hackintosh. I got it going. It would be enormously helpful if Apple would list the most current software necessary for the Airport Extreme FIRST when you search for downloads. But that would be too easy.
Thanks,
