Connection to a 2007 Airport Express impossible with OS X Mavericks

Hi there,
My WiFi network already has an Airport Extreme base and Airport Express (latest generation) extension, both working well. I'd like to extend the range further by adding another Airport Express, manufactured in 2007 (model 1088).
Unfortunately, I have OS X Mavericks and its version of Airport Utility doesn't manage to connect to that station. It sees it fine, but gives an error message upon trying to connect to set it up ('This version of Airport Utility can't connect to this station.'). I tried downloading a previous version of Airport Utility, but OS X Mavericks prevents me from opening it.
Any idea how this could be worked around? Upgrading the base station's firmware? But then how, since it won't speak to my Mac?
Thanks a lot in advance, folks.

Not sure how much it will help you, but check out this link to run the 5.6 util in Mavericks: http://coreyjmahler.com/2013/10/24/airport-utility-5-6-1-on-os-x-10-9-mavericks/
The util works fine for me, and hopefully it will help you.

  • Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone.

    Can't connect (wireless) to my Airport Express anymore with iBook, iPad or iPhone. It still recognizes the printer on the iBook (bonjour), but not on my Windows notebook (work). The only device that still connects via wireless is the PlayStation 3.

    The latest firmupdate solved the issue.

  • Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. Any suggestions?

    Hi..I have an AirPort Extreme base connected to my DSL Modem and has been working fine. But I recently bought another DSL modem along with the latest Airport Express. With this one however I can't get it to connect to the Internet. The light on the Express is flashing green though. Does it mean I have to re-set the settings on Airport Utility? I.e. the old settings haven't been cleared yet. Any suggestions?

    Let's see if I can get this straight.
    You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
    Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
    Correct?
    See this Apple document:

    The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.

  • Will airport express work with 3G wirelessly without access to Y Fi connection ? (usinmg an iPad )

    I do not have wi Fi at work. Will airport express work with just the 3G on my Ipad2?

    In addition to Keith's comments, if you are asking if the iPad can configure an Apple router like the AirPort Express, the answer would be yes, if you download and install AirPort Utility from the App Store. It's free.
    I'm assuming that you have a newer version of the Express. Check the Model No on the side of the device. It needs to be A1264.

    if you do not have an Ethernet Internet connection to connect to the Ethernet port on the Express,  you can still use the Express to "Create a wireless network", but of course devices will not be able to connect to the Internet. The Express will complain, but you can ignore the error messages.
    If your printer is wireless, hopefully it is an AirPrint compatible printer. Then you would be able to print from the iPad.  Check this Apple Support document for information about compatible printers. There might be other applications that would allow this as well. Check Keith's post for that info.

    I'm still not clear on exactly what you are trying to do, and devices that you have, so if you can state your goals again....we can make sure that we are not missing something.

  • Airport Express problems with Vista

    I have read on here that people are running the express with Vista an I am not sure how? I loaded the disk and everything come up but the Airport setup assistant. When I open the Airport asmin utility it is blank. I am not sure how to get this up and running any help is appriciated.

    I have the exact same problem trying to connect my Airport Express to my Vista laptop. I managed to get around it by using the Admin Utility, choosing "Other..." and then entering the router IP (for me 10.0.1.1) and password "public".
    However after I have enabled WPA2 Security the connection does not work that good. After a short while throughput is degraded and then it drops the connection completely.
    Is Airport Express supposed to work with Vista or what am I doing wrong?

  • Can I set up to connect 2 or 3 airport expresses to have a stronger wifi signal for a larger area?

    can I set up to connect 2 or 3 airport expresses to have a stronger wifi signal for a larger area?

    Theoretically yes. It will really depend on your situation. Please review the following Apple Support article to understand what is possible with the AirPort base stations and post back with any questions or help in setting up your extended network.

  • Is Airport Express compatible with ADSL2 modem?

    I already have an ADSL2 Modem (with both ethernet and usb cables) which was provided by the ISP. I am looking out for a router since my current Linksys router is giving problems. I am thinking of purchasing the Airport Express since it gives me the option of using my printer and ipod wirelessly as well.
    I just wanted to clarify if the modem will be compatible with the Airport Express. Also, if the Airport Express can be used as a proper wireless router for accessing the internet wirelessly through my MacBook Air.
    Can anyone help please!
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I checked on my modem setup page and PPP over Ethernet ( PPPoE ) is selected. Does the AirPort Express work with this? Also, how is the connectivity? What is the difference between G & N. Previously I had a Linksys Wireless G router. The Airport Express seems to be N router? Will that create any problems. I just want to clarify before I buy it.
    Thanks a lot for answering.

  • Does airport express work with garage band in lion?

    Actually I know it can work and there are apps out there to make it work but I heard a rumor that Apple was going to allow functionaliy between the two in Lion. So my question is... 
    Will Airport Express work with Garage Band in Lion or do I have to buy third party software?

    I believe the HP 2840 can be connected either via Ethernet or USB. If connected to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) by USB, only the basic printing functions will be shared out; the scanning, faxing, copying features are not supported.
    If the AX is configured so that its Ethernet port is enabled, the it may be possible to gain all of the printer's features by connecting it to the AX by Ethernet. In this case, the printer will use its own Print server to share out all of these features.

    THANK YOU

    I am following this as I have a friend who is having the same issue and is running XP Home with SP3. He is on an Acer Aspire 3620. I keep telling him to just go and buy a Mac, but he says he would rather stay offline....LOLOL...(he's been offline for a month now) Anyway... He lives too far away for me to go and help, but everything I have advised him to do has failed. So I'm waiting to see who comes up with an answer here... I am about to tell him to just re-build (re-install windows) his PC.

  • 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.

  • Airport Express works with Bose radio, but not with my amp.  Why?

    Hello everyone.
    I have a Bose Wave Radio that's about 10 years old.  I'm able to connect it to my Airport Express via the 3.5mm jack/ RCA (red/white) cable.
    I can stream Airtunes (from my Macbook Pro) into it fine, with normal functionality and volume control, including using Apple Remote on my iPhone 4.
    Now the problem:
    When I take that same red/white RCA cable (while it's streaming good music to the Bose), unplug it, and plug it into my amp (an old Kenwood), I can hear the music, but just barely.  Even with all volume sliders all the way up, and the amp volume near max, the music is barely audible.
    I've tried hard reset on the Express, and I've tried every possible RCA and speaker connection on the back of my amp. 
    Why does the Bose work normally, but my nice amp produces barely audible sound?
    Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks!

    Based on the information in your post, you know two important things:
    1) The AirPort Express is operating correctly
    2) The cable/adapter that you are using is working correctly as well
    So, the problem is with your amplifier. You don't have the Tape Monitor button pushed in, do you?
    Have you checked the amplifer with other audio sources and cables? If you have an iPhone, iPod or any other similar audio device with an audio output jack, give that a try and see if you get the same results. If you do, this again confirms that the problem is with your amplifier, not the AirPort Express or your audio cable.

  • Can I extend my network by connecting one of my airport express devices to my airport extreme via an ethernet cable? I have CAT5 cable throughout my house but have a wireless network w/ 3 airport expresses

    Can I extend my wireless network by connecting one of my airport express devices to my airport extreme via an ethernet cable?  I have a wireless network with 3 airport expresses and 1 airport extreme functioning as the base station. I have CAT5 throughout my house.

    Welcome to the discussions, mib88!
    Can I extend the network a second time with another Airport Express...
    The short answer would be no. If you want more details, please continue to the next paragraph.
    Apple's "extend a wireless network" works just like the hub and spokes of a wheel. Your main hub is either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express is at the end of a spoke. You can add more devices at the ends of other spokes, but these devices will communicate directly to the hub, not to another device at the end of a spoke.
    Apple does offer an option which is is known as a "static WDS", which can consist of a "main", "relay" and "remote" device. The problem here is that this type of setup has two huge drawbacks:
    1) All of your faster "n" devices will drop down to much slower "g" speeds
    2) The bandwidth or speed capability on the network will drop down to only 25% of the original bandwidth with a "main", "relay" and "remote" on the network.
    Don't think you want this on your network. Your best option is to connect the new AirPort Express to the "hub" using an ethernet connection. If you can't run the ethernet cable, take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by sending the ethernet signal over the AC powerline in your home.

  • No Internet with Airport Express - Internet with ethernet

    I have achieved frustration.
    I have searched and searched the forums for the answer to this, and all I find is "reset the modem"
    iMac
    OSX 10.6.1
    Airport Extreme
    Airport Utility on iMac
    Arescom Netdsl 800 modem
    Qwest ISP
    I can connect to the Airport Express, seamlessly with the Airport Utility.
    However, I do not have Internet.
    If I take the ethernet cable out of the Airport Express and plug it directly into the iMac, I have lightning fast Internet.
    Can anyone help me out? Can anyone point me in a direction?
    Thanks,

    I don't see anything unusual with the modem information that would prevent a normal installation.
    Try a factory reset on the AirPort Extreme (AEBS) as follows:
    Pull the power for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug the AEBS back in to power
    Release the reset button after approximately 8-10 seconds
    Connect the ethernet cable from the modem to the WAN (circle icon) port on the AEBS and use AirPort Utility to reconfigure the device. The main settings that you will choose are Connect Using "Ethernet" and Connection Sharing would be "Share a public IP address"
    It's possible that you may get a Double NAT error notice. You can click to ignore this warning.
    See if that might help.

  • Does airport express work with PC

    Does airport express work with a dell laptop?
    Can one setup an airport express for the very first time using a dell laptop?

    Yes on both. FWIW, I currently have a Dell laptop that has no issues connecting to my AirPort network. I also have AirPort Utility for Windows installed on this laptop when I need to administer the base station. In my case the laptop is running Windows 7.

  • Anyone has an idea how to connect and configure my Airport express to an internet range extender which is plugged into mains

    Anyone has an idea how to connect and configure my Airport express to an internet range extender which is plugged into mains?
    Message was edited by: m. emin

    You can connect it but with ethernet cable. You can not connect it by wifi to extend the range a second time.
    BTW AE is rather sensitive to connect by wifi to non-apple wifi routers.
