Airport Utility doesn't see functioning Airport Extreme Base Station

I have an Extreme (n) Base Station which serves as a WDS main with one relay Express and one remote Express. All three are functioning properly. Now I want to add a second remote Express paired with the main Extreme. However, Airport Utility doesn't see the Extreme, even when hardwired. So I have no way to add in the Apple ID of the new remote.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Is it necessary to restore default settings on the Extreme and reconfigure EVERYTHING?
Thanks.

Not yet. Hoping there is some other approach, since if I reset it and then it loses the connection before configuration is complete, I lose the functions that are working now.

For my new Airport TC I have an error this version of AirPort Utility doesn't support this AirPort wireless device. How do I find and download the latest version of AirPort Utility?

Airport utility doesn't see airport extreme

i bought an Airport Extreme to replace a Linksys router that works but with a weak range.
I disconnected my Linksys router and plugged the cables into the Airport Extreme as per the instructions (btw, i don’t know why Apple has to use the silly little icons instead of labeling the WAN connection ‘Internet,’ but whatever.) I plugged in the power. The Link light for the connection came on.
The Airport Extreme status light glowed amber.
I ran the Airport utility on an iPad. It says it doesn’t see any Airport Extreme.
The Airport Extreme started flashing amber.
I read the troubleshooting instructions. I powered down the cable modem. I pushed the reset button on the Airport Extreme. I unplugged everything, plugged it in again. I tried the Airport utility on an iPhone. It said it didn't see any Airport Extreme. I checked the Airport utility on the iPad. Still didn't see anything.
I plugged my Linksys router back in and everything works.
Huh?

Power off the cable modem for 5-10 minutes to allow it to reset. It will not recognize the AirPort until it resets correctly.
Connect the Ethernet cable from the cable modem to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort
Please go back to the home screen on the iPad
Tap Settings (gear icon)
Tap WiFi
Just under the heading of Setup a New AirPort Base Station, a listing of AirPort Extreme should appear.
Does it? If yes,
Tap on AirPort Extreme to start the setup "wizard" and follow the prompts.

Installed the latest update, now Airport Utility doesn't see Airport

I ran the latest update, now my Airport Utility claims to not see my Airport Extreme although I'm still on my network.? Any suggestions before I completely reset the AE to factory settings and start over.

I purchased a new Airport Extreme last week, I run a home network with a G5 desktop and a G4 Laptop running 10.4.10. It took me a while to set it up as I entered the wrong password for my ISP SBCGlobal. After I finally had it going I had a couple of occasions where Airport Utility did not see Airport but I still had the solid green light on Airport. I am not sure what I did that resolved the problem but I know I did a restart one time and my Airport showed up. I may have also reset my base station and re-entered my info but I no longer have the problem.

Airport utility doesn't see airport

My Airport Extreme has been working perfectly for several years, including printing through it. Suddenly, when trying to print from either of the 2 computers on our wireless network, the printer cannot be found. Further, Airport Utility does not see Airport, and yet we can still access the Internet through our network (i.e., no device is showing in the left pane, and there is a message that there are no wireless devices seen). The printer prints fine when directly connected to each of our computers, so the problem is apparently not with it. Any suggestions??

Temporarily connect via Ethernet to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) and configure the AEBS to use a channel between 1 and 11.

Airport Utility doesn't see Airport Express

I have an Airport Express (wireless G) which is a couple years old. I am staying at my sisters for a couple months while going to school and brought it with me so I could get a wireless signal in my room since her router doesn't have wireless. I tried using the Airport Utility to scan for the Airport Express but it never finds it. Can I use this utility or do I need something else for this older Airport? If it is supposed to work; what might I be missing?
Thanks

I have since done a reset to factory condition and tried again and it seems to be working now. I unplugged it from the power held down the reset button and plugged it back in continuing to hold down the reset. I think you have to hold it down for nearly 10 seconds until the light flashes green 4 times and then release the button. Then try scanning for it again. It still took a little longer than I expected for it to find it after that but once it did I have not had any more problems.
At least with it; my sister is on windows and that is another story!

The AirPort utility doesn't support my AirPort Express, now what?

The Airport untility set up my new AirPort Express just fine, however, when I try locate my older AirPort Express to extend my network, it says the AirPort Utility doesn't support the older AirPort Express. It's there in the WiFi drop down menu and, trying to confgure it from the existing utility menu bar is fruitless. What now?

Is this another example of Apple's policy of planned obsolesce?

Airport utility doesn't support my airport express

I just noticed my Airport Express isn't showing up in the Airport Utility, i mean, it shows up but there's no light on, not green or orange, just no light at all. When i click on the icon in the Airport Utility, it says this version of Airport Utility (v.3.6.1) doesn't support this base station. The Airport Express is quite old, i've had it for many years, not sure how long, probably first or second generation. It says it's model A1084, 2005.
The Airport Express has always worked fine with my previous computer, MacBook, currently OS 10.6.8, and with my new computer MBP OS 10.8.5. I used it with AirTunes to play music through external speakers on the old computer. With the new OS, it was using Air Play. The old Airport Express worked fine. I got the new computer in November. I was using a very old Airport Extreme as the router. In late December, i got a new Time Capsule. Software update was run and after the Time Capsule was installed, the Airport Express still played music. The green light lit up in Airport Utility. I played music through the external speakers as recently as a couple of weeks ago, both in iTunes and on You Tube.
I don't know why music is not playing through the external speakers now. The device shows up in Airport Utility but it appears dead and i get that message saying the the version of Airport Utility doesn't support the base station. The green light is on, on the Airport Express. i have not updated the Airport Utility since late December when the Time Capsulre was installed.
The only thing that has happened recently, though i don't know why it would make any difference, is that a few days ago for the first time, i did a backup of my hard drive to the Time Capsule, using Time Machine. I had not done this before since i got the Time Capsule, it was the first time. Other than that, i haven't installed any new software and haven't done anything differently that i know of, although a few days ago, i clicked OK on a box in You Tube and my You Tube account now no longer has any of my favorites or playlists. It's the same account as far as i can tell, i didn't log out, it was still logged in when this happened. While that is a disaster, it doesn't seem related to my external speakers not playing all of a sudden.
Is there anything i can try in order to fix this? thanks

The Airport Express is quite old, i've had it for many years, not sure how long, probably first or second generation. It says it's model A1084, 2005.
This would be an 802.11g AirPort Express base station. There is only one generation of this version.
When i click on the icon in the Airport Utility, it says this version of Airport Utility (v.3.6.1) doesn't support this base station.
I'm not aware that Apple produced a v3.6.1. Did you mean v5.6.1 instead? If so this version is meant to administer these older 802.11g AirPorts on Macs running OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard. More precisely for versions 10.5.7 thru 10.6.8 ... so your MacBook should be able to run this version of the AirPort Utility.
I played music through the external speakers as recently as a couple of weeks ago, both in iTunes and on You Tube.
If you are streaming from YouTube, then you must be using a third-party solution like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil. Is this correct?

You're right. That should have not made any difference as far as streaming goes.

AirPort Utility doesn't find my AirPort Express but wireless still works

I'm having problems configuring my AirPort Express. My main computer is a desktop running Windows XP and is connected to the internet via a Netgear router. I have the AirPort wired to the same router. I used the AirPort Utility to set up the AirPort originally but now the utility program can't find the AirPort. The wireless is still working as my macbook can still connect to the internet and the green light on the AirPort remains on. The macbook can also use the AirTunes function of iTunes while the desktop cannot. I've updated AirPort Utility to the most recent version without any luck. I assume its more to do with the router but I'm far from a network expert. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'm having this exact same problem. I am using an HP notebook computer running Windows XP. My computer can connect just fine via wireless to the Airport Express. However, the Airport Utility cannot see the Airport Express no matter what I try. I have downloaded all the latest versions of software. I have tried doing a soft reset of the Airport Express. I have tried doing a hard reset of the Airport Express. I have tried resetting Airport Express defaults back to factory settings. I have tried connecting to Airport Express via Ethernet cable attached to my router. I have tried configuring a fixed IP address in the same range as the default IP address settings for the Airport Express. None of this gives me the ability for the Airport Utility to see the Airport Express. Any help please.

Airport Utility doesn't "see" my base station now

I've got an HP Pavilion running Vista. Have an Airport Extreme base station which was working fine with it, both Internet and Bonjour, until I had a problem last week and had to do a factory install from a disc.
I had a backup, and restored using that, but now Airport doesn't recognize the base station any more. I plugged my Internet in using an ethernet cable and downloaded the very latest Airport software. I tried turning off both Windows firewall and Norton firewall. No help.
I poked around Airport Utility, tried to open the baseconfig file. It asks me what folder it's in. I've done a Windows "Search" and there is no such file on the computer.
This base station continues to work fine with the Intel iMac a few feet away. My Pavilion just seems to be missing something after the restore. Thanks for any suggestions.

Any thought on what settings I need to change on the PC to get it to see the base station?
Often, this issue is caused by either the Windows Firewall blocking the attempted connection, or by the anti-virus software doing the same thing...or, it can be a combination of both things.
Check the settings on both applications to look for "blocked" connections and change the status to "allow" the connection.
No guarantees, but this will solve the issue perhaps 60-70% of the time.

Airport Utility doesn't see Airport Exteme (White space ship, NOT THE BLOCK

Seems to be a 10.5 issue, my 10.4.11 machine and Airport Admin utility works fine BUT, my Leopard machines are online just fine and the Admin Utility or the Utility do not see the AEB--AGAIN, THIS IS A 802.11G WHITE SPACE STATION SHAPED AEB, NOT THE NEW BLOCK OF WOOD SHAPED AEB I've already read about the apple fix for reseting AND IT DOES WORK for this model.
Any thoughts out there?

Mark, I'm sorry to seem obtuse, but I remain confused. Since no one else is jumping in to help you, please help me understand.
The link you referenced doesn't seem to have anything to do with the 802.11n AEBS. That unit has its own forum and this isn't it. Apple hasn't made things easier by giving two different Airport units the same name, but since yours is not an 801.11n AEBS, don't get sidetracked by it.
The Apple procedure for resetting the AEBS that you have is detailed here. You said it works for your model AEBS which it certainly should. How were you able to determine this?
Next, if you're getting online with all your computers, and the issue is just that your Leopard clients can't see the AEBS in Airport Utility, I'd begin to suspect something is wrong with a Preference file related to Airport Utility. I don't have Leopard, but there must be a file that corresponds to something like the following:
~Library/Preferences/com.apple.airport.airportutility.plist
Try dragging it to the Desktop, log out, log in again, and see if that changes anything. If it doesn't, try the same technique with the following Preferences file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
You'll have to recreate your System Preferences > Network settings after this one.
If it mucks up things even worse, you can always drag those files back and undo those steps, but I think a Preferences file somewhere is to blame.

Airport Utility doesn't see either AXpress.

Tried to add a newer AX (A321-n type). Utility does not see either.
1084 worked well before. Need to start from scratch.
Set up 321 with ethernet cable but when cable was disconnected Utility does not see 321.

You should reset the AirPort Express (AX) back to factory default settings as follows:
Power down the AX
Hold in the reset button and while you continue to hold it in, plug the AX back in to power
Keep holding the reset button until the amber light blinks quickly
Hold another second or two and then release the reset button
It will usually help AirPort Utility to "see" the AX if you temporarily connect an ethernet cable from your computer to the AX. When you have it configured and updated, you can disconnect the ethernet cable.

Airport Utility doesn't "see" TC

I had a perfectly working TC and now all of a sudden it is no longer visible in my Airport Utility.
I have cable internet connected to a Airport Extreme which is my base station. I'm trying to have my TC join the Wireless Network created by my AP Extreme, but if I can't see it I can't configure it ... Anyone???
Have a MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8) and iMac of two weeks old with Snow Lepard.
Looking forward to your tips!!
Cheers,

Hello there,
I initially also reset my Time Capsule; both a soft and hard reset. What's the difference? Read [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728|Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ]. However, it did not work thereafter.
In the case that resetting does not work, you can try what I did to get things working again.
1. Switch off and unplug Time Capsule and modem. Leave as is.
2. Open Disk Utility. Repair "Disk Permissions", and maybe verify the disk if your Mac has been acting up. During the permissions repair, I noticed a lot of Airport Utility components were listed.
3. Shut down the Mac. Unplug it. If it's a portable, remove the battery as well. Leave as is for 30 minutes.
4. After 25 minutes, plug in and connect both your modem and Time Capsule. Power up your modem.
5. Start up your Mac after the half-hour wait.
6. Upon login, Airport Utility detects the Time Capsule, Time Machine detects the disk again and I can set up the wireless network.
If these steps don't work, then I would suppose something is wrong with your Time Capsule hardware wise, so bring it in for repair.
Hope this helps.

Ipad 4, 3 feet from my Airport Extreme. Airport Utility doesn't see anything, yet I am connected to the internet. What is the problem?

I am not pleased with the wireless connection in my house, as wireless access points of my neighbors is stronger than my Airport Extreme. It is physically the closest access point for my Ipad, my wife's Ipad and my Macbook Pro. I wanted to check the channel setting by using Airport Utility, and even though there is confirmation of internet access (posting this from my Ipad), it cannot find any Airport base station. Anyone have any idea why? Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently the problem is with the app on my Ipad. Airport Utility on my Macbook found both the Extreme and Express. Appears an app update is in order.
