Of course, the reason why we have AirPort Utility 1.0 for iPad is so that customers who have a home Wi-Fi network but not a computer can configure the AirPort base station with their new iPad. If you’re still using Snow Leopard, you should continue to use Airport Utility 5.5.3, It requires at least OS X 10.5.7.Īirport 6 for Lion appears to be an attempt to bring visual harmony to the AirPort Utility series.

Because version 6 isn’t as full-featured as the previous version, Apple has made an upgrade to the original app available, AU 5.6.

Airport utility 5.5 update#

If you had been using AU 5.5.3 on Lion, the update will replace it with version 6. Its chief attributes are that is it has the look and feel of its iPad counterpart and is easier to use than previous versions. On January 30, Apple released Airport Utility 6.0 for Lion. But it also loses some functionality compared to the 5.x version. I thought it was great, but I only got like 5 minutes use out of it.Apple’s Airport Utility, version 6.0 introduces a graphical look that mimics that of the iPad version. It was a gift because I wanted a wireless router that could act as a print server and use an external drive (bought both printer & terabyte xternal HD). Honestly, did the upgrade brick this router? Do I go buy another one? Or should I give up on Apple? I don't have a receipt. But, as above, whenever I try to configure it, it scans and says it can't find any wireless devices (Error 4). Started the Airport Utility and Bingo, got the Dual Band Airport Extreme with default settings.

Discovered and enabled the Apple wireless connection. Disabled the LAN connection, unplugged the ethernet cable from the laptop, then enabled wireless connections (physical switch) on the laptop. Just got the 'Rescan' button and couldn't find the Airport Extreme.

Started the Airport Utility and got the same behaviour as my PC. But this time I thought to disable wireless connections (physical switch) on the laptop. Disabled all firewalls and antivirus software. Unplugged both modem & Airport and hooked up wife's Vista laptop to Airport via ethernet cable to try again. Is there a diagnostic utility I can run? Anything else I can do to help? Gave laptop back to wife, hooked up ethernet to PC and PC still gets 'Rescan' button. Every option on menu also starts the scan. Both 'Manual' and 'Continue' buttons start 'scan for wireless.'. Ran utility and could see the Base Station on the left pane. Installed Airport Utility on laptop, plugged in power cable to the Airport, then upgraded Airport Utility so it's the same version as the PC. Disabled Vista firewall and McAfee antivirus. Moved ethernet cable from PC to wife's Vista laptop so laptop is connected to Airport via ethernet cable. How would Utility upgrade change the way the PC connects to it? Not complaining, just wondering if different protocols or ports used? Need different hardware or drivers?Īnyway, just got back from work. PC connected to Airport just fine before upgrade. I haven't changed ANY settings on the PC or run any software other than Firefox to create my Apple account to report this problem. I saved the configuration, checked for and installed the upgrade.

I didn't install anything else or even run any other software. As soon as it finished installing, I ran it and ended up with the error.

Airport utility 5.5 software upgrade#

Tonite I unhooked my DLink wireless router, hooked up the Airport Extreme, installed the software, configured the network (perfectly) and then checked for and installed theĪirport Utility software upgrade (no others). Tried plugging the PC ethernet cable into different ports in the Airport Extreme before I realized that I could always access the Internet from the PC so I was wasting my time : ) Tried rebooting PC several times with no difference.

Devices connected via wireless are Nexus smartphone & HP laptop running Vista. Only things showing in toolbar are NVidia Settings, Windows Volume Control, Network Connection icon,Safely Remove Hardware Icon and the time.ĭon't have anything running that would block any ports.Īirport Utility for Windows is version 5.5.2.ĭid another factory(?) reset as described before and pressed 'Rescan' button 15 times with no change. No virus protection or scanning software.

Airport utility 5.5 pro#

Windows XP Pro firewall always has been disabled (double checked). PC was/is always directly connected to Airport Extreme via ethernet.
