    Use the technique described in this thread: I can't install airport utility 5.6

     

    Though it discusses Mountain Lion, you need to follow the exact same steps for OS X 10.7.5.

     

    I no longer have any original AEBSs to test. You may need an even earlier version of AirPort Utility. If AirPort Utility 5.6 cannot configure yours, let me know and I will attempt to find the correct version for you. You will need to use the same "extraction" technique described above.

     

    Edit: If 5.6 does not work try this one: AirPort Utility 5.5.3

     

    Important: If you elect to drag that version to your Utilities folder, be sure to give it a unique name. I suggest "AirPort Utility 5.5.3" This is not necessary for AirPort Utility 5.6, which will retain that name on its own.
