Q: Airport Utility cannot find Airport Express
Hello,
I have an airport Extreme running firmware 7.6.7. Airport utility 6.3.6 and an Airport Express (model A1392). I am accessing my system on a Macbook pro. Also have the app on my iPhone.
My Airport Express and extreme talked to each other and were shown on the Airport utility. However, I had to change my wifi password and network password. After doing so, the Airport extreme restarted. After the restart my Express was no longer recognized by my network. The Express has an amber light and it blinks repeatedly. I cannot connect to the express to address the amber light issue.
I have read many of the postings on the forum. However, I have yet to find a solution. How to do connect the airport utility to the airport express?
Thanks for any assistance you may render,
Airport Extreme (1408), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Airport Express (A1392)

Bob,
I preformed the Hard reset. Airport Utility saw the express. However, refused to connect to it. I had to connect the express to my Extreme via ethernet. Update the Express to all the new passwords, reconfigure it to extend wifi. Then airport Utility recognized it in Green status as a wifi extender.
Thanks for your assistance.
