Airport Utility not working

I can see a 1Tb Dual Band Time Capsule w/out problems. Other wireless hubs as well (3Com, Westell).

I'm having the exact same problem. My Airport Utility does not recognize my airport extreme or airport express.

It was marked as not being compatible here:

I thought that might be the case. How do I manage my airport extreme and airport express without the Airport Utility?

Airport utility 5.4.2 ships with Snow Leopard and should work fine. Check your version and make sure it got updated.

Some steps you might try (steps should be in system preferences help).
- Hook up to the Airport via Ethernet and see if it is recognized.
- Try to create a new network location.
- Try from a different user account to see if it is a local settings issue.

I have had the same problem since upgrading to Snow Leopard. I have a first generation Time Capsule. Even reinstalled the airport admin, connected with ethernet, etc. Could see and interact with it with Boot Camp on XP SP3, so I was a little worried as well.

Turns out all it needed was to unplug the power from the Time Capsule and let it sit for a minute, then power it back up and BANG! It was instantly acknowledged and configurable by airport utility.

Hopefully in your case its an easy of a fix as is was for me.

Best.

HEY GUYS! SOLUTION FOUND!!!

1. "Open Network Preferences..."
2. Click on pop-up menu of "Location:"
3. Click "Edit Locations..."
4. Create a new location, whatever name should do fine.
Bingo~

This is a serious bug for upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard! Hope apple launch patch soon enough to get things right.

Unplugging both the airport extreme and airport express and letting them restart worked perfectly for me. Easy fix. Thanks for the tip.

I can't turn on airport after installed SL..... Help!!!!!!

Also tried the old unplug and plug back in trick. Worked.

Thank you so much!!!!
