hello all
I basically have an Apple Airport Express Base Station 2005, it's literally new and I don't want to throw it away or sell it but I would like to use it, the only problem is that it requires an old version of Airport Utility, so does anyone know how to download an old compatible version and use it, there I've already tried but it won't let me download it to my Mac with Sonoma, maybe I could use an emulator, what do you think I should do?

The easiest way may be to use a Windows (7 or earlier?) computer for setup purposes, unless you can locate an older Mac.
AirPort Manuals and Downloads - Apple Support (5.6.1 or 5.5.3 for Windows?)

Jan has the correct answer for you. You can use the older version of AirPort Utility for Windows to administer the AirPort Express.
In fact at this time, this is only way that you will be able to administer the old AirPort Express.
