My airport utility scan won't pick up my router even though it's currently connected to it. No firewall on.

Oh, cool, a description section. Well, I pretty much asked it all in the heading. My airport utility won't pick up my airport extreme on the scan even though it's currently connected to its wireless network. I turned my firewall off.

AirPort Extreme 802.11n (5th Gen), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

I don't believe so. I have a hidden network as well as a guest network if that's what you mea


I reset the router and was able to work with it in airport utility. However, after closing Airport Utility, the same issue happened again.


When I scan for wireless devices, it reports no devices found even though the computer is currently connected to my airport's network.

I tried this but my light is still blinking amber… Do you or does anyone else have any suggestions? I have internet connection and this is a brand new AirPort Extreme that I just got in the mail. I have set it up, but the amber light is still blinking. Additionally, the AirPort Utility cannot detect it. I have tried to detect it several times with no success. Any tips? And I have the 6.3.1 version of the AirPort Utility application.

This thread is way too old.


Please start a new post and give details about your Airport (make/model/etc...). Describe what you did in the new post. And are you really running 10.5 Leopard?


You might want to post this in the Airport forum <AirPort>, or if you think it is a Mac OS X problem, then the forum specific to your version of Mac OS X.
