I now have Windows 8 and I cannot connect to my AirPort Express. Do I need new drivers to fix this?

WOW!!! Same here. It WORKED! I've been struggling with this for a few weeks. I have a new work laptop and it has Windows 8.1 on it. My IT guy and I have been going back and forth to try and figure this out.

Thanks!!!!!!!

I had the exact same problem running a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8.1, using airport express to extend an airport Extreme wireless network and could not get my Lenovo to connect. Once I followed your instructions to enable FIPS - it worked!!!

Thank you so very much

I am having similar issues, and cannot find the settings described in the solution.

Windows 8.1 on a Vaio

Airport Extreme Base Station, connected to modem

Airport Utility for Windows 5.6.1

I am able to connect to the internet, but computer labels connection "Limited."

Airport Utility does not find the Base Station: all items on the Base Station menu are greyed out.

I do not find "Wifi Status"

Much obliged for any help!
