What to do?

Two Options:

1) Buy a new AirPort Express, which will be supported.

2) Try a workaround....not supported by Apple.....to install AirPort Utility 5.6 on the Mac using the Mountain Lion operating system and use the 5.6 application to administer the old AirPort Express. See this thread for more details:
