How to download the Airport Extreme 802.11 AC (NOT N!) set up utility for a Windows 7 64 bit computer

December 14, 2013. Just purchased the 802.11ac Airport Extreme. Advertized for both Windows and Apple products.

Documentation states to Not use the utility for 802.11n utility.

Instructions / link for downloading the utility for Windows does not take you to the download site, more of a general site for the product.

Links to the download list all the 802.11n utility, up to 5 generations. But none list the new 802.11ac for Windows 7, 32 or 64 bit OS.


I understand the way all Apple products link to each other, and the Windows aspects may be seen as an intrusion.

But this was specifically advertized as fully compatable with Windows, with easy set up....


Help.

Please look a bit more closely at the Specifications and in particular, the System Requirements of the AirPort Extreme.


http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/


Setup and Administration

  • iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
  • Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3


Even the main page of the product sheet states under Easy Setup:


With AirPort Extreme, getting your new Wi‑Fi network up and running takes less time — and less effort — than making a cup of coffee. That’s because a setup assistant is built into iOS and into AirPort Utility for OS X.
