What version of the AP utility do I need to set up an old APE with a g wireless card. I have AP utility 6.3.1 as I also have an APE with an n wireless card. This doesn't seem to work for the old APE. I need the window solution. Thanks.
To administer the older 802.11g AirPort base stations from a PC, you will need version 5.6.1 of the AirPort Utility for Windows.
This doesn't work for me. My APE was purchased in 2004. When I run the setup, I have an ethernet connection from my router to the base station. The update appears to work but when the APE restarts, the solid green light never comes on.
Is there a tutorial around somewhere that would show how to reset the APE and then proceed with update. All I want to do is have my APE join my WiFi network so I can stream music to it via iTunes.

To reset the Express, see this Apple Support article.
The problem appears to be in the authentication with my wireless router. Here is what I see at the router end
I don't know if this is a problem at the router end or the APE end. I do have an N level APE and have had no similar problem with that. I also have an Apple Tv and do not have a problem with that.
I'm afraid that I don't have any explanation or solution to why your 802.11g Express cannot connect but your 802.11n one can. In theory, both support the same wireless security types: WEP, WPA, & WPA2.
The only thing I can suggest at this time is to use a 26-character hex key for your wireless password instead of a passphrase (if that is what you are currently using) to see if this helps.
For example, try using: 0123456789abcdef0123456789 as a test key. If the older Express can connect now, you can change it for another of your choosing.
