I have an airport express that is several years old. When I connect it for use, I get the following message: "This version of AirPort Utility doesn’t support this base station. " Is this express now useless?

The Mavericks operating system does not support the older AirPorts.


You can use....or maybe borrow for a few minutes....a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or a PC to be able to administer the older (8+ years) AirPort that you have.


Most of these devices did not get much past 5 years of age, so at this point, you are way ahead of the game.
