What OS is your iMac running? What version of the airport utility?


You must use latest v6 utility with the new AE. The version v5 utility will not work.


You also need to use ipv6 set correctly to link local.. this is important.


Hidden deep down in the documents it tell you this.


AirPort base station not seen or "An unexpected error occurred" appears in AirPort Utility 6.3


The utility does not help you set local ipv6 settings or actually tell you the cause is your ipv6 is set wrongly.
