    Are you using the Airport utility from windows.. if so it is no wonder it doesn't work.

     

    If you have iphone or ipad try using the iOS version of the airport utility.. it is far superior for later routers than windows version which is v5. You will find all the later apple router have requirement for v6 AU in the specs.
