I have an older (A1088) airport express and run OSX Mavericks on my iMac. I see from the online help that if I want to configure the airport express I should download Airport Utility 5.6 but when I try to do this on Mavericks I am advised by the OS that 5.6 is not supported by the OS. What can I do?
null-OTHER, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), A1088
Support for the original AEBS or any other 802.11b/g - only AirPort Base Station is gone in Mavericks. The last of those models was discontinued over six years ago. You will need a commensurately old version of OS X to configure it.
You may find links to dubious websites containing instructions for hacking OS X to make it work. Doing that will cause unanticipated future problems, and this site never permits discussion of violating OS X's licensing agreements.
Thanks John. The funeral for my old Airport Express will be held later today.
Hold on to it a couple more months. They make nice Christmas tree ornaments.
