A:

AirPort Utility 5.x will only run on a Mac using an older operating system like Leopard (10.5.x), Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or a PC.

Do you have one of these devices?

Then, if you have updated the Mac as operating system updates became available, you already have AirPort Utility 5.6.1 on your Mac.

See if you can find it as follows: Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Actually, any version of AirPort Utility that you have installed on the Snow Leopard Mac will work. If you have an earlier version and you want to update to 5.6.1, when you open AirPort Utility click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen next to the Apple icon, then click Check for Updates.
