Hello, I am a new poster, and am in need of assistance!
I recently updated to Lion, and am trying to set up my airport express to create a wireless network via my internet modem.
The Airport Express was purchased right around 2007, so it is a little older, but I am hoping that's not a huge problem.
However, since installing the included disk - the guide tells me to open up "Airport SetUp Assistant" to complete the setup of the new network, HOWEVER, when I select the assistant from my spotlight, I am told that I cannot use this version of the application with my version of Mac OS X (it's saying I have setup assistant 4.2).
The same thing happens with airport admin utility (version 4.2).
I tried looking for newer versions of these programs, but I am having trouble.
I've been able to download airport utility (version 5.5.3), but when I scan for devices nothing comes up....
I am concerned that without completing the "setup" of the express it will not become locatable by the airport utility, but I cannot seem to complete this setup with OS Lion.
Does anyone have any suggestions!? Or is my airport express device to antiquated to use with Lion?!
Thanks very much,
Jason
