| AirPort Extreme Base Station: Need Software |
Posted by: EvieSigma on 2016-10-25 17:23:46
So I finally bothered to open up my 2004 era AirPort Extreme Base Station (5 bucks at a thrift store!) and noticed I have everything but a setup disk.
Does anyone know where I can get the setup software? I'd like to find some use for this thing but without setup software it's useless.

Airport Utility built into the contemporary versions of OS X should be all you need.

So I can't do anything with it until I get a computer with OS X on it...well then.
I guess it's going to be sitting around my little workshop until I either upgrade the B&W G3's processor or purchase a newer PowerMac that will run OS X better.
Thank you regardless.

You can also get AirPort Utility for iOS, though the latest version probably won't support the base station you have.

There is an AirPort Utility in OS9 but it may not support a 2004 base station. The iOS app is an option.
EDIT: the iOS app works with 802.11n stations or newer only.

Yeah, this one is B and G only and I don't have any iOS devices anyway. Oh well, it's not like I have a machine with an AirPort card anyway.

I've not used it, but there is an Airport Utility for Windows downloadable from Apple.

We bought one of those new in 200...7? and I probably have the setup disk somewhere. I can send you an image of it?
Alternatively, if you have some sort of PC running Windows XP, Vista or 7, you can download a version of AirPort Utility that will work with your base station. Once configured, that base station you have will work fine with OS 9.
