It has made my network a lot smoother and reduced the weak areas in my coverage. I did not have much signal strength in my livingr oom before but it is fine now. Obviously this was not an issue of radio signal but of network admin. (I think)
Anyone figured out the "airport utility 5.0 required" issue? I've been playing with this all day. According to finder, I'm running 5.1. When I open it, it says 5.2.1 is available, but then, when I push install, it says there's no new software available. Argh!
ETA - okay. got it. Had my airport utility in applications, not applications/utilities.

thats what its telling me too and I said forget it I havent had one problem with mine so I am going to wait and see what happens.
Airport Utility
I hate to re-ask, but does anyone know where I can obtain Airport Utility? I'm hoping it'll solve my connection dropping issues, which are making me pull out my hair.

So nobody knows what is going on here???
In the updater it does say the Airport Express is supported, but a higher version (5.0) of the utility is requiered , which nobody seems to be able to find, so perhaps some clarification is needed, is the Express supported, or not?
If it supported as a slave to an Airport Extreme only (meaning you have to have an Extreme, to get the 5.0 utility, and can only then update an Express), or is this one big error on Apple's part??

The only difference I've noticed is that it now says "(Fast Ethernet)" next to the base description. Presumably the newer ones say Gigabit.
any clearification on this issue would help everytime I need to go into my utiliy I get the upgrade menu and I try to upgrade it but still no 5.0 and its starting to piss me off.
adamselzer is a demigod
Hi, for those of you having problems with the 5.2.1 update - just follow what adamselzer says - you've probably got your airport utility in applications and not in applications > utilities. I've been pulling my hair out all day with this until i read his fix.
i'm feeling very stupid but very thankful for his brains!
thanks
