How to install software to change the name of Airport Extreme

[hajime]

Hello, I don't have access to the rMBP which I used to set up the name of the Airport Extreme. Now I only have a MBP 17" running 10.6.8. I went to the Apple Support site and downloaded the latest AirPortUtility 6.3.1. I could not install it on the company because it requires at least 10.7.5. What can I do? Thanks.

Do you have an iPad, iPod or iPhone? There’s an Airport Configuration App for the iOS platform, too.

There is an iOS version of AirPort Utility. If this Extreme is an older "pizza box" model then you can configure it with the old AirPort Utility 5.6.1!
