    Hi,

    Please help me set up this damn thing!!

    It is a first gen device and I'm using Mac Lion. It is a second hand Airport Express. Apparently I need to get Utility 5.6 which I do. I go through the process, type in passwords yada yada. Get the green light. All seems well!!

    Then nothing. Not a thing. If I then double tap into my Airport Express it just hangs on 'reading configuration'. After that it says it cannot locate an Airport Express and I can rescan but it doesn't find it. I then need to do a hard reset and start the process all over again.

    What am I doing wrong? Please help!!

    Thanks

    Only thing I can think of you have not tried is check in Airport Utility if there is a firmware update for the Airport Express.

    Used Express? Maybe it is defective and that is why someone gave it away or sold it. Seems like you are doing everything right, but you should not need to use the older Airport Utility, the newer version should work just fine as well.
