You can copy or move it to your Applications or Utilities folder. Which will create a new folder on your Desktop (or in the folder where you downloaded the dmg image), named "Applications."

EL CAPITAN AIRPORT UTILITY INSTALL
Well it is possible to download the Airport Utility 5.1 update, however this will only install if you have 5.0 installed which brings us back to square one.ĭownload the AirPort Base Station Update 2007-001 file from here.ĭouble-click AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.dmg to mount and display it's contents.įrom the AirPortUtilityUpdate window, right-click on "AirPortBaseStationUpdate2007001.mpkg." The older Airport Admin Utility can not be used to configure the new 802.11n base station, so what do you do. Well it would seem that quite a few people have lost the original CD, or as is usually the problem, the CD is at a different location and the Mac they are using does not have the Airport Utility installed. In order to manage the Airport Extreme, I had to run Airport Utility 5.6 in addition to he default Airport Utility (for Time Capsule). I was running X.7.5 on my laptop until yesterday. Airport Utility 5.0 which comes on the CD with the new 802.11n Airport Extreme Base Station is not available to download.Īpple's reasoning I guess is that you would take care of the CD. I have an Airport Time Capsule and I am running one of my old Airport Extremes (Flying Saucer) as a direct-connected satellite for my gaming system.
