![]() RESTART Airport utility, and wait! After a minute or two maybe, there WILL be in the top left hand corner "other wifi devices (3)" say, and each one will be seen and despite the fact that the new Utility app doesn't let you do anything, for me at least, it kinda just automatically joins your new network. People are saying you need the old Airport Utility 5.6.1 to see the old AExp's and configure them.well, despite ALL the instructions on the web, I still can't install that.lots of different errors.Īlways remembered the thing about sticking a biro pen into the reset slot, and leaving it there FOR A LONG TIME (30 seconds etc) and after rapid amber light flashing and back to gradual flashing, every AExp is ready to be seen in the newest version of Airport Utility (mine currently at 6.3.5). In any event I trust your perspective will help the OP in making an informed decision.OK, so I'm talking here in mid 2015 on a 27" 5K Mac running 10.10.3 Yosemite, and wanting to re-set my network containing an Airport Extreme (tall 2014 one) and three airport expresses (ranging from 2011 to one flat one from 2013) ![]() I have never experienced an Apple AirPort failure, way back to the original AEBS, so I believe they deserve their reputation. I rely upon them for wired and wireless printers, MFDs, print servers, a home theater, security system, VoIP phone service, as well as an abundance of iOS and "other" devices. To be clear, it's not just Macs and PCs I'm using with my AirPort Base Stations. As user - to - user support sites go, no one else's comes close to ASC. Having an AirPort Base Station also makes competent support from this site easier to obtain. Hence I see an AirPort as the most inclusive choice, which is what motivated me to provide a counterpoint. Whereas other manufacturers are quick to respond "we don't support Apple", Apple on the other hand will support every conceivable network client. Clearly some features (Back to My Mac and its ability to wake a sleeping Mac for remote access for example) are guaranteed to be trouble-free using a genuine Apple product. I think any recommendation requires knowing what the OP expects to do in the future. Thank you for providing those quantitative comparisons LaPastenague.
