Hi Folks,

I recently bought an old AirPort Express (A1088) on ebay for 20 Euros. These thingies are still a good working WiFi router and they support WPA2. However thanks to Apples policy “Do not support Hardware that is older than 5 years” it is not possible to configure it on a modern Mac because the Airport Utility does not support this hardware anymore. Thanks again Apple.

But Dr. Sven found out how to do it and here is the description. I found most parts of it here

1. Reset the AirPort Express. While it’s plugged in, hold the reset button until the light starts flashing fast (about 10–20 seconds) then let go. After that the password – if you are asked – is “public”
2. Connect the AirPort Express to your computer with a LAN cable (configuring it wireless didn’t work for me)
3. Download this old version of the AirPort Utility 5.6.1 with an AppleScript that allows it to launch on macOS Sierra, and launch the dmg.
4. Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.1 into your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. You will need to enter your administrator password.
5. Next, after you’ve dragged AirPort Utility 5.6.1 into the Utilities folder, drag AirPort Utility 5.6.1 Launcher into your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. You may need to enter your administrator password again. It’s important to do steps 3 and 4 separately instead of dragging both into the folder at once — otherwise, you’ll most likely get an error message. This is the biggest area people run into problems with my guide.
6. Open AirPort Utility 5.6.1 Launcher package (ctrl. + klick and then show packe content). Then click through contents and MacOS and there you see the file “applet”. Double klick it. You may need to open Security & Privacy in System Preferences to approve this, if you get a message about the app being from an unauthorized developer. Now that the AirPort Utility is open you should be able to edit everything and it is all good.

After this you should be able to connect to your AirPort Express wireless too 🙂

Airport Express Software

Apple's AirPort Express with AirTunes is designed to share an incoming broadband connection between up to ten computers wirelessly, while at the same time allowing users to play back music through speakers connected to the unit.

The Express measures 9.5 x 7.5 x 3cm and weighs just 190g. The 802.11b/g device includes an Ethernet connector, a single USB port for sharing a printer, and Walkman-style audio jack to connect to a stereo or speaker set. Setup is straightforward, and it takes just a few minutes to be up and running. The software set includes an application called the AirPort Express Assistant for Mac OS X and Windows XP that helps guide you through the settings required to configure the unit.

The small device works with iTunes 4.6 and above, on a Mac OS X 10.3 or Windows 2000/XP-based system with a Wi-Fi card, and is controlled from the host computer (where the songs are stored and iTunes is running). iTunes enables you to pipe the stereo music directly from a computer to the Express, and there's no latency during playback - it runs smoothly, free from pops, crackles, or skipping.

The small white plastic brick doesn't feature a connector to attach an external antenna, but managed to maintain a connection up to a range of 35m during testing, which should prove ample to cover most houses.

The AirPort Express is also well appointed from a security perspective, and boasts Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) along with support for 40- and 128-bit WEP. It also offers the ability to filter devices based on their MAC address, and basic NAT (Network Address Translation) functionality provides an entry-level hardware firewall to protect against attacks from the Internet.

All up, Apple has designed a simple, effective, and secure product that works as promised. Many wireless devices on the market include the ability to share a printer, and the AirPort Express is a relatively expensive way to share a net connection between up to ten computers. That said, the ability to pipe music to a remote location wirelessly is worth the added expense.
