1st Gen Airport Extreme

Hi

Tracked down my old 1st Generation Airport Extreme while clearing out the old tech drawer. Not supported by OSX so not much use which is a shame!

Anyone think of a use for one of these things? (besides the bin!)

Extend an existing Wifi network, or as a router, it can be used to create a sub network…

yep - I bought it, primarily, for extending my wifi.

seems OSX no longer supports the 1st generation Airports so I can’t configure it. Looked at installing the old Airport utility but OSX won’t let me a version that old.

Suppose if anyone wants it and is prepared to pay the postage, they can have it! :slight_smile:

Are you sure it’s an Airport Extreme?
Apple says it’s supported by latest Airport Utility: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1998

Your quite right Massimo, it’s an express ! :frowning:

Then this could help you putting at work your old Airport Express.

Thanks Massimo - I tried similar but that didn’t work. I’ll give it a go tonight - cheers

FWIW, I was able to get the old version installed and can work with 1st Gen expresses from mountain lion now. So at least one of the tutorials works.
