Update left behind my older AirPort Extreme

Junk. Apple has released some serious junk since Jobs' passing. Apple, more R & D, less thinking of the bottom line. This app does not find any of my apple products, air port extreme, air port ap's, Nothing. Not to mention there is no support from Apple at all, only paid tech support. I am really starting to regret the switch to all Apple products when all Apple does is publish junk that has not been bench tested with all their products only the last eat and greatest. Shame on Apple.

Airplay not working any more

Further to the iOS 8 and recent Airport Utility update Airplay has stopped working and the utility doesn't see my TimeCapsule.

Works great, before and after iOS 8

Airport Time Capsule with iOS 8 works great, no loss or degradation of function.

This app has saved me loads of time, allowing me to make changes to my Airport Time Capsule without dragging out my MacBook or sitting down at my iMac just to look up the MAC address of all the devices using my wireless network, for example.

If you're having problems using the app, try a hard reset on you iOS device, force quitting the app before restarting.

Broken with iOS 8 update

The new update to iOS 8 / Airport Utility has broken my setup

The phone connects to the all-Apple Airport network, so Internet still works, but it can't see the individual internal wireless network base stations for some reason.

Very strange given that it is clearly connecting through them!

It's just ok...

It does what you need to configure and manage your Apple Airport device, but it suffers from the same lack of Apple love as other Apple utility apps, and here is why: this update provides a new Wi-Fi scan feature that lets you list networks around you, their signal strength, and what channel they're on, so you can make a more educated decision on how to configure yours, however, as useful as this feature can be, the presentation of the info is just awfully simple: a list. No charts, no sorting, no nothing.

Come on Apple, you guys are known to design the most beautiful looking devices and apps, why is that you show no interest on giving this type of utilities a better looking and more helpful UI? Same with OS X wireless diagnostics.

Just drop me a line if you need some help ;-)

Good App

Good app. I like the fact you can manage your settings on your iphone also. I have my family using the wifi router So i like the fact that i can manage when and fir how long they can connect to the wifi connection. However it would be a great app if i was able to manage and restrict internet content and sites being accessed through my wifi connection.

Probably good if you have a pure mac wifi network

.... Otherwise a complete waste of time

DOES NOT WORK WITH Airport 1 & 2

If your WiFi box is called "Apple AirPort" then this is software only for "Apple AirPort"

BUT no longer works with Airport Express 1 & 2

Come on Apple - give us another utility for Wireless G AirPort

SPECIAL NOTE: if your WiFi box is NOT called "Apple AirPort" then read the manufacturers instructions on how to setup using your web browser...

Not good

Only appears to work with apples own wifi device airport and not other wifi routers. Yet that isn't listed in the requirements. Therefore the app is a waste of space.
