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

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
- 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'
- Connect the AirPort Express to your computer with a LAN cable (configuring it wireless didn't work for me)
- 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.
- Drag AirPort Utility 5.6.1 into your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. You will need to enter your administrator password.
- 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.
- 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.
Sierra Mac Os Requirements
After this you should be able to connect to your AirPort Express wireless too 🙂
