Dell XPS - Airport Extreme Issue - 08/16/15 09:15 PM
I have an older Extreme ( V7.6.4 - purchased 2007 ) that has the 802.11.n wifi standard.
Now, I also have a house guest with a new Dell laptop (13" XPS) that uses the newer 802.11ac standard.
The Dell does not see my Airport Extreme router.
Thoughts?
Edit: And, I now got a rather disconcerting surprise. I thought I should check the Airport Extreme settings to see if I have done something like making the Extreme invisible (haven't configured for many years, so can't recall). However, I can't find out. The version of Airport Utility installed with my Mountain Lion 10.8.5 will not work with an older Extreme.
Boo, hiss, Apple.
