Airport Utility

If my Airport Express doesn't show up in the Airport Utility, does that mean it isn't working even though I have a solid green light?

If the AE is generating a wireless network that is usable, then it is working.

If not.........

It should appear in AU as long as you have Airport turned on on your computer.

Try a reset. Follow the instructions

There are times when devices will have problems with their administration interfaces, but still be able to function. Resetting it should allow it to show up in the AirPort utility, but doing so may disrupt network connections. Additionally, be sure your firmware is up to date.
