Asked By Jody Akerly 80 points N/A Posted on - 09/25/2012

Hi,

While setting up a wireless network I received an error message.

The screenshot is as under. I have no idea regarding the AirPort WiFi Base Station.

Please help me to solve it.

 

AirPort Utility

An error occurred while reading the configuration.

Make sure your apple wireless device is plugged in and in the range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again. (-5)

Did you try to update it? Perform a hard reset on your base station. Unclick the "Allow Setup over WAN" under the Base station tab and the "Allow SNMP" under the Advanced icon. And then use your old account for your wireless network and then click Update on the lower portion.
