I waited a while for them to get started up, then I went back on my laptop and opened airport utility. Is this the correct process? I then unplugged it again, then powered on the modem, then the base station and connected the two. I released the button, it stopped flashing but stayed yellow. It flashed green for less than a second, went to yellow and then started flashing. Still holding the button, I plugged in the router and let it power on. Unplugged the router, then I got a pen and pressed the reset button. Maybe I did the factory default reset uncorrectly, but I'm pretty sure I did it right.

I tried following the tip but unfortunately, the same error appeared.
#AIRPORT UTILITY ERROR PASSWORD#
I need it to work so I can set a password for the network, and seeing the router's light glowing amber instead of green is very annoying. I tried installing it from Windows Update, but when I searched for updates it didn't return SP1.
#AIRPORT UTILITY ERROR INSTALL#
I tried updating to 5.6.1 or whatever the latest version is, but I need Windows 7 SP1 and I unfortunately do not have blank CDs with enought space to install it. I'm using version 5.5.3 of Airport Utility.

My network connection is working perfectly fine, I'm using it to browse the web as I'm typing this, and to post this question. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again. Once it finishes an error comes up that says: "An error ocurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. First, it connects to the wireless network and then there's a status bar and it says "Detecting Apple wireless devices. Now, it found the router but when I click "continue" or "manual setup" it doesn't work. At first it couldn't find the router but I've had that problem before and it was easily fixed by resetting the router. I knew I would have to set up my router again, so I got on my laptop and opened Airport Utility. The cable modem was successfully installed and I connected it to my Apple router (not sure of the exact model, I think it's the Airport express base station? It's really small and rectangular and plugs into the wall). I just switched ISPs and was given a new modem.
