Apple changed the 802.11 framework that AirPort Utility 5.6 links against. The symbols exported by the new 802.11 framework don’t match the ones that AirPort Utiltiy 5.6 needs, so OS X can’t launch the app. However, it is possible to get the app to run if you have a copy of the old framework binary.

I'm working with my older 2010 17' MacBook Pro while waiting for Apple to fix my current one (late 2013) and since I had to install Yosemite on this one to get certain apps to work I found that the current Airport utility available in Google search results will not install because this version of OSX is not supported.On the Mac App Store, if you search for Airport Utility, nothing shows up. I just want to be able to reconfigure my time capsule I bought in 2013 because it's crapping out on me/being unreliable with backups & wireless. I was able to access Airport Utility on the MacBook Pro that is currently in the shop. But for some reason there is no Airport Utility Mac app that I can use now.Maybe they are busy updating Airport Utility? It seems like Apple is spread too thin to work out any issues with software, and it makes me wonder if they are going to stop making routers/update Airport Utility.(I actually went into the Apple Store for these time capsule issues and even the Genius Bar guy said that he doesn't trust Apple's time capsule for use as a router/backup. He suggested we try a third party router.

He also asked the geniuses in the back of the shop about the flaky time capsule and they said a software issue with Yosemite is to blame.)TL:DR: Airport Utility is not available for Yosemite upgrades on older macs.What do I do?.
I have a simple network setup, and have read some initial reviews that say the new Airport Utility 6 for Mac OS X lacks some of the advanced settings that the older utility provides. I depend on those settings for my network to operate properly.Can I still keep the old utility around and use either tool or should I wait to upgrade until I'm sure all the bells and whistles I might need are added to the 6.0 version?I am going to need to keep the older Airport Software around since some of my devices are too old for the new software, but I'm mostly interested in knowing that I won't be forced to abandon my current advanced settings if I try the new firmware or the new client software. Yes on 10.8 and older, you can use the older AirPort Utility without any extra work. Do be aware that the 6.0 installer deletes the older copy of your software and Time Machine will not let you restore the old version to the same folder as the new version.I restored the old version from my Time Machine backup to another folder and the old app has no problem seeing and configuring my updated Time Capsule.You can save yourself the steps by compressing or copying your old AirPort Utility before running the 6.0 installer and manage which app you run by hand.
