First, Get Easier Access to airport Wi-Fi Tool In case you were wondering, yes the command line airport tool exists in nearly all versions of Mac OS X, even modern versions that stopped calling wireless networking ‘airport’ and refer to it as Wi-Fi. That's why I'm knocking two stars off, because Apple when decided to stop supporting these guys they decided to also prevent the older software from running normally, preventing them from being reconfigured on a Mac.īut once it's set up you'll be so glad you did.How to Access & Use airport Command Line Tool on Mac OS In fact, it may be easier to set up on a Windows PC. Here's the catch: you need extra software to initially set it up (Apple AirPort Utility), and if you're doing so on a Mac you'll actually need to download a modified, *older* version of AirPort Utility, as the latest versions completely remove support for these old guys. You can buy a Raspberry Pi and SD card and set them up to do the same thing, but it's going to take a lot of effort and time to initially set up (and you better be familiar with Linux or willing to learn!), or you can buy an outdated AirPort Express for a fraction of the price, set it up, and play music through it.
