Hi, I believe that the interface has changed with the new Airport Utility so this needs to be done differently. Try this:
• Open Airport Utility. • Press VO-space on the Airport Express you wish to create the Profile for. • Press the Edit button so that the various configuration tabs appear. • Go up to the File menu and choose Export. • Save the exported config file in a convenient place like on your Desktop. • When you're at your other location, set it up appropriately and do the same thing. Once you have the two config files, you can Import them as you need them, although you'll need to restart after each import. HTH. Later...
