Using Your Mac mini

Understanding AirPort Extreme Wireless Networking

Some Mac mini models include AirPort Extreme. If you ordered AirPort Extreme

technology (also called WiFi or 802.11b/g) when you purchased your Mac mini, it is

already installed. AirPort offers an easy and affordable way to provide wireless Internet

access anywhere in the home, at work, or in the classroom. AirPort uses wireless local

area network (LAN) technology to provide wireless communication between multiple

computers. You can access the Internet, transfer files, play multiplayer games, print

wirelessly, and more.

The AirPort Extreme technology in your Mac mini is compatible with the AirPort

Extreme Base Station, AirPort Express, the original AirPort base station, or other 802.11b

or 802.11g compliant products. For wireless Internet access, you need one of these

products and Internet access (fees may apply). Some Internet service providers are not

currently compatible with AirPort. Range may vary with site conditions.

Note: If your Mac mini doesn’t include AirPort Extreme technology, you can have it

installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or at an Apple Store retail location.
