Connecting to an Existing Wireless Network
You can use the AirPort Setup Assistant to join an existing wireless network. When you
connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network
can use AirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer
to your AirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.
Be sure to connect the audio cable to your stereo and the USB cable to your printer
before you use the AirPort Setup Assistant.
m Open the AirPort Setup Assistant, located in Applications/Utilities on a Macintosh, or in
Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows XP or Windows 2000.
Follow the onscreen instructions to connect your AirPort Express to your wireless
network.
Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or
AirPort Express Network
You can extend the range of an existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wireless
network by setting it up in a WDS. Wireless computers can connect to the network and
share the Internet connection, share files, and play network games. If you connect your
AirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network can use
AirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer to your
AirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.
m Open the AirPort Setup Assistant and follow the onscreen instructions to extend the
range of your AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network.
Note: Extending the range of a network using WDS may reduce overall network
performance.
