6 About Your AirPort Extreme Card
If you are setting up an AirPort Extreme Base Station or an AirPort Express, you can
use the AirPort Setup Assistant.
n
Open the AirPort Setup Assistant (located in Applications/Utilities) and follow the
onscreen instructions.
If an error message says the AirPort Extreme Card is not detected:
• Shut down your computer and make sure the AirPort Extreme Card is oriented
properly and that it is completely inserted into the AirPort Extreme Card slot. Make
sure the AirPort antenna is securely connected to the card and the connector on
the other end of the card is firmly inserted into the connector in the AirPort
Extreme Card slot.
If you are unable to detect the network you want to connect to:
• Make sure that you are in range of an AirPort base station. The typical range for an
AirPort network is up to 150 feet (45 meters) in any direction from the base station.
• Try to move away from possible sources of interference, such as cordless
telephones, microwave ovens, and metal walls, that may be preventing you from
connecting to the network. For a complete list of sources of interference, see the
document “Designing AirPort Extreme Networks” located on the AirPort CD, or at
www.apple.com/airportextreme.
