Getting Started
Congratulations on purchasing your simultaneous dual-band
AirPort Extreme Base Station. Read this guide to get started.
The new AirPort Extreme provides simultaneous dual-band wireless 802.11n
networking. When you set up your AirPort Extreme Base Station, it creates two high-
speed Wi-Fi networks:
 A 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) network for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices, such as
iPhone, iPod touch, and older computers
 A 5 GHz network for 802.11n and 802.11a devices, such as newer computers and
Apple TV
Wireless devices join the network that provides them the best performance and
compatibility, and the AirPort Extreme shares your broadband Internet connection with
computers and devices on your network.
With your AirPort Extreme, you can:
 Create a password-protected wireless home network, and then connect to the
Internet and share the connection with other computers and Wi-Fi devices, such as
iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV. You can also share files among computers
connected to the network.
