Setting Up an AirPort Connection Manually

Gather the following information from your system administrator if you’ll be setting up
a manual connection.

If you’ll be connecting using DHCP, most of this information is provided to your
computer automatically by the network, so ask your system administrator what is
required.
 Domain name server (DNS) addresses, if necessary
 DHCP or manual IP address configuration
 IP address
 Router address
 Subnet mask
 Password, if required

Next, make sure your AirPort connection options are active in Network preferences.

To set up Network preferences for an AirPort connection:

1

Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar.

2

Click Network.

3

Choose Network Port Configurations from the Show pop-up menu.

4

Select the On checkbox next to AirPort.
