About Your AirPort Card
With the AirPort Card installed in your computer, you can do the following:
m Access an AirPort network at your work or school and use it to browse the Internet, send
and receive e-mail, and more.
m Set up a direct link between two or more AirPort-equipped computers (known as a
“computer-to-computer” AirPort connection). You can use the link to play multiplayer
games.
m Set up an AirPort network using your computer as a base station and provide Internet
access to other AirPort-equipped computers. You can also set up an AirPort network using
an external device called an “AirPort Base Station,” available from your Apple-authorized
dealer or The Apple Store at www.apple.com/store
About AirPort
AirPort technology offers an easy and affordable way to provide wireless Internet access
anywhere in your home or classroom. Instead of using traditional cabling to create a network,
AirPort uses wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide wireless communication
between multiple computers.
