What It Looks Like

How to Set It Up

1

You need to have an existing AirPort network created by an AirPort Extreme Base

Station or an AirPort Express connected to the Internet. This base station is called the

main base station and shares its Internet connection with your AirPort Express.

2

Use AirPort Utility to join your network and extend its range. (See page 25 for more

information.)

Both base stations share the Internet connection with client computers wirelessly, or

using Ethernet if the client computers are connected by Ethernet.
