Extending the Range of an Existing AirPort Extreme or
AirPort Express Network

You can extend the range of an existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express wireless

network by setting it up in a WDS. Wireless computers can connect to the network and

share the Internet connection, share files, and play network games. If you connect your

AirPort Express to your home stereo, computers on your wireless network can use

AirTunes to play music on the stereo from iTunes. If you connect a USB printer to your

AirPort Express, all of the computers on the network can print to it.

m

Open AirPort Utility and follow the onscreen instructions to extend the range of your

AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express network.

Extending the range of a network using a WDS may reduce overall network

performance.
