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:

Â

A 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) network for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices, such as

iPhone, iPod touch, and older computers

Â

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:

Â

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.
