About the AirPort Software

AirPort Express works with the AirPort software included on the AirPort Express CD.

AirPort Setup Assistant

Use the AirPort Setup Assistant (or the AirPort Express Assistant if you are using
Windows XP) to set up your AirPort Express to connect to the Internet, play iTunes
music on your home stereo or powered speakers, and share a printer. You can also
bridge your AirPort Express to your existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express
wireless network to extend the range of your network (WDS).

AirPort Admin Utility

AirPort Admin Utility is an advanced tool for setting up and managing AirPort
Extreme and AirPort Express base stations. Use AirPort Admin Utility to adjust
network, routing, and security settings and other advanced options.

AirPort status menu in the menu bar

Use the AirPort status menu to switch quickly between AirPort networks, monitor
the signal quality of the current network, create a Computer-to-Computer network,
and turn AirPort on and off. The status menu is available on computers using

Mac OS X.
