Getting Started

Congratulations on purchasing AirPort Extreme. Read this

guide to get started using it.

AirPort Extreme is based on an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
draft 802.11n specification and provides better performance and greater range than
previous IEEE 802.11 standards. AirPort Extreme is compatible with computers using
802.11b, and 802.11g, as well as computers using the 802.11a wireless standards.

With AirPort Extreme, you can:
Â

Create a wireless network in your home, and then connect to the Internet and share
the connection with multiple computers simultaneously. An entire family or office
can be connected to the Internet at the same time.

Â

Connect AirPort Extreme to your Ethernet network. Wireless-equipped Macintosh
computers or Windows XP computers can then have access to an entire network
without being connected by a cable.

Â

Connect a USB printer to your AirPort Extreme. All of the compatible computers on
the AirPort network, both wireless and wired, can print to it.
