AirPort Extreme Wireless Internet and Networking

If you ordered an AirPort Extreme Card when you purchased your Mac mini, the card is

already installed. AirPort offers an easy and affordable way to provide wireless Internet

access anywhere in the home, at work, or in the classroom. Instead of using traditional

cables, AirPort uses wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide wireless

communication between multiple computers. Through a wireless network, you can

access the Internet, transfer files, play multiplayer games, print wirelessly, and more.

Note: If you didn’t order an AirPort Extreme Card with your Mac mini, you can have

one installed by an Apple Authorized Service Provider or at an Apple Store.

Wireless Internet access requires an AirPort Extreme Card. You also need an AirPort or

AirPort Extreme Base Station, or AirPort Express, as well as Internet access (fees may

apply). Some Internet service providers are not currently compatible with AirPort.

Range may vary with site conditions.
