check or change your settings, or you can change them using the Network pane of

System Preferences.

Setting Up an AirPort Extreme Connection Manually

a manual connection.

computer automatically by the network, so ask your system administrator what is

required.

 DHCP or manual IP address configuration

 IP address

 Router address

 Subnet mask

 Password, if required

Next, make sure your AirPort connection options are active in Network preferences.

Choose Apple () > System Preferences from the menu bar.

2

Click Network.

3

Choose Network Port Configurations from the Show pop-up menu.
