Apple AirPort Extreme
Creating a wireless network
Connect your DSL or cable modem to the Ethernet WAN port on the AirPort Extreme.
Open AirPort Utility, select your base station, and click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions to create your new network.
Creating a guest network
Setting up a guest network is simple.
When setting up your wireless network, check the box next to “Enable Guest Network.”
Give your guest network a name — for example, “John’s Guests.”
Choose a password for your guests, or leave it blank for no password at all.
Sharing a USB hard drive
Once you’ve set up your wireless network, it’s easy to share files with everyone on your network by connecting an external hard drive to AirPort Extreme.
Connect the hard drive to the AirPort Extreme USB port.
Open AirPort Utility, select your base station, and click Manual Setup.
Choose Disks in the toolbar and enable file sharing in the File Sharing tab.
Connecting a printer
Connect a printer to the AirPort Extreme USB port for everyone on your network to access.* If your USB port is in use by another device, that’s OK. Just connect a USB hub to AirPort Extreme and attach your devices to the hub.
Wireless network users demand two things: higher speeds and greater range. The AirPort Extreme Base Station delivers on both fronts and offers superfast wireless network access throughout just about any home, office, or classroom.
Simultaneous dual-band support.
Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPod touch, and devices using 802.11b/g. Other devices can use either 2.4GHz or the higher-speed 5GHz band, such as the latest 802.11n-based Mac computers and Apple TV. Instead of choosing one of the bands, AirPort Extreme operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multiband devices automatically use the best available band. This means all your Wi-Fi devices get the fastest possible wireless performance and the best possible range. In addition, AirPort Extreme reduces the possibility of interference from appliances and cordless phones that use the 2.4GHz band.
Even faster performance.
Based on the IEEE 802.11n specification, AirPort Extreme uses a technology called multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to transmit multiple data streams simultaneously. The result? AirPort Extreme delivers data transfer speeds up to five times those of 802.11g wireless networks — while achieving up to twice the range.1 And improvements in antenna design give you up to 50 percent better Wi-Fi performance and up to 25 percent better range than with the previous-generation AirPort Extreme Base Station.2
Imagine the possibilities.
Up to 50 people can all share the same Internet connection, exchange files using the file-sharing capability built into Mac OS X or Windows, access local and remote file servers, annihilate the competition in multiplayer games — anything a typical network user can do, plus a number of things that are decidedly not typical, such as wireless storage and printing.3
Share the Internet securely with guest networking.
It’s easy to allow guests to use your Internet connection without sharing your password or giving them access to the rest of your network. Simply enable the guest networking feature using the AirPort Utility application and create a separate Wi-Fi network just for your friends. You can set up this guest network with a different password or with none at all. Your primary network — including your printer, attached drives or other devices — remains secure.
Compatible with 802.11a/b/g.
All currently shipping Mac systems support the next-generation 802.11n technology in the AirPort Extreme Base Station. And AirPort Extreme is compatible with Mac computers, PCs, and wireless devices such as iPhone and iPod touch that use 802.11a, b, or g technologies. You can also rest assured that AirPort Extreme works with other certified 802.11n products.
