AirPort Utility
If the process of setting up your wireless network seems intimidating, it’s probably because you’ve never used AirPort Extreme.
Quick and easy setup.
Other wireless routers make you do all the work — from deciphering obscure instructions to figuring out where to enter your passwords. AirPort Utility for Mac and Windows does most of the work for you by stepping you through the setup process quickly and easily. In most cases, your wireless network can be up and running in less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee.
Plug in, set up, enjoy.
For the most basic setup, all you have to do is plug your AirPort Extreme into an electrical outlet and connect your DSL or cable modem. Then open the AirPort Utility software and just follow the onscreen instructions. The software asks for relevant information, sets up encryption and security, and configures your computer to access your new network — all in plain English.
Whether you use a Mac or a PC, the whole network can be ready to go in about five minutes. And if you want to do more — such as share a hard drive wirelessly or add a shared USB printer — it’s just as easy.
