Setting Up AirPort Extreme
 
This chapter provides information and instructions for using 
AirPort Utility to set up your AirPort Extreme.
 
Use the diagrams in the previous chapter to help you decide how you want to use your 
AirPort Extreme, and what features you want to set up on your AirPort network. Then 
use the instructions in this chapter to easily configure AirPort Extreme and set up your 
AirPort network.
This chapter provides an overview for using the setup assistant in AirPort Utility to set 
up your network and other features of your AirPort Extreme. For more detailed wireless 
networking information, and for information about the advanced features of AirPort 
Utility, refer to the “Designing AirPort Networks Using AirPort Utility” document, 
located on the AirPort CD and at www.apple.com/support/airport.
After you install the software that came on the CD with your AirPort Extreme, you can 
do most of your network setup and configuration tasks using the setup assistant in 
AirPort Utility. To set advanced options, choose Manual Setup from the Base Station 
menu of AirPort Utility. See “Setting Advanced Options” on page 25.
