 Using AirPort Express

 

Once you have decided which kind of network you are going to set up, configuring 
AirPort Express involves three steps: 

Connect all of the cables you want to use with AirPort Express before you use the 
AirPort Setup Assistant to set it up.

Use the AirPort Setup Assistant to set up your AirPort Express network or join your 
existing wireless network.

These settings are optional for most users. They include using the base station as a 
bridge between your AirPort network and an Ethernet network, controlling access to 
an AirPort network, and setting advanced security options.

Before you plug AirPort Express into a power outlet, first connect the appropriate 
cables to the ports you want to use.

Connect the Ethernet cable connected to your DSL or cable modem if you will 
connect to the Internet using AirPort Express.

Connect the audio cable to your stereo if you will use AirTunes to play music from 
iTunes.

Connect a USB cable to a compatible USB printer if you will print to a USB printer. 

Note:  AirPort Express does not support powered USB speakers. Use only powered 
speakers with a stereo mini-jack connector.

Once you have connected the cables for all the devices you plan to use, connect the AC 
plug adapter if necessary. Plug AirPort Express into the wall. There is no on switch.

After you plug in AirPort Express, use the AirPort Setup Assistant to set it up to work 
with your Internet connection, stereo, USB printer, or existing network.
