    Using Your Computer
 
Note:  Wireless Internet access requires an AirPort Extreme Card. Previous models of 
AirPort Card are not compatible with your computer. You also need an AirPort Base 
Station and Internet access (fees may apply). Some Internet service providers are not 
currently compatible with AirPort. Range may vary with site conditions.
How AirPort Provides Wireless Internet Access
With AirPort, you set up a wireless connection to a device known as a base station, 
which has a physical connection to the Internet. AirPort technology works like a 
cordless telephone. The AirPort Extreme Card in the computer makes a wireless 
connection to the base station, which is connected to the Internet via a telephone line 
or a DSL or cable modem.
