Setting Up a Network at School

If you are setting up a network at school, and have a broadband DSL or cable modem 
connection to the Internet, and an existing Ethernet network, you may need the 
following items:

An AirPort Extreme Base Station or multiple base stations

A DSL or cable modem with Internet access

AirPort- or other wireless-equipped computers

An optional Apple-certified external antenna

The following illustration is an example of an AirPort network in a school with multiple 
rooms or buildings. The AirPort Extreme Base Stations are set up as a Wireless 
Distribution System (WDS), with the main base station connected by the Ethernet WAN 
(

) port to the DSL or cable modem. The main base station shares its Internet 

connection with the wireless computers in the room, or with computers connected to 
the main base station’s Ethernet LAN (G) port. The main base station also shares the 
Internet connection with the relay base station in the other room or building. The relay 
base station transfers the Internet connection to a remote base station set up in a third 
building. The relay and remote base stations can be set up to share the Internet 
connection with wireless computers in the room, or computers connected to the base 
station’s Ethernet LAN (G) port.
