Setting up an AirPort base station
An AirPort base station provides a Wi-Fi connection to your home, school, or small business
network. You can use iPod touch to set up a new AirPort Express base station, AirPort Extreme
base station, or a Time Capsule.
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Under “Set up an AirPort base station,”
tap the name of the base station you want to set up. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
Some older AirPort base stations cannot be set up using an iOS device. For setup instructions, see
the documentation that came with the base station.
If the base station you want to set up isn’t listed, make sure it has power, that you’re within range,
and that it hasn’t already been configured. You can set up only base stations that are new or have
been reset.
If your AirPort base station is already configured, the AirPort Utility app from the App Store lets
you change the base station’s settings and monitor its status.
