Setting Up AirPort Express

This chapter provides information and instructions for using
the AirPort software to set up your AirPort Express.

Use the diagrams in the previous chapter to help you decide where you want to use

your AirPort Express, and what features you want to set up on your AirPort network.

Then use the instructions in this chapter to easily configure AirPort Express and set up

your AirPort network.

With AirPort Utility you can:

 Set up a new network that wireless computers can use to communicate with each

other. If you set up your AirPort Express as a base station and connect it to the

Internet, wireless computers can also share the Internet connection.

 Connect your AirPort Express to your existing wireless network and use AirTunes to

play iTunes music on your home stereo or powered speakers, and connect a USB

printer to share.

 Connect your AirPort Express to your existing AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express

network and extend the range of your wireless network using the AirPort Express as a

wireless bridge. This is known as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
