Getting Wireless Internet Access With AirPort Extreme
With AirPort Extreme, you set up a wireless connection to a device known as a base
station, which has a physical connection to the Internet. AirPort Extreme technology
works like a cordless phone. The AirPort Extreme technology in the computer makes a
wireless connection to the AirPort, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Express base station,
which is connected to the phone line, a DSL or cable modem, or a local-area network
with Internet access.
