Chapter 3 Setting Up AirPort Extreme 21
Using AirPort Utility
To set up and configure your AirPort Extreme to use AirPort for wireless networking
and Internet access, use the setup assistant in AirPort Utility. AirPort Utility is installed
on your computer when you install the software from the AirPort Extreme CD.
On a Macintosh computer using Mac OS X v10.4 or later:
1 Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
2 Select your base station and click Continue.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your AirPort Extreme and your wireless
network.
On a computer using Windows XP (with Service Pack 2) or Windows Vista:
1 Open AirPort Utility, located in Start > All Programs > AirPort.
2 Select your base station and click Continue.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your AirPort Extreme and your wireless
network.
The setup assistant in AirPort Utility asks you a series of questions about the type of
network you want to use and the services you want to set up. The setup assistant helps
you enter the appropriate settings for the network you are setting up.
If you are using AirPort Extreme to connect to the Internet, you need a broadband (DSL
or cable modem) account with an Internet service provider (ISP), or a connection to the
Internet using an existing Ethernet network. If you received specific information from
your ISP (such as a static IP address or a DHCP client ID), you may need to enter it in
AirPort Utility. Have this information available before you set up your AirPort Extreme.
