Getting Started
Congratulations on purchasing AirPort Extreme. Read this
guide to get started.
AirPort Extreme is based on an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
draft 802.11n specification and provides better performance and greater range than
previous IEEE 802.11 standards. AirPort Extreme is compatible with computers using
802.11b, and 802.11g, as well as computers using the 802.11a and 802.11n wireless
standards.
With AirPort Extreme, you can:
Â
Create a wireless network in your home, and then connect to the Internet and share
the connection with multiple computers simultaneously. An entire family or office
can be connected to the Internet at the same time.
 Connect AirPort Extreme to your Ethernet network. Wireless-equipped Macintosh
computers, Windows XP, or Windows Vista computers can then have access to an
entire network without being connected by a cable.
 Connect a supported USB printer to your AirPort Extreme. All of the compatible
computers on the AirPort network, both wireless and wired, can print to it.
