Setting Up AirPort Express
This chapter provides information and instructions
for using the AirPort Express 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.
AirPort Express software lets you:
•
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 WDS (Wireless Distribution System).
