Plugging In AirPort Extreme

Before you plug in your AirPort Extreme, first connect the appropriate cables to the ports you want to use:

ÂÂ Connect the Ethernet cable that is connected to your DSL or cable modem (if you will connect to the Internet) to the Ethernet (WAN) port (<).

ÂÂ Connect a USB cable connected from the USB port (d) on the AirPort Extreme to a compatible USB printer (if you will print to a USB printer), a hard disk, or a hub.

ÂÂ Connect an Ethernet cable from any Ethernet device to the Ethernet LAN ports (G).

After you have connected the cables for all the devices you plan to use, connect the AC adapter to the power port, and plug your AirPort Extreme into a power outlet. There is no power switch.
