ÂÂ Set up your AirPort Express to create a new network that wireless computers and devices can use to connect to the Internet.

ÂÂ Set up your AirPort Express to join an existing network. If the network is connected to the Internet, all the computers and wireless devices on the AirPort network can use the Internet connection. If the network is set up to be extended, AirPort Express can extend the range of that network.
