Using AirPort Express

With AirPort Express, you can:

ÂÂ Create a password-protected wireless home network, and then connect to the Internet and share the Internet connection with computers and other wireless devices, such as iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV.

ÂÂ Create a guest network, with or without password protection, to give wireless Internet access to friends and visitors. Devices that connect to the guest network only have access to the Internet.

ÂÂ Connect your AirPort Express to your Ethernet network. Wireless-equipped Mac and Windows computers and other wireless devices can then access the network without being connected by a cable.

ÂÂ Connect a USB or Ethernet device, such as a printer, to your AirPort Express. All the computers on the AirPort network can access the device.

ÂÂ Connect your stereo or powered speakers to your AirPort Express, and then use AirPlay to play your iTunes library from any computer or iOS device.

The AirPort Express Network

The following illustration shows an AirPort Express connected to the Internet by a modem and creating a wireless 2.4 and 5 GHz network. The AirPort Express is connected to powered speakers, so any computer or iOS device on the network can play music through the speakers using AirPlay. It’s also connected to a network printer using Ethernet, so all of the computers on the network can print to it.
