Connecting Additional Base Stations to Your

AirPort Network

You can connect additional AirPort Extreme Base Stations to extend the range of your wireless network. You can connect the base stations wirelessly or using Ethernet. A network with base stations connected using Ethernet is known as a roaming network. Connecting base stations wirelessly creates what is known as a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). See the document “Designing AirPort Extreme Networks,” or “AirPort Networks for Windows” for more information about setting up a roaming network or extending your network with WDS.

Connecting Multiple Base Stations to Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)

If your base stations support PoE, you can connect multiple base stations to an 802.3af- compliant Ethernet device (known as a PSE), and send power and a network or Internet connection over category 5 Ethernet cables. Receiving power over the base station’s Ethernet connection eliminates extra cables and the need to locate the base station near a power outlet.

Base stations that support PoE meet flammability classification standards and are UL listed for use above suspended ceilings and in air-handling spaces. The US National Electric Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) require that you use plenum-rated Ethernet cables in air-handling spaces.

Extending the Range of Your AirPort Network

In addition to adding base stations to your network, you can attach an Apple-certified external antenna to the base station to extend your network’s range. External antennas are available from your Apple-authorized dealer, Apple retail stores, or the Apple Store at store.apple.com.

External antennas may not be permitted in some regions outside the US.

If your base station supports PoE and is mounted in an air-handling space and receives power over the Ethernet WAN port, do not connect an external antenna unless it is plenum-rated and conforms to UL Standard 2043.

Note: Before connecting or disconnecting an external antenna, you must unplug the base station’s power adapter, connect or disconnect the antenna, and then plug the base station back in to its power source.
