What to Do

If you’re using AirPort Utility to help you set up an Apple wireless device on an existing Ethernet network:

1Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a Windows computer.

2Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions to connect to your local area network (LAN).

If you’re using AirPort Utility to manually set up your wireless device:

1Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a Mac, or in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a Windows computer.

2Select your device and choose Base Station > Manual Setup, or double-click your device icon to open the configuration in a separate window.

3Click Internet and choose Ethernet from the Connect Using pop-up menu.

4Choose Manually or Using DHCP from the Configure IPv4 pop-up menu, depending on how IP addresses are provided on your Ethernet network. If you aren’t sure, ask your service provider or network administrator.

If your addresses are provided manually, choose Manually from the Configure IPv4 pop-up menu. Enter your IP address information in the fields below the Configure IPv4 pop-up menu.

Contact your network administrator for the information you should enter in these fields.
