Setting Up Roaming
Several AirPort Extreme Base Stations or Time Capsules can be set up to create a single wireless network. Client computers using AirPort can move from device to device with no interruption in service (a process known as roaming).
To set up roaming:
1Connect all of the AirPort Extreme Base Stations and Time Capsules to the same subnet on your Ethernet network.
2Give each device a unique name.
3Give each device the same network name and password.
4Set up the devices as bridges, following the instructions in the previous section.
If you want one device to assign IP addresses using DHCP, also do the following:
1Set up one device to act as the DHCP server.
2Set up the other devices as bridges, following the instructions in the previous section.
The device acting as a DHCP server can also receive its IP address via DHCP from a server on an Ethernet network or from a cable or DSL modem connected to an Internet service provider (ISP).
