Next, make sure your AirPort connection options are active in Network preferences.

To set up Network preferences for an AirPort Extreme connection:

1Choose Apple (K) > System Preferences from the menu bar.

2Click Network.

3Choose Network Port Configurations from the Show pop-up menu.

4Select the On checkbox next to AirPort.

Next, follow the instructions to configure your network either manually or using DHCP, as instructed by your ISP or network administrator. If you’re setting up your network yourself, it may be easier to configure the network using DHCP, because the server assigns IP addresses automatically.
