Setting Up AirPort Express 2

Use AirPort Utility on your computer or Wi-Fi settings on an iOS device to do one of the following:

ÂÂ Set up your AirPort Express to create a new network that wireless computers and devices can use to connect to the Internet.

ÂÂ Set up your AirPort Express to join an existing network. If the network is connected to the Internet, all the computers and wireless devices on the AirPort network can use the Internet connection. If the network is set up to be extended, AirPort Express can extend the range of that network.

You can do all of your basic network setup and configuration with the setup assistant in AirPort Utility on a Mac or Windows computer, or with Wi-Fi settings on an iOS device. To manage your network and configure advanced options, see “Setting Advanced Options” on page 13.
