Apple MD031LL/A setup guide Getting Started

Getting Started 1

Congratulations on purchasing your simultaneous dual-band AirPort Extreme Base Station. Read this guide to get started.

AirPort Extreme provides simultaneous dual-band wireless 802.11n networking. When you set up your AirPort Extreme Base Station, it creates two high-speed Wi-Fi networks:

ÂÂ A 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) network for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices, such as iPhone, iPod touch, and older computers

ÂÂ A 5 GHz network for 802.11n and 802.11a devices, such as newer computers, iPad, and Apple TV

Wireless devices join the network that provides them the best performance and compatibility, and the AirPort Extreme shares your broadband Internet connection with computers and devices on your network.

With your AirPort Extreme, you can:

ÂÂ Create a password-protected wireless home network, and then connect to the Internet and share the connection with other computers and Wi-Fi devices, such as iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV. You can also share files among computers connected to the network.

ÂÂ Create a guest network with or without password protection, to provide Internet-only access to wireless devices, such as computers, iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV.
