Setting up an AirPort base station

An AirPort base station provides a Wi-Fi connection to your home, school, or small business
network. You can use iPad to set up a new AirPort Express base station, AirPort Extreme base
station, or Time Capsule.
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Under the “Set up an AirPort base
station” heading, tap the name of the base station you want to set up. Then follow the onscreen
instructions.
Some older AirPort base stations cannot be set up using an iOS device. For setup instructions, see
the documentation that came with the base station.
If the base station you want to set up isn’t listed, make sure it has power, that you’re within range,
and that it hasn’t already been congured. You can only set up base stations that are new or have
been reset.
If your AirPort base station is already congured, the AirPort Utility app from the App Store lets
you change the base station’s settings and monitor its status.
