AirPort Wireless Internet and Networking

Your PowerBook is AirPort-ready. It has a built-in antenna, and an AirPort Card may already be installed in it. AirPort offers an easy and affordable way to provide wireless Internet access anywhere in the home, at work, or in the classroom. Instead of using traditional cables, AirPort uses wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide wireless communication between multiple computers. Through a wireless network you can set up access to the Internet, transfer files, play multiplayer games, and more.

Note: Wireless Internet access requires an AirPort Card, AirPort Base Station, and Internet access (fees may apply). Some Internet service providers are not currently compatible with AirPort, including America Online. Range may vary with site conditions.

How AirPort Provides Wireless Internet Access

With AirPort, you set up a wireless connection to a device known as a base station, which has a physical connection to the Internet. AirPort technology works like a cordless telephone. The AirPort Card in the computer makes a wireless connection to the base, which is connected to the telephone line.
