Easy Setup

Set up your Wi-Fi network with your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or Mac.

With the setup assistant built into iOS and OS X, you’re just a few taps or clicks away from setting up a new wireless network or extending your current one. For the most basic setup, all you need to do is plug in your AirPort Extreme and connect it to your DSL or cable modem. Then simply select your AirPort Extreme in Wi-Fi settings in iOS, or from the Wi-Fi menu in OS X, and follow the instructions. The setup assistant does the rest. In less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee, your network is ready to use.

Wi-Fi setup in iOS:

  • 1 In Wi-Fi Settings, tap your AirPort base station to create a new network.
  • 2 Select Create a New Network, give it a password, and tap Next.
  • 3 Now you’re connected to your new network. Tap Done and you’re up and running.

Manage your wireless network
from your iOS device or Mac.

Once your network is set up, AirPort Utility for iOS and OS X lets you manage and monitor your AirPort Extreme from your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or Mac. It’s easier than ever to view the status of your Internet connection or add base stations to create a larger network. And if you want to do more — such as add a shared USB printer — it’s just as easy.
