1 1 Apple AirPort Extreme and Apple Bluetooth 2.0+EDR AirPort Extreme offers the easiest way to provide wireless Internet access and networking anywhere in the home, classroom, or office. Apple Bluetooth 2.0+EDR can eliminate the cables that traditionally connect devices together. This document provides overview information about AirPort and Bluetooth technology. For more detailed information, open Mac Help from the Help menu, and choose AirPort Help or Bluetooth Help from the Library menu. AirPort Extreme Instead of using traditional cables to create a network, AirPort uses wireless local area network (LAN) technology to provide wireless communication between computers. Through a wireless network you can access the Internet, share files, play multiplayer games, and more.Using AirPort technology, you can: Create a wireless network in your home or school using an AirPort Extreme Base Station, then connect to the Internet and share the connection among several computers simultaneously. An entire family or classroom can be on the Internet at the same time. Set up a wireless connection to your standard computer network. AirPort-equipped computers can then have access to an entire network without being connected with a cable. Connect multiple computers in a wireless “Computer-to-Computer” network so that you can share files or play network games.
2 To start using AirPort, open System Preferences and click Network. Choose AirPort from the Show pop-up menu, and then select “Show Airport status in the menu bar.” Use the Airport status icon in the menu bar to join a wireless network, create a Computer-to-Computer network, and turn AirPort on and off.
