Read this guide to get started. AirPort Extreme provides simultaneous dual-âband wireless 802.11n networking. When you set up your AirPort Extreme Base Station, it creates two high-âspeed Wi-âFi networks: Ă A 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) network for 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n devices, such as iPhone, iPod touch, and older computers Ă A 5 GHz network for 802.11n and 802.11a devices, such as newer computers 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: Ă Create a password-âprotected wireless home network, and then connect to the Internet and share the connection with other computers and Wi-âFi devices, such CUK2JQPGK2QFVQWEJCPF#RRNG68;QWECPCNUQUJCTG°NGUCOQPIEQORWVGTU connected to the network. Ă Create a guest network with or without password protection, to provide Internet-âonly access to wireless devices, such as computers, iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple TV. LL5909BOOK.indb 5 3/28/11 2:00 PM Ă Connect your AirPort Extreme to your Ethernet network. Wireless-âequipped Macintosh computers, Windows XP, or Windows Vista computers can then have access to an entire network without being connected by a cable. Ă Connect a supported USB device, such as a printer or a scanner, to your AirPort Extreme. All of the compatible computers on the AirPort network, both wireless and wired, can access the device. Ă Connect a USB hard disk to your AirPort Extreme. All of the compatible computers on the AirPort network, both wireless and wired, can access the information on the hard disk. Ă Connect a USB hub to your AirPort Extreme, and then connect multiple USB devices, such as printers or hard disks. All of the computers on the network have access to those devices. Important: Use AirPort Utility to set up your simultaneous dual-âband AirPort Extreme Base Station. Previous versions of AirPort Setup Assistant and AirPort Admin Utility are not compatible with this base station. AirPort Utility is installed in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS X, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows. If AirPort Utility isnât installed on your computer, you can download it from apple.com/ airport/support. Apple periodically updates AirPort software. Itâs recommended that you update your software to keep your AirPort Extreme up to date.

Chapter 4 Tips and Troubleshooting LL5909BOOK.indb 33 33 3/28/11 2:00 PM AirPort Extreme Placement Considerations The following recommendations can help your AirPort Extreme achieve maximum wireless range and optimal network coverage. Ă Place your AirPort Extreme in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as large pieces of furniture or walls. Try to place it away from metallic surfaces. Ă If you place your AirPort Extreme behind furniture, keep at least an inch of space between the AirPort Extreme and the edge of the furniture. Ă Avoid placing your AirPort Extreme in areas surrounded by metal surfaces on three or more sides. Ă If you place your AirPort Extreme in an entertainment center with your stereo equipment, avoid completely surrounding the AirPort Extreme with audio, video, or power cables. Place your AirPort Extreme so that the cables are to one side. Maintain as much space as possible between the AirPort Extreme and the cables. Ă Try to place your AirPort Extreme at least 25 feet (7.6 meters) from a microwave oven, 2.4 or 5 gigahertz (GHz) cordless phones, or other sources of interference. Items That Can Cause Interference with AirPort The farther away the interference source, the less likely it is to cause a problem. The following items can cause interference with AirPort communication: Ă Microwave ovens Ă Direct Satellite Service (DSS) radio frequency leakage Ă The original coaxial cable that came with certain types of satellite dishes. Contact the device manufacturer and obtain newer cables. 34 Chapter 4 Tips and Troubleshooting LL5909BOOK.indb 34 3/28/11 2:00 PM Ă Certain electrical devices such as power lines, electrical railroad tracks, and power stations Ă Cordless telephones that operate in the 2.4 or 5 GHz range. If you have problems with your phone or AirPort communication, change the channel your base station or AirPort Extreme uses, or change the channel your phone uses. Ă Nearby base stations using adjacent channels. For example, if base station A is set to channel 1, base station B should be set to channel 6 or 11.
