Setting Up Your AirPort Base Station
What You Need to Set Up the AirPort Base Station
for Internet Access
Before you set up the AirPort Base Station for Internet access, make sure of the following:
m You have a computer with an AirPort Card installed.
m The computer is already configured to access the Internet using its built-in modem or
another method such as a cable modem, DSL modem, or Ethernet network. (As part of
the setup process, a copy of your computer’s active Internet settings will be transferred to
the AirPort Base Station.)
m You have an account with an Internet service provider (fees may apply) or you have
Internet access through a network.
For more information on using AirPort with your Internet account, contact your ISP or go
to the AppleCare Knowledge Base at kbase.info.apple.com
If you do not have an AirPort-equipped computer, see the document called “Installation
Instructions” on your AirPort software CD for information on other ways to set up your
AirPort Base Station.
