Setting up an AirPort base station
An AirPort base station provides a Wi-Fi connection to your home, school, or small business
network. You can use iPhone to set up a new AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or Time Capsule
base station.
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Under “Set up an AirPort base station,”
tap the name of the base station you want to set up. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
If the base station you want to set up isn’t listed, make sure that it has power, that you’re within
range, and that it hasn’t already been congured. You can only set up base stations that are new
or have been reset. Some older AirPort base stations cannot be set up using an iOS device. For
setup instructions, see the documentation that came with the base station.
Manage an AirPort network: If iPhone is connected to an AirPort base station, tap next to
the network name. If you haven’t already downloaded AirPort Utility, the App Store opens so you
can get it.
Bluetooth
iPhone can connect wirelessly to Bluetooth devices such as headsets, headphones, and car kits

Connect to a Bluetooth device: Tap the device in the Devices list, then follow the onscreen

Your organization may use a VPN to communicate private information securely over a non-
