How AirPort Provides Wireless Internet Access
With AirPort, you set up a wireless connection to a device known as a base station,
which has a physical connection to the Internet. AirPort technology works like a
cordless telephone. The AirPort Extreme Card in the computer makes a wireless
connection to the base station, which is connected to the Internet via a telephone line
or a DSL or cable modem.
