If you use a different method from these three, such as a satellite
connection, consult your ISP for information on setting up your Mac.
Soar with AirPort
Sending data through the air with the greatest of ease is a breeze with your Mac. AirPort is Apple??™s
all-encompassing name for all things wireless, in terms of a network, of course. The AirPort card
in your Mac hooks up through the air with an AirPort Base Station (Apple??™s own brand of Internet
routers), or any other wireless network router, to give you the freedom to surf the Web in your
kitchen, on the sofa, or in your hammock, without the hassles of wires strapping you to your desk.
This chapter concentrates on connecting your Mac to an AirPort network and doesn??™t go into
much detail regarding the setup for your AirPort Base Station. Your AirPort device comes with
outstanding information for setting it up and connecting it to the Internet.
If you need step-by-step instructions for setting up AirPort Extreme Base Station,
AirPort Express, or any other AirPort model, check out Apple??™s AirPort Base Station and
Network Setup Guide online at http://docs.
