Wi Fi

Wireless network users demand two things: higher speeds and greater range. The AirPort Extreme Base Station delivers on both fronts and offers superfast wireless network access throughout just about any home, office, or classroom.

Simultaneous dual-band support.

Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPod touch, and devices using 802.11b/g. Other devices can use either 2.4GHz or the higher-speed 5GHz band, such as the latest 802.11n-based Mac computers, iPad, and Apple TV. Instead of choosing one of the bands, AirPort Extreme operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multiband devices automatically use the best available band. This means all your Wi-Fi devices get the fastest possible wireless performance and the best possible  range. In addition, AirPort Extreme reduces the possibility of interference from appliances and cordless phones that use the 2.4GHz band.

Even faster performance.

Based on the IEEE 802.11n specification, AirPort Extreme uses a technology called multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to transmit multiple data streams simultaneously. The result? AirPort Extreme delivers data transfer speeds up to five times those of 802.11g wireless networks — while achieving up to twice the range.¹

 

 Imagine the possibilities.

Up to 50 people can all share the same Internet connection, exchange files using the file-sharing capability built into OS X or Windows, access local and remote file servers, annihilate the competition in multiplayer games — anything a typical network user can do, plus a number of things that are decidedly not typical, such as wireless storage and printing.²

 Share the Internet securely        with guest networking.

 It’s easy to allow guests to use your Internet  connection without sharing your password or giving  them access to the rest of your network. Simply  enable the guest networking feature using the AirPort  Utility application and create a separate Wi-Fi  network just for your friends. You can set up this  guest network with a different password or with none  at all. Your primary network — including your printer,  attached drives, or other devices — remains secure.

Compatible with 802.11a/b/g.

All currently shipping Mac and iOS devices support the latest 802.11n technology in the AirPort Extreme Base Station. And AirPort Extreme is compatible with Mac computers, PCs, and wireless devices such as iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch that use 802.11a, b, or g technologies. You can also rest assured that AirPort Extreme works with other Wi-Fi Certified 802.11n products.

 

Manage your wireless network from your iOS device or Mac.

Once your network is set up, AirPort Utility for iOS 5 and OS X Lion lets you manage and monitor your AirPort Extreme from your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac. It’s easier than ever to view the status of your Internet connection or add base stations to create a larger network. And if you want to do more — such as add a shared USB printer — it’s just as easy.

 

AirPort Extreme can turn your external USB hard drive into a drive you can share with all the users on your network and access securely over the Internet. This feature — AirPort Disk — is a simple and convenient way to share files among everyone in your family, office, or class.

Simple to use.

How does it work? Just connect the external hard drive to the USB port on the back of your AirPort Extreme and — voilà — all the documents, videos, photos, and other files on the drive instantly become available to anyone on the secure network, Mac and PC users alike. It’s perfect for file sharing, collaborative projects, and more.

You can set up password-protected accounts for everyone on the network or allow read-only access to certain files and folders. If you’re using OS X Leopard or later, you’ll see the drive in your Finder sidebar, where it’s always available for accessing files and folders. For OS X Tiger and Windows users, a simple-to-use AirPort Disk Utility provides a variety of setup options, including setting the disk to become available whenever you connect to the network.

 

Print. Share. Do it all.

What if you’d like to exchange files over your wireless network and still have access to a wireless printer? Easy. Just connect a USB hub to AirPort Extreme and attach your devices to the hub. Share both a printer and a hard drive, multiple printers, multiple hard drives, or a combination.

Ever wish you had more than one printer in your home or office — one for every computer so you never have to go far to print something? Say you want to print a business letter from the living room, or your son wants to print his school report from his bedroom. Taking each computer into the den simply to print something is inconvenient, and buying a printer for every room is expensive.

 

Print from anywhere.

With wireless printing through AirPort Extreme, it’s almost like having a printer in every room of the home or office. AirPort Extreme uses the Mac- and PC-compatible Bonjour networking technology to let everyone on the network take advantage of one centrally available printer. Wirelessly, of course.*

Plug and print.

Here’s how simple it is to set up: Just plug the printer into the USB port on the AirPort Extreme Base Station, add it to the printer list on your Mac or PC, and you’re good to print — without a single cable tethering anyone’s computer to the printer.

If you want to both print and share a USB hard drive, no problem. Just connect a USB hub to AirPort Extreme and attach your devices to the hub.

The AirPort Extreme Base Station takes strong measures to keep your online world as safe as possible — from securing your base station to preventing outside intrusion to controlling when your kids surf the web.

Worry-free networking.

It starts with the industry-standard encryption technologies built into AirPort Extreme, including WPA/WPA2 and 128-bit WEP.* When you turn on encryption — easy to do using AirPort Utility — you’ll ensure that only people with the correct password can join your wireless network.

Share the Internet securely with guest networking.

If you want to let guests connect to the Internet without giving them your Wi-Fi password, simply enable the guest networking feature and set up a separate Wi-Fi network just for them. Use a different password — or use no password at all — and your primary network, including your printer and any attached drives, remains secure.

Barring the network door.

AirPort Extreme includes a built-in firewall that creates a barrier between your network and the Internet, protecting your data from malicious Internet attacks. When you set up the base station, the firewall is automatically turned on to keep the bad guys out. For computers with a cable or DSL modem, using AirPort is actually safer than being directly connected to the modem.

Parent easy, kid safe.

A useful access control feature lets you decide not only who accesses your network but also when they can access it. If you have kids with their own computers, for example, you can control the times they’re allowed to access the network. They can have accounts that are available only at certain hours of the day — for example, when you can be home to keep an eye on them.

AirPort Extreme works seamlessly and wirelessly with all your Wi-Fi devices. In fact, it’s an incredibly easy way for up to 50 users to share a single broadband Internet connection, USB printer, and external hard drive without messy cables.

More than the web.

AirPort Extreme connects people to each other as well. You can wirelessly share photos, movies, and other files without having to worry about slow data transmissions. Nor do you have to concern yourself with a difficult network setup. AirPort Extreme uses the Bonjour technology in OS X to allow AirPort-equipped Mac computers running OS X to find each other with no effort on your part — they discover each other just by virtue of being connected to the network.

More than computers.

Computers are only part of the wireless story. If you’re an Apple TV owner, you can easily integrate it into your AirPort Extreme network and enjoy the fastest possible connection for streaming your iTunes library to your widescreen TV. And if you use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, it will connect to your AirPort Extreme network to let you surf the web and more. iPhone and iPad models with Wi-Fi + 3G automatically switch from the cellular network to your Wi-Fi network as soon as you walk in your front door.

Mac and PC friendly.

AirPort Extreme works effortlessly with any computer that uses Wi-Fi standards, whether it’s a Mac or a Dell, HP, IBM, or any other Windows-based PC. That’s because AirPort Extreme is based on the 802.11n specification and is compatible with the earlier 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g specifications.

Gigabit Ethernet.

In addition to Wi-Fi networking, the AirPort Extreme Base Station includes three Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast wired connectivity with desktop computers, network drives, and more.
