APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME

Advantages
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 aess
throughout !ust about an" home or offie.
Simultaneous dual-band support.
Some Wi#$i devies use the %.&'() wireless band* inluding iPhone* iPod touh* and devies
using +,%.--b.g. /ther devies an use either %.&'() or the higher#speed 0'() band* suh as
the latest +,%.--n#based 1a omputers* iPad* and Apple T2. 3nstead of hoosing one of the
bands* AirPort Extreme operates simultaneousl" on both bands* and "our multiband devies
automatiall" use the best available band. This means all "our Wi#$i devies get the fastest
possible wireless performane and the best possible range. 3n addition* AirPort Extreme
redues the possibilit" of interferene from applianes and ordless phones that use the %.&'()
band.
Even faster performane.
Based on the 3EEE +,%.--n speifiation* AirPort Extreme uses a tehnolog" alled multiple#
input multiple#output 4131/5 to transmit multiple data streams simultaneousl". The result6
AirPort Extreme delivers data transfer speeds up to five times those of +,%.--g wireless
networks 7 while ahieving up to twie the range.

3t starts with the industr"#standard enr"ption tehnologies built into AirPort Extreme* inluding
WPA.WPA% and -%+#bit WEP.= When "ou turn on enr"ption 7 eas" to do using AirPort 8tilit"
7 "ou:ll ensure that onl" people with the orret password an !oin "our wireless network.

3f "ou want to let guests onnet to the 3nternet without giving them "our Wi#$i password* simpl"
enable the guest networking feature and set up a separate Wi#$i network !ust for them. 8se a
different password 7 or use no password at all 7 and "our primar" network* inluding "our
printer and an" attahed drives* remains seure.
,arring t!e net#or$ door.
AirPort Extreme inludes a built#in firewall that reates a barrier between "our network and the
3nternet* proteting "our data from maliious 3nternet attaks. When "ou set up the base station*
the firewall is automatiall" turned on to keep the bad gu"s out. $or omputers with a able or
