AirPort Extreme Wireless Connection You can configure your AirPort Extreme network and Internet connection using AirPort Setup Assistant, located in the Utilities folder within your Applications folder. The assistant helps you configure the AirPort Extreme Base Station and set up your computer to use AirPort Extreme. For more information about your AirPort Extreme Base Station, see the AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup Guide that came with your base station. If your AirPort Extreme Base Station is already configured, in most cases your AirPort Extreme Card is ready to access it immediately. To check if you have access to an AirPort Extreme network: m Click the AirPort status icon in the menu bar and choose an AirPort network listed there. If you don't see an AirPort network listed, you can use AirPort Setup Assistant to check or change your settings, or you can change them using the Network pane of System Preferences.
