Setting up an AirPort base station
An AirPort base station provides a Wi-Fi connection to your home, school, or small business
network. You can use iPhone to set up a new AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule
base station.
Use the AirPort Setup Assistant: Go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Under “Set up an AirPort base station,”
tap the name of the base station you want to set up. Then follow the onscreen instructions.
Some older AirPort base stations cannot be set up using an iOS device. For setup instructions, see
the documentation that came with the base station.
If the base station you want to set up isn’t listed, make sure that it has power, that you’re within
range, and that it hasn’t already been congured. You can only set up base stations that are new
or have been reset.
If your AirPort base station is already congured, the AirPort Utility app from the App Store lets
you change its settings and monitor its status on iPhone.
