Set Up a Network

In this chapter, I look at scenarios: pairing the kind of network that

you want with an explanation of how to use AirPort Utility for a basic

configuration of that scenario. (At the end of this chapter, I talk about

two special options,

Create Separately Named 2.4 and 5 GHz Networks

and Configure IPv6 Networking. Most people can skip these topics.)

The next chapter helps you tweak your selection of channels and

determine exactly where

to place your base station.

Placing a Base Station

If you haven’t figured out where best to put your new base station

or stations, you may wish to skip ahead and read Pick the Right

Place. Note that you can configure a base station first, and then

relocate

it,

using advice in that section to find the optimal placement.

Picture Your Scenario

Pick a scenario and proceed as directed; each scenario begins with a

diagram and explanation of the type of network and then gives steps.

Are you:

• Setting up a new network with a single base station connected to

a broadband modem? See New Network, Single Base Station.

• Extending a network? See Extend a Network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

• Replacing an existing base station with a new unit and want exactly

the

same

settings? See Replace an Existing Base Station.

• None of the above. If your scenario isn’t in this list, consult later

sections in this book, which examine

advanced options.
