Creating a Closed Network

The closed network option provides additional security by hiding the name of the network

created by the AirPort Extreme Base Station. Users must enter the exact network name to

join the AirPort network.

To create a closed network:

1 Open AirPort Admin Utility in (Applications/Utilities), select your base station, and click

Conﬁgure.

2 In the AirPort pane, select the “Create a closed network” checkbox.

To join a closed network, users of client computers must follow these steps:

1 Click the AirPort status icon in the menu bar and choose Other from the list of available

networks.

2 Enter the name and password of the AirPort network.

Note: The AirPort Setup Assistant can’t create a connection to a base station with a closed

network. Use AirPort Admin Utility to modify the conﬁguration of a base station with a closed

network. To use AirPort Admin Utility to set other advanced options, see “Set advanced

options” on page 43.
