Chapter 9. Set Up a Network

How you configure your base station depends on the type of network you're building. In this section, I look at scenarios: pairing the kind of network that you want to which settings to make in the Assist Me mode of AirPort Utility.

Each scenario is followed by an explanation of how to use AirPort Utility for a basic configuration of that scenario. For a more advanced setup, each scenario links to later topics on extending a network wirelessly and changing security options, for instance.
