How AirPort Extreme Provides Wireless Internet Access
With AirPort Extreme, you set up a wireless connection to a device known as a base
station, which has a physical connection to the Internet. AirPort Extreme technology
works like a cordless telephone. The AirPort Extreme Card in the computer makes a
wireless connection to the base station, which is connected to the telephone line, a
DSL or cable modem, or a local-area network with Internet access.
