Anyone want to share some tips to make this an easy process? Any advice is appreciated. 🙂
 
You just plug it in, plug your modem into that, go to your network preferences and tell it to use the airport and the rest is easy to setup. It's the easiest router to set up in my experience.

thanks Jessica! If I have any questions I'll revert back to this thread. Its should be here within the hour. 😀
 
well this is typical for me. it's not working. I keep getting an error. 😡

says firmware needs updated, but how can I do that if it wont connect to internet?
 
Can you plug your modem directly into you mac to access the internet?

You should still be able to use it without updating to the newest firmware (I think)😛
 
for some reason its saying my base is not connected to the net. even though I have the ethernet cables connected in the right spots. any ideas?

yes i can connect the modem directly to the imac. im using someone else's wireless until i can figure this out. 🙁
 
ok I Mac says i'm connected to the router. now the only thing it wont let me secure my wireless network. ideas? sorry for the trouble. just down right confusing. I've done this before with Netgear. WTH?
 
ok I don't I think I had to change my password to something other than what I used for just the base station. which is cool. I have a green light and thats all i care about. thanks to those with open suggestions. you guys rock 😀
