At moment my router is a linksys WRT54G.

But my TC 500GB just arrived at home!
🙂

Is it easy to install? Or there is a special settings?

Thank you!
 
Easy imo,
Put your WAN cable (out of modem) in the WAN port
Connect power
Connect using ethernet or using wireless
Aiport Utility and create your custom settings 😀
 
There's no call to be rude. We're here to help you, not to chew your metaphorical food for you. The information you're looking for is right in front of you, so I don't see why you would expect us to provide it. If you have any specific questions, we would of course be happy to field them.
 
At moment I am using a Linksys WRT54G and my wirelles security is done with WPA and allowing access to my network with MacAddress permissions (3 computers).

But tonight I am going to install my TC. Could I setup it with the same wireless security? WPA and MacAddress? Or there is another method?

Thank you.

Help Help Help!!!

HELP HELP HELP!!! 😕

I am installing my TC but the light keeps yellow and my iMac does not recognize my TC.

WHY?
 
Now it is working...green light!

But...

1) How can I know other people are not to able to access me network? Where I setup it?

2) Could I allow access to my network using MacAddress? Where?

Thx...
