Setup Airport Express on MAC :

Once the AirPort Utility is installed launch the program.

When it starts you'll see the new base station listed on the left. Make sure it is highlighted. Click Continue.

In the fields presented in the window give the AirPort Express a name (for instance it it's located in your home office maybe call it "office" or "bedroom" if that's where it is) and a password that you'll remember so you can access it later.

Click Continue. Next---

1. You'll be asked whether you're connecting the AirPort Express to an existing network (choose this if you already have a Wi-Fi network) replacing another (if you're getting rid of your old network hardware) or connecting via Ethernet.

2. For the purposes of this tutorial I'm going to assume that you've already got a wireless network and that this is just an addition to it. Choose that option and click Continue.

3. You'll see a list of the available wireless networks in your area. Select yours to add the AirPort Express to. Click Continue.

4. When the changed settings are saved the AirPort Express will restart.

5. When it restarts the AirPort Express will appear in the AirPort Utility window with the new name you gave it and will be ready to use.
